The US is considering visa sanctions against EU officials over the Digital Services Act (DSA), which regulates large online platforms. Reuters reported the US held internal meetings about this, though the State Department wouldn't confirm. The DSA imposes strict rules on platforms with over 45 million EU users to combat misinformation and harm to minors. While the White House reportedly sought EU concessions, none were made. US Republicans criticize the DSA as censorship, and the State Department launched a campaign against it, citing existing visa restrictions for those censoring Americans.
