Critics say EU risks ceding control of its tech laws under U.S. pressure (politico.eu)

EU lawmakers criticized the European Commission for exploring a new EU-U.S. “dialogue” on enforcing the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act, arguing it could undermine the bloc’s control of its tech rules. Critics say involving U.S. officials would create a back door for Washington and risk turning enforcement into leverage in broader trade talks. The Commission said the EU rulebook is “not up for negotiation,” but opponents urged clarity and, if needed, steps to counter U.S. coercion.
