How the US is Taking Cues From Europe on Tech Policy

Europe is leading the way, marking a notable shift in the setting of global standards, as Congress and US regulators slowly figure out how America could regulate the digital economy.

However, despite all of its posturing and hearings with high-level tech executives, Congress has failed to act on new legislation for the tech industry. Meanwhile, Europe has forged ahead with comprehensive regulations.
