Data and Privacy: Leveling the Playing Field in Europe
summary
Google and Facebook together capture about 85% of mobile ad revenue and Google exceeds 80% search share in parts of Europe, but European hubs produce many billion-euro firms that rarely scale to $50–100B. Venture funding for European e-commerce jumps from under $1B to roughly $15B (2012–2015), Safe Harbor falls and Privacy Shield replaces it, regulation and encryption debates continue, and the solution centers on building a true digital single market and stronger growth ecosystems rather than blaming outsiders.
