Friday 17 January 2025

“All companies operating in Europe must comply with our rules and legislation, which are in force for European companies as well as companies from third countries.” Thus, Henna Virkkunen, the EU Commission’s Executive Vice President for Technological Sovereignty. In response to questions from the press about Zuckerberg and Musk’s statements against the Dsa, Virkkunen said that “it is important to clarify that the DSA protects freedom of expression, one of our core values, because we have seen that to date people say that we are restricting freedom of expression through the Dsa, but that is not the case.” According to the vice president, “what we want to achieve is a fair and secure digital structure for all citizens and companies in Europe.”
