The US is moving rapidly away from EU towards Asia. EU acts like they are driving this.

Asia will ignore US deals, especially on social media. Look at Australia are even more hawkish than EU. Japan and South Korea are more culturally close to China when it comes to social harmony and the will probably follow suit when it comes to be strict on social media even if they allow US media it will be by much stricter rules than US.
Japan and China go together like Nazi Germany and Israel
Japan is also already in the world's largest free trade agreement with the EU[0] and in a joint development program for a next generation fighter plane with Italy and the UK[1].

The US has squandered a massive amount of goodwill since the first Trump presidency.
