The Trump administration has reportedly made clear that it wants Europe to drop content moderation requirements for US tech giants. Vice President JD Vance offered hints of the crusading approach at the February AI summit in Paris, where he denounced two European laws: the privacy-focused GDPR (“endless legal compliance costs”) and the Digital Services Act (“policing so-called misinformation”), and negotiators have followed up. The big US platforms are likely to win these fights, the German legislator and Big Tech critic Franziska Brantner told me. The companies “do not pretend any more that they want to comply,” and the Digital Services Act depends on their compliance, while her government has more urgent priorities, like auto exports.
