Relations between the EU and USA are plummeting because the EU hates democracy and wants to be a fascist state.

"The EU's antitrust and tech chiefs told U.S. lawmakers in March that the new tech rule aims to keep digital markets open and is not targeted at U.S. companies.

U.S. social media companies like Facebook and Instagram parent Meta Platforms have said the DSA amounts to censorship of their platforms."

I like the way the wording is used: "is not targeted at U.S. companies". While on its face the phrase is true, from my point of view its aimed at the American people, using US social media platforms as the proxy. Think of it as California with their stupid regulations, where it forces companies to comply with, effectively pushing the results on everyone else. The people of Indiana, or Nebraska, etc. didn't approve of those regulations, but are forced to live with the result because companies change their product because its 'easier to comply' than tell California to 'eff off'.
Case in point: the ICC, to which the US is not a party, but the ICC claims (well, tries to) jurisdiction. If the potential repercussions weren't terrible to contemplate, I could see the ICC kidnapping US citizens it deems in violation of whatever ruling it makes to 'try them' (I believe there was an important document where a complaint about such behavior was listed).

A president Kamala would be lockstep with the Europeans in censoring American’s speech. We wouldn’t recognize our country right now.

We dodged a bullet, just like Trump did.
