Vestager is using the bully pulpit of an EU commissioner to further her political ambitions and it is already starting to grate on her allies in the EU. She is beginning to significantly overstep her bounds and is risking a powerful backlash. Right now, everyone is blaming big tech for all the world's ills, and she is jumping on the bandwagon.
