Headline:  “Social Media Companies Face Global Tug-of-War Over Free Speech”

Subhead:  “President-elect Donald J. Trump’s picks for the F.C.C. and F.T.C. have vowed to remove censorship online. That conflicts with European regulators who are pushing for stricter moderation.”

“President-elect Donald J. Trump and his allies have vowed to squash an online ‘censorship cartel’ of social media firms that they say targets conservatives.

“Already, the president-elect’s newly chosen regulators at the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission have outlined plans to stop social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube from removing content the companies deem offensive — and punish advertisers that leave less restrictive platforms like X in protest of the lack of moderation.”
