If the problem is created For Digital Service Law (DSA), Landmark European Law by conducting the Big Tech platforms. On August 28, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sent a fascinating letter to a number of technology giants, including Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple. Topic of Letters: European Digital Services Act cannot be applied if it is freedom of expression and, above all, the protection of US citizens in danger.
The inauguration of a letter conducted by FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson is a prominent reference to the first amendment to the United States Constitution: “Online platforms have become the focus of public debate, and in recent years, extensive online censorship has not only been objected to Americans.
Trump administration
The Trump administration intends to reverse the opposite, and on this side the attack on “foreign power,” in the European Union and the UK and especially the digital service law and online security law began. The letter is mentioned in European control over personal information protection, indirectly mentioned, whose measures are “imposing censorship and weakening of the end -to -end encryption” as a result of the weakening of Americans’ freedom.
Privacy and end -to -end encryption: Table subjects
In the letter, the US disbelievers, especially the 5 organizations, asked to report “how they intended to adhere to the wrong international regulatory requirements” (the deadline for a meeting was scheduled for August 25) and recalls the obligations of American customers under the Federal Trade Commission, which may be protected or practicing.
And in case it is specifically on the Protection Front and especially in the last-to-end encryption, FTC Big Tech companies have called for order: “Companies that their service has been protected or encrypted, but failed to use the end-end-end encryption, who can seek the right of this level.” Accordingly, “in some situations may require the use of end -to -end encryption and failure to implement these national systems can be an unfair practice.” The Federal Trade Commission may violate Section 5 of the Act, so the encryption or other protection system is weakened in compliance with the laws or requests of a foreign government.
What happens in case of disputes and interventions
In a tweet in X, Ferguson clearly wrote that “If companies censor to Americans or weaken privacy and communication protection at the request of foreign energy, I would not hesitate to enforce the law.”
“The way we live in a global society overlaps and the interference between various legal systems are natural. Just think the opposite between the European Privacy Act and the famous American Cloud Act,” Gaido Scoreza Ward told the Italian Data Protection Authority. Scoreza believes that in significant significance, “Identifying corrective systems capable of guaranteeing sovereignty including digital in each country will depend on the US government and the European Commission.”
