Trump Administration Imposes Visa Ban on EU Former Commissioner Who Once Called for Review of Musk's X Platform

BlockBeats News, December 24th, according to CNBC, the Trump administration has imposed a visa ban on the key driver behind the Digital Services Act (DSA), former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, and four anti-disinformation activists, accusing them of pressuring American social media platforms.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement: "The State Department is taking decisive action against five individuals who have systematically coerced American platforms to conduct content moderation, strip them of their profit eligibility, and suppress American viewpoints they disagree with. These radicals and weaponized NGOs have driven foreign government censorship and repression - always targeting American speakers and American companies. Therefore, their entry into the United States could have serious adverse foreign policy consequences."

Reportedly, Breton served as an EU Commissioner from 2019 to 2024, this action stems from a 2024 incident where Breton threatened Musk to comply with the Digital Services Act over Trump's unmoderated interview on the X platform, deepening the U.S.-EU conflict on digital regulation and freedom of speech.
