Digital deregulation is only the visible part of a much larger problem: attacks on European state power, warn academics Lola Avril and Céleste Bonnamy in an op-ed.
If a company refuses to follow the law, then fine them every day, perpetually. With increasing severity.
What if the company is huge, you depend on it heavily, and it also has the explicit support of a poweful, belligerent nation?
Make the fine proportional to the companies size.
Fuck them even harder. If the EU won’t do it, nobody will.
You know it’s bad when Brazil forces companies to comply better than you.
Not surprising. Deregulation is an important part of the Draghi report that aims to make Europe more competitive and is the spine of the current Commission’s agenda.
Draghi report was quite surprising to Eastern Europe in general since many of the stats presented didn’t include Eastern Europe at all, which is quite deregulated already. Can’t wait for our politicians to enact deregulatory Mad Max.
If American companies don’t want to comply with EU law they should look for other markets. I can perfectly live without meta and x.
I hate it when THEY bend OUR knees.
