Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Internet was once envisioned as a borderless realm, promising to unify nations into a peaceful global society and empower individuals with unlimited access to knowledge. Supported by Western deregulation, this dream flourished - until recently. The European Union's introduction of strict laws governing privacy, competition, and content moderation marked a turning point that shocked big tech and initiated a wave of regulations worldwide.

In this book, two leading European experts present the reasons behind this seismic shift. They explain how American dominance by a few colossal companies has reshaped our online lives and triggered a movement towards a regulated Internet. This insightful book also offers perspectives on future developments, emphasizing that our collective decisions shape the digital landscape.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the changing landscape of Internet governance and its global implications.
