EU hails Biden's 'new dawn' but wants tough tech rules
EU demands more censorship on speech. Inculding on Hate Speech and fake news.

"This new dawn in America is the moment we've been waiting for," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. But she also cautioned: "This sense of relief ... should not lead us to making any illusions. Trump may be consigned to history in a few hours, but his followers remain."

European Council President Charles Michel, who chairs EU summits in Brussels, said transatlantic priorities should also include combating COVID-19 and climate change.

"Together, we must stand as the bedrock of the rules-based international order, working for peace, security, prosperity, freedom, human rights and gender equity," Michel said. "Let's build a new founding pact for a stronger Europe, for a stronger America and for a better world," he told EU lawmakers.
