La pressione degli Stati Uniti rilancia la richiesta di un potente regolatore tecnologico dell’UE

>“The enforcement is not happening because there’s too much pressure from the Trump administration,” said Alexandra Geese, a German Greens European Parliament lawmaker who negotiated the EU’s platform law, the Digital Services Act.

>“Delegating digital enforcement to an independent body would strengthen the EU’s bargaining position against the U.S.,” Mario Mariniello, a non-resident fellow at think tank Bruegel, argued in a September piece on how the Commission could protect itself against blackmail.

>“It’s so political, there’s no real enforcement, there’s no independent enforcement, independent from politics,” Geese said.

>Having a single powerful digital authority could address the fragmented enforcement carried out by several authorities under different EU rulebooks, according to Geese.

>“It’s absolutely true that the rulebooks are scattered, that enforcement is scattered [and] that it would be easier to have one agency,” Geese said.

>“It would have made sense … to do that right away [when the laws were being drafted], as an independent agency, a little bit out of the realm of day-to-day politics,” she added.

>“Europe urgently needs a single digital enforcement agency to provide legal certainty and ensure EU laws work consistently across the Union,” said German Greens European Parliament lawmaker Sergey Lagodinsky, who added that the current enforcement landscape is “siloed, with weak coordination.”

>“It’s so political, there’s no real enforcement, there’s no independent enforcement, independent from politics,” Geese said.

That’s nothing new for the past decade. That’s what happens without European alternatives. China built alternatives to all US Big Tech; Europe could too.
