Event Description

As the European Union pushes for stricter enforcement of the bloc’s social media regulation, the United States, backed by powerful tech giants, moves to dismantle those efforts. This growing transatlantic divide on matters of digital policy — which some dub a “digital cold war” — raises critical questions about the future of our online lives and the institutions that underpin them. The outcome will influence how we safeguard democracy, protect free expression, tackle misinformation, and foster innovation.
