CAVOKEurope Is Breaking Open the Empires of Big Tech
JeenaI think Europe can’t compete with the US tech firms because of many reasons so that is why they are doing it.
Not the monopolies they hold over the tech industry.
Or the fact they simultaneously hold more wealth than a small country, yet pay miniscule amounts of tax.
Or the detriment to society they influence, both directly and indirectly.
Or the fact they’re intrusive ways to scrape our lives, and selling that data to thousands of “partners”.
No no… Apparently it’s jealousy that’s driving the EU, rather than making them accountable.
Does the DMA actually do anything about that, except weakening monopolies?
Why would/should it? It serves a specific purpose, just like the GDPR serves a specific purpose and covers another of OPs points.
It’s the topic of the thread, so I thought… FWIW I’m not sure that the GDPR really does what people hope, but that’s a different topic.
The GDPR does more than any other regulation out there. The world is definitely better for it. Could we do more? Sure, and the DSA is an attempt at that. Could we do it even better? Of course. We pay the bureaucrats in Brussels for a reason, they will come up with something.
