VP Vance just dropped a statement that's turning heads across the Atlantic. He's calling out the EU's latest move against X as a direct assault on free speech.
Here's the backdrop: Brussels is cooking up some serious penalties under their Digital Services Act, and guess who's in the crosshairs? Major American tech platforms. Washington's reading this as forced censorship wrapped in compliance language.
Vance's team isn't holding back. They're actively pushing back against what they see as regulatory overreach. The timing's interesting too—this comes as the Digital Services Act rolls out enforcement measures that could reshape how platforms operate globally.
For anyone in the crypto and Web3 space, this matters. X has become ground zero for crypto conversations, project launches, and community building. Any regulatory squeeze on the platform could ripple through how information flows in our ecosystem.
The real question: Will this escalate into a full-blown tech policy clash between the U.S. and EU? Stay tuned.

Not gonna lie, this time the gloves are really off. X targeting us crypto folks has completely blocked our information window.

Ha, it's the same old "freedom of speech" facade again. Has X become America's moat? Wake up, it's still a tool for fleecing retail investors, just under a different name.
This script is written so well—when the EU gets tough, the US starts shouting about freedom. To put it bluntly, it's just two big players fighting for control over information flow. Our crypto circle is caught in the middle, and if X gets choked off, our information sources will be in chaos.
But to be honest, if strict regulation really comes, those fake projects and shitcoin promotion chains do need to be cut off. The only worry is that, in the end, it'll be the legit projects that suffer the most.

lol the EU is at it again, really sees itself as the world police... If X gets taken down, all these coin projects will have nowhere to speak.

Nah, this is just the EU playing its old trick of targeting American tech companies again... X really is the last free territory for the crypto community.
