EU's tech laws like DSA & DMA are at risk of becoming bargaining chips in US-EU trade tensions.

Our co-chair @sveawindwehr analyzes why enforcement of digital regulation must remain separate from trade negotiations. These laws reflect democratic choices about platform accountability. Trading them away could undermine the EU's long-term credibility. Digital rights shouldn't be subject to trade pressure.

The European Digital Fairness Act proposals risk over-regulating the digital space. Many tech companies are already investing in privacy, transparency, and security— Adding more layers could stifle innovation without clear benefits to consumers. #DigitalPolicy #Innovation #EU #TechRegulation #DigitalEconomy

The Brussels #AI #lobbying circus is in full swing and I fear that at least parts of the @EUCommission have already fully signed up the AI hype.

Breton’s resignation could mark a new chapter for EU digital policy https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/bretons-resignation-could-mark-a-new-chapter-for-eu-digital-policy/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #DGCNECT #digitalpolicy #HennaVirkkunen #MagnusBrunner #singlemarket

Commissioner Thierry #Breton has resigned from the @EUCommission and will not run again. Sounds like he is pretty pissed.

I am very curious to see where that will leave #DSA and #DMA enforcement.
