President-elect Trump should push back on efforts in Europe and other countries to crack down on the US tech industry, according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

BRUSSELS — Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg was not telling the truth when he said the European Union was institutionalizing censorship, the bloc’s top tech official said.

The Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the US government under the leadership of new President Donald Trump should prevent the EU from fining American technology companies. We are talking about fines for violating antitrust rules and committing other offenses,

He complained on the world's biggest podcast that in the last 10 years "people started pushing for ideologically based censorship."

Comparing the bloc’s antitrust penalties to tariffs, the Meta boss argued that Brussels is “screwing with” American industry.

The European Union seems powerless to counter the assault waged by the US president-elect and Big Tech, against laws designed to regulate the EU's digital space.

The European Commission said on Tuesday it was assessing its cases against Apple, Alphabet, X and Meta, stressing that President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House did not affect its commitment to enforcing its laws.

The European Commission might change its approach to US tech giants probes ahead of the Trump presidency. Here's what it means.

All the impending EU fines and rulings against Apple, Google, and Meta, are reportedly off the table as Europe awaits Trump — and reveals just how political its regulations are.
