EU wants Biden to hit tech companies
 

“Deal with the dark forces”

The European Union is leaning on President-elect Joe Biden to stand up to Big Tech and regulate them to stop the “dark forces” of hate speech online.



European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament that shaping new global digital regulation together was paramount.

“This new dawn in America is the moment we’ve been waiting for. This sense of relief ... should not lead us to making any illusions. Trump may be consigned to history in a few hours, but his followers remain.”

Von der Leyen said that while it might not be possible “to completely eliminate any of these dark forces” of the kind of incitement that led to the storming of the US Capitol, hate speech and fake news must not be allowed to circulate freely on the internet.
