The US's restrictions on speech are indeed less stringent than in Germany.

However representatives could make a law that says communication platforms deemed to be significant parts of political communication need to not control the conversation.

The mood is going entirely in the other direction in Europe though, i.e. they want platforms to police speech even more. That's certainly true in Germany, also in France, and I'm sure other European countries.

There is no equivalent to the US when it comes to freedom of speech.

We agree with each other. I think you may have accidentally misread the comment you're replying to.
Yes, it was not clear which representatives you were talking about.
Ah sorry, I should have specified House of Representatives
