  • Summary

    Defending a particular vision of the freedom of expression rooted in its history and culture, the European Union has, in recent years, significantly increased its interventions in internet law. However, it has often refrained from taking a clear stance on the issue of the global or regional reach of its legal framework. This situation indirectly fosters a form of digital imperialism and provokes tension with many digital stakeholders who have adopted an American perspective on freedom of expression. Such a situation could potentially have disastrous consequences for the future of the internet. This chapter explores the causes of this conflict and suggests possible directions for solutions, highlighting the need to redefine the protection of online freedom of expression.
