EU's Digital Services Act is pushing boundaries—literally. Their content moderation rules don't stop at European borders. Now they're reaching across the Atlantic, dictating what Americans can post online. Europe's already got tight restrictions on speech. Question is: should one region's definition of acceptable content become everyone's standard? The cross-border enforcement angle gets messy fast. Who decides what's harmful when cultural contexts differ wildly? This whole setup raises bigger questions about sovereignty in the digital age and whether decentralized platforms might be the answer.
