US denounces Europe on speech in pared-down rights report

The U.S. State Department’s annual human rights report, under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, alleges worsening human rights conditions in Western Europe due to internet regulations, particularly in Britain, France, and Germany, while sparing allies like El Salvador. The report also highlights ongoing genocide against the Uyghur people in China, deteriorating rights in Brazil and South Africa, and criticism from former officials and Democrats about its perceived political bias.
