European regulators just slapped a massive fine on a major social platform, and everyone's talking about free speech violations. But here's the real story: this is trade warfare dressed up as regulation. Get this—fines against American tech giants now make up a fifth of the EU's entire tariff income. That's not enforcement, that's a revenue stream. With tensions escalating, Washington might need to start playing hardball on this issue.

The EU's tactics are truly ruthless—using the banner of regulation to squeeze American tech giants. This is just disguised protectionism.

The EU is squeezing American tech giants again. In my opinion, this is just a trade war disguised as regulation, not really an issue of freedom of speech.

To put it bluntly, the EU is just using fines as an ATM—who still has the nerve to talk about freedom of speech?

This move by the EU is really just an attempt to profit off American tech giants, forget about so-called freedom of speech.

The EU’s move is truly something else—dressed up as regulation, but in reality, it’s financial warfare.

The EU really played a genius move here—dressing it up as regulation, but actually going after the money of American tech giants. --- To put it bluntly, it’s just another way to rake in money, treating fines as a source of tax revenue. --- This is the real trade war, even more covert than tariffs... --- Just wait, Washington will strike back sooner or later—then we’ll see who’s tougher. --- American tech giants are really getting squeezed, and the EU’s combination move is pretty smart. --- They talk about protecting free speech, but in the end, it’s all about the money. --- So now even free expression has to be taxed according to the EU’s tax schedule? --- If this makes Washington uneasy, what’s the next move going to be?

The EU is just putting up a front and selling something different, thinking we can't see through their tricks.
