Protecting US Free Speech and Innovation from European Digital Regulations.
The House of Representatives formally expresses disapproval of major European digital laws (like the DSA and DMA), arguing they unfairly restrict American free speech and harm US technological innovation. The resolution calls on the administration to use diplomatic and economic tools to safeguard citizens' First Amendment rights online and protect American tech companies from what are described as targeted trade barriers. This stance could influence how global social media platforms moderate content accessed by US citizens.
