Innovation: Europe at the Crossroads
summary
Argues that EU policy treats internet services like legacy telecoms and broadcasting despite being as different as cars and trains, urging separate but equal regulation within service types rather than one-size-fits-all. Cites Facebook’s solar-powered drones and live-streaming that let anyone be a broadcaster, warns last-minute GDPR change to age 16 shows opaque trialogue failures, and pushes for a true digital single market — e.g. a single e-money license — to give startups continent-wide scale. Platforms scramble to moderate hate and terrorism content.
