Bill Summary
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that European laws and regulations unfairly and unreasonably burden American speech and innovation.
AI Summary
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' strong objection to European digital regulations, particularly the EU's Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act, and the UK's Online Safety Act, which the resolution claims unfairly burden American tech companies and potentially infringe on First Amendment free speech rights. The resolution criticizes these laws as deliberately targeting American technology companies, imposing significant financial costs, violating due process, and potentially censoring political discourse. It calls on the Trump administration to use diplomatic and economic tools to protect American free expression and innovation, and urges the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission to reject the antitrust principles underlying these European regulations and refuse cooperation in their enforcement. The resolution frames these European laws as a form of targeted trade barrier that aims to disadvantage American companies while protecting European competitors, describing them as a potential "tax on American innovators" that distorts free market principles and could potentially fund European social welfare systems.
