France is not happy with the U. S. A few days ago, the U. S. banned visas for some Europeans. One of them is Thierry Breton. He used to be a big shot in the EU. He helped make rules for tech companies. The U. S. says these rules are unfair. They think the rules stop free speech on social media.

France says the U. S. is wrong. The French foreign minister said the rules are fair. They make sure bad stuff online is also illegal. The U. S. says the rules go too far. They think the rules hurt American companies.

Breton himself is mad. He said the U. S. is acting like it's the 1950s. He reminded everyone that the EU rules were voted on by many people. He said the U. S. is wrong about who is censoring.

This is not the first time the U. S. and EU have fought over tech rules. The U. S. says the rules hurt their companies. The EU says the rules are fair. This fight is not over yet.


    # **France and the U.S. Clash Over Tech Rules**

    France is **not happy** with the U.S. A few days ago, the U.S. banned visas for some Europeans. **One of them is Thierry Breton**, a former high-ranking official in the EU. He helped create rules for tech companies.

    ## **The U.S. vs. EU Rules**

    The U.S. claims these rules are **unfair** and believe they **limit free speech** on social media. France disagrees. The French foreign minister stated that the rules are **fair** and ensure that **illegal content is removed**.

    The U.S. argues that the rules **go too far** and **hurt American companies**. Breton, however, is **furious**. He accused the U.S. of acting like it's **the 1950s** and reminded everyone that the EU rules were **voted on by many people**. He denied allegations of censorship.

    ## **A Repeated Dispute**

    This is **not the first time** the U.S. and EU have clashed over tech regulations. The U.S. insists the rules **harm their companies**, while the EU maintains they are **justified**. This **ongoing battle** is far from over.
