.shoshanazuboff: Europe is fighting back against Big Tech's dominance even as Elon Musk takes over Twitter

Twitter headquarters is seen towering above in San Francisco, Calif., on October 27, 2021.Karl Vick is an Editor at Large based in New York. From 2010 to the autumn of 2014 he was the Jerusalem Bureau Chief, covering Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories with occasional forays into other lands.

known as the Digital Services Act is the second bookend and it points us toward a different future. Mr. Musk no longer faces a free ride in a lawless space. The DSA leads a democratic resurgence that challenges the tech giants’ vision for our future. The democratic rule of law has just landed in our digital information space , and not a moment too soon.

Mark Zuckerberg asserted personal authority over social communications on a global scale. This is intolerable.
