Will the European Parliament's swing to the right slow tech regulation? The European Parliament elections last weekend saw major gains for far-right parties, which could have significant implications for tech policy and regulation in the EU...and around the globe. As they tend to pull the regulatory lever quicker than the innovate, the EU has rolled out some of the strictest tech regulations over the last several years, like the Digital Services Act on content moderation, the Digital Markets Act targeting anti-competitive practices, and the AI Act governing artificial intelligence, many of which target big tech in the US. With more far-right lawmakers in Parliament, there could be a trend toward lighter enforcement of existing tech rules that some view more as falling within the censorship bucket of regulation. As we've seen with the more conservative, business-friendly movement, there's also a broader push to slow-roll new tech regulations and instead attempt to bolster Europe's tech industry. The incoming center-right and far-right majority will likely be more receptive to this argument of prioritizing innovation over continued regulation. The shifting power dynamics in the #European #Parliament could significantly impact the trajectory of tech policy and #transatlantic cooperation in this sector and potentially lead to a regulatory ceasefire making the revival of something resembling a transatlantic #digital alliance a bit more plausible...and we will all be watching closely as #AI, #privacy, #contentmoderation, and #competition continue to be debated stateside.
