Companies in the EU need to understand not just the law but the political and geopolitical context of tech regulation, our CEO Justin Sherman tells The Drum. “The Commission's preliminary findings against X make sense when you look at both the letter of the law in the EU as well as the rapid decline in X’s transparency, advertising and content moderation practices in the last several months,” says Justin Sherman, founder and CEO of research and advisory firm Global Cyber Strategies. … Ultimately, we’re still in the early days of enforcement action for the DSA and for its sister legislation, the Digital Markets Act, Sherman says, “making it all the more important for global companies to not just understand the law but [also] the regulatory culture, thinking and context in the EU” today. #technology #policy #geopolitics
