Big Tech vs Regulators: A Long-Term Global Trend

Working Paper 71 / 2022

Over the past few years, government efforts to regulate tech giants around the world have marked global long-term trends. The authors of this working paper take a closer look at recent key changes in Big Tech regulation both at the international level and in individual jurisdictions of the EU, USA, China and Russia, examining the different ways in which governments have tried to strike a regulatory balance between freedom and security, as well as between digital ecosystem development and healthy competition. This paper also includes an analysis of Big Tech’s response to regulatory pressure and discusses the potential options available to develop universal international norms and rules for the industry.
