A coalition of 39 NGOs has urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to uphold the EU's tech regulations and resist pressure from tech billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They warn that the tech giants are trying to undermine investigations into companies like Meta and Google, potentially weakening the enforcement of the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act. The letter argues that strong regulations are crucial for maintaining a fair and competitive digital market in Europe, and that any retreat from enforcement could exacerbate existing inequalities.
Big tech leaders are seeking to mobilize the Trump administration to protect their ability to exploit users and businesses while stifling potential competitors.
The letter emphasized that reintroducing contestability, fairness, and choice in the digital market is a difficult task that requires strong enforcement.
