US Presidential Administration Donald Trump considers the possibility of sanctions against EU officials or Member States responsible for the implementation of the Digital Services Act, DSA)Reuters sources reported. The US believes that new rules restrict the freedom of Americans and create costs for American technological companies.

Until the final decision is made, possible measures may include restrictions on visas. Currently, they do not specify which officials will fall under sanctions. Earlier, Secretary of State Marco Rubio instructed US diplomats to campaign against DSA so that the law is changed or abolished.

DSA is intended to make the Internet safer, including forcing technological companies to fight illegal content, including the language of hostility and sexual abuse materials against children. The EU deny accusations of censorship and emphasize the protection of freedom of speech and information.

In addition, Trump also threatens digital taxation with additional duties and export restrictions on US technologies if these laws are not canceled. The administration states that EU actions are perceived as an attempt to limit conservative voices, not just as market regulation.
