Today, EU Competition Commissioner Teresa Ribera meets Big Tech CEOs in Silicon Valley: Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai. Time to remind the tech oligarchs the EU will remain steadfast in enforcing competition rules, from the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to ongoing cases like Google/Adtech. The attempts of tech companies trying to undermine our rules must end.

Head of Bundeskartellamt Mundt claims #GDPR favours Big Tech, as it can afford to be compliant, while EU companies cannot. Big Tech can afford to be compliant with GDPR, but did it ever really comply? Even worse, Big Tech can afford not to comply, as it does not have to fear the penalties.
Instead of challenging #GDPR, we need to strengthen its enforcement to create a level playing field. Also, we need complementary structural measures to challenge Big Tech's market power abuse.
