EU Escalates Digital Safety & Antitrust Enforcement Against Big Tech

The European Commission has significantly escalated its enforcement of digital safety and antitrust regulations, confirmed by formal investigations and warnings to TikTok regarding child safety and privacy, and substantial fines against Google for anti-competitive practices. This aggressive regulatory posture is generating trade tensions with the US, which views these actions as targeting American technology firms. The EU has also re-established a temporary legal framework for CSAM detection, balancing child safety with privacy concerns.
