Abstract
Description
Washington starts curbing the enormous economic power of Big Tech. In the government’s arsenal: a package of new bills introduced in the US House of Representatives.
After years of negotiations, over 130 countries reached an agreement on new global tax rules. The rules apply to most giant companies; Big Tech is not exempt.
A recent ruling by the EU’s top court clarified the responsibility of sharing platforms when copyrighted content is uploaded onto their platforms.
If you thought July and August were going to be quieter months, think again. Our calendar of global digital policy events is packed with upcoming discussions.
