Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg this week accused Europe of “censorship”, echoing comments by tech billionaire Elon Musk who has slammed a landmark EU digital content law, and is a close ally of the incoming US president Donald Trump. Brussels rejects the charge.
“Our task is to make sure that European citizens rights are respected and our legislation is followed. This ensures a level playing field and a safe online environment for all,“ she added in a second post.
In an interview Friday with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg called on Trump to act to defend US big tech firms from EU penalties.
He also said the EU had fined tech companies “more than $30 billion over the last like, 10 or 20 years”, arguing its policy on the firms was “almost like a tariff”.
The interview came days after Meta announced it was scrapping third-party fact-checking in the United States and would turn to a model known as “Community Notes”, popularised by X, where users themselves moderate and debunk falsehoods.
In the latest move, French MEP Stephanie Yon-Courtin wrote to commission president Ursula von der Leyen Friday urging Brussels “not (to) buckle” under US pressure.
