    The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) makes Big Tech (like Meta, Google) reveal how they track users, moderate content, and handle disinformation. Most of these companies hate the law and are lobbying against it in Brussels—but except for Twitter (now X), they’re at least trying to follow it for EU users.

    Meanwhile, US politics may push Big Tech to resist these rules more aggressively, especially since they have strong influence over the current US government.

    AI will be the next big tech divide: The US will likely have little regulation, while the EU will take a much stronger approach to regulating. Growing tensions—over trade, military threats, and tech policies—are driving the US and EU apart, and this split will continue for at least four more years.

      I wonder what kind of madness will see appear from fully deregulated USA tech. I bet we’ll see some monstruous human DNA experiments before the end of the 4 years.

    I’d like them to make an example of all the big US tech companies. Fine GAFAM and then use it to make competing opensource products. Oh, how would that be sweet!
