Ireland's media regulator is ready for billion-euro fines on Big Tech despite transatlantic Trump tension
Briefly

The Commissioner for Digital Services at Coimisiún na Meán has announced a proactive approach in enforcing European regulations as tensions grow between Europe and the US regarding technology governance. With powers comparable to those of the Data Protection Commission, which has already levied over €4 billion in fines against large tech firms in the past four years, Coimisiún na Meán is poised to play a critical role in regulating digital services and ensuring compliance with European laws, signaling a turning point in tech regulation in Ireland and Europe.
The Commissioner for digital services at Coimisiún na Meán emphasizes that European regulations will be strictly enforced, especially amid rising transatlantic tensions over technology governance.
Coimisiún na Meán's newfound authority mirrors that of the Data Protection Commission, which has imposed significant financial penalties on major tech companies in recent years.
