Breton's confrontational attitude towards tech CEOs was evident through his social media actions, emphasizing direct engagement with figures like Musk and Zuckerburg to address EU regulatory concerns.
Breton's resignation reflects the power struggle in the EU, where backroom politics played a role, leading to concerns about the future of strong tech regulation in his absence.
The upcoming leadership under Henna Virkkunen is expected to be less aggressive compared to Breton, raising questions on the continuity and visibility of EU tech regulations.
Umberto Gambini highlighted that tech giants might view Breton's resignation as a relief, as he advocated for impactful financial penalties and brought attention to the violations of tech companies.
