The EU's Tech Regulation Paradox Grows Harder to Ignore

Original: The EU’s Tech Regulation Paradox is Getting Harder to Ignore

Commentary is highlighting a growing contradiction in the European Union's approach to regulating technology: rules designed to curb the power of big digital companies are widely seen as imposing compliance burdens that smaller firms and startups struggle to absorb, while enforcement of flagship laws like the Digital Markets Act and AI Act remains slow. Observers argue the EU shapes global standards yet risks falling behind in innovation itself.

Why now: Debate is intensifying over whether EU tech rules protect competition or entrench the very giants they target.
