"...the fact that the tech sector has such a powerful role means that it will be highly regulated by society."
I think this reality will arrive hard and fast in the 2020's. The breadth and depth of regulation globally will depend on election outcomes. But it will happen either way. GDPR and CCPA are just a taste of what's to come. We'll see regulation in several key areas including:
- Social media's goal of increased engagement vs mental health.
- Cross border cybersecurity.
- More jurisdictions adopting GDPR/CCPA-like privacy laws.
- Cloud providers (consumer in particular) and vendor lock-in vs portability.
Some is already happening, but expect to see a ramp up. Don't interpret this as me being pro/anti regulation. Just a reality that's coming IMO.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoOMG yes. I find it funny that there’re still so many CEOs that I speak to and they are constantly pushing the idea that tech should not be regulated. Even if you’re right, there’s probably not a single politician out there who wouldn’t use that as a way to build their career on.
