Episode description

The incoming Trump presidency is changing the rules of the game for big tech compliance with digital EU regulation. Meta axed its fact-checking team in the United States, while Google did similarly in the EU. On X, Musk now wields the platform as a political megaphone.

The potential political ramifications – particularly in terms of misinformation and political interference – are hard to gauge. What tools does the world’s most powerful regulatory force have to shield online users from harm?

In this episode, host Giada Santana and tech reporter Anupriya Datta discuss X and Meta's latest developments and whether the DSA can hold them accountable.
