he FCC chairman said Europe's regulations against US firms are "excessive" and "incompatible" with American values.

What values? Greed?
There are some extremely greedy Europeans no doubt. But the most of us pursue a happy life instead of a rich life.

He believes that these laws (...) are suppressing free speech in the EU.

These laws are there because companies feast on them illegally. Is this dude fit being the chairman of the FCC if he can't get that right?

It remains to be seen how the US administration will choose to defend Big Tech against the numerous lawsuits in the EU.

They can do exactly one thing: Nothing. The judicial branch of the EU is completely independent from the other branches, unlike the SCOTUS. Our judges don't care about what nonsense Trump is spouting.

What values? Greed?

Apparently, USA values run afoul of the "Western values" and "European values" I hear so widely touted by those people with Roman statue profile pictures.

Edit: /s
