Report: EU Commission wants to involve US more closely in tech regulation - Lemmy.zip

cross-posted from : https://lemmy.zip/post/61888662 [https://lemmy.zip/post/61888662] > MEPs have sharply criticized the plan. “Our fear is that the implementation of our laws and standards will be called into question by American companies,” criticizes Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, for example. “If this is confirmed, it would be nothing less than a capitulation to the pressure and intimidation tactics of the Trump administration.” The EU Commission repeatedly emphasizes that it does not want to change its regulations due to US pressure. However, some of the recently proposed changes in digital legislation, particularly to the AI Act and the General Data Protection Regulation, primarily benefit US companies that are already dominant in the market.

This to me seems just a setup to have a good excuse later on when implementing Draconian surveillance measures.
