I doubt it. They could just sensor based on location.
Comment on FTC investigates “tech censorship,” says it’s un-American and may be illegal

If we wind up in a situation where the EU mandates a form of censorship that the US bans, I assume that the platforms in question would have to separate their EU and US users and sites.

It should be interesting to see how it plays out, indeed.
I don’t expect the US will entirely ban all forms of content moderation. I wouldn’t be surprised if the US moved more in the direction of the EU Digital Services Act: required transparency on recommendation algorithms and some sort of NGO trusted flagger system.
Also, similar (but opposite) to Splinternet: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

It’s not censorship, it’s “censorship”. You know, like banning nazis, calls for harming women etc.

Generally speaking, when a much stronger party forces upon you a mechanism, it doesn’t work in your favor. Whether they call it free speech (for bot campaigns too, while you get banned) or moderation (your opponent insults you in every comment, and they are fine, but you insult them once - you’re banned).
The super weirdest thing is that people again and again believe that the strong party belonging to “their” side will do things right this time in history.
