It's concerning to see Europe's regulatory efforts potentially stifling American free speech, especially when it comes to the internet, a domain that should champion free expression above all. The idea of the EU policing content beyond its borders feels like a direct affront to the principle of sovereignty and the global spirit of the internet. Moreover, the push for Europe to ramp up its defense capabilities independently seems like a sensible move for their autonomy, but it raises questions about the future of international defense collaborations and the principle of non-interventionism.
