Why the EU should lead against US Tech giants
- latexr 8y ago> The EU itself has shown itself to be, with the introduction of the GDPR and related regulation of the IT sector, a champion for EU business, privacy and security. It has also weakened Net Neutrality laws, introduced VAT laws that complicated the life of small businesses, and just passed harmful copyright directives. So what the EU has shown itself to be is an organisation that is not the champion of the internet we once thought, and that big money and computer illiterate MPs can still do a great deal of harm. At this point I’m more inclined to believe the good laws the EU as passed (e.g. GDPR) were flukes.
