In E64 of Localogy’s This Week in Local podcast, co-hosts Mike Boland and Charles Laughlin talk about some legal and regulatory actions that Big Tech faces, both domestically and abroad.
The first involves the recently activated Digital Marketing Act in the European Union. Apple, Alphabet, and Meta face the potential of massive fines as regulators seek to show that the DMA, designed to protect smaller European players from being crushed by American Big Tech companies, has real teeth.
The analysts also discuss the merits, or lack thereof, of the U.S. Justice Department’s recent antitrust suit charging Apple with essentially maintaining a smartphone monopoly.
Tune in for a fast and lively discussion of these developments. Do the analysts think the regulatory tide is turning against Big Tech? Or are these mere trophy-hunting exercises that Apple, Google, etc. will use their ample resources and influence to brush aside?
