Abstract

Momentum for regulating Big Tech is growing across the world. The European Union has been leading this fight for the past decade, frequently leveraging its antitrust laws, data protection laws, and other regulatory instruments to reclaim control over the industry. But the EU is no longer the lone crusader prepared to take on the tech giants. The Chinese government has initiated an unprecedented crackdown on its tech sector in the name of advancing "common prosperity" and ensuring that its tech giants do not overpower the state. The tide may now finally be turning even in the United States, where Congress is reassessing the need to re-write US antitrust laws, enact a federal privacy law, or revisit its absolutist stance on free speech online.
