Vice President JD Vance announced that the European Commission may impose fines on platform X amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars for its refusal to engage in censorship. This statement was made during a recent press briefing.
Vance emphasized the importance of free speech and criticized the EU"s approach towards American companies. He stated that the EU should support free speech rather than attack businesses that operate under different regulatory frameworks.
This potential action by the EU Commission reflects ongoing tensions between European regulatory standards and American tech companies. As previously reported, similar situations have arisen in other countries regarding content moderation and platform accountability.
