EU Official Sanctioned by US Urges Resistance

Thierry Breton, a former EU official, was banned from traveling to the US because he helped create rules for social media platforms in Europe.

The US says these rules are unfair to American companies.

Breton says the EU should not change its laws just because the US is unhappy.

He believes the EU needs to be stronger in standing up for its own rules, especially when other countries try to influence them.

Breton received a lot of support from politicians after the US announced the ban.

He was surprised when he found out about the ban because the rules he helped create were supported by almost everyone in the EU.
