Overview

• Reuters, citing two sources, reports the administration has discussed visa restrictions for EU or member‑state officials implementing the DSA.
• Senior State Department officials have not decided whether to proceed after internal meetings last week, and no potential targets have been identified.
• A State Department spokesperson declined to confirm the discussions, saying the U.S. is monitoring what it calls increasing censorship in Europe.
• The European Commission calls the censorship allegation completely unfounded, saying the DSA targets illegal content and safeguards freedom of expression.
• An earlier directive instructed U.S. diplomats to lobby European counterparts over the law’s costs for U.S. firms, as POLITICO says it has not independently verified Reuters’ account.
