The European Union, France, and Germany have threatened to ban the United States from issuing visas to European figures who combat hate speech and misinformation online. This move is a retaliatory measure against potential US actions. It was previously reported that Washington is considering denying visas to EU citizens involved in the fight against the spread of false information. In response, Brussels, Paris, and Berlin have warned that they will take reciprocal measures against Americans. "We will not allow the values of freedom of speech and democracy to be threatened," the EU stated. This conflict deepens the disagreements between NATO allies.
