At some point you need to draw a hard line in sand when it comes to people trying to actively supress freedom of expression.
Otherwise they just keep trying and trying. A bully won't stop until he gets punched in the face, and this is what the USA did to the EU bully bureaucrats pushing their will everywhere.
Also banned: “Imran Ahmed, the British CEO of the US-based Center for Countering Digital Hate; Anna-Lena von Hodenberg and Josephine Ballon of the German non-profit HateAid; and Clare Melford, co-founder of the Global Disinformation Index”
The bullies are anti-disinformation and anti-hate speech activists?
The USA using its diplomatic power to become a defender of hate-speech and disinformation?
I guess when JD Vance deliberately snubbed the democratically elected government of the country when visiting Germany and instead spent his time with a far-right neo-nazi party, it should have been clear which way the wind was blowing.
As a European I’m pleased to see consequences for these arrogant unelected bureaucrats. Breton, in particular, seemed to delight in attacking free speech.
Breton once threatened Musk simply for hosting an interview with the democratically-elected President of the US on X:
It would be cool to see the EU bar a few tech CEOs from travel to Europe, since they’re very clearly the people behind this. Say Zuckerberg and Musk. Tit for tat immigration restrictions seems like a hot upcoming idea.

Shame that so few of us Europeans do the same.

Musk is probably the most obvious candidate for this, but there are several others.
