The spread of fast-follower regulations modeled after the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the United Kingdom’s Digital Markets, Competition, and Consumers Act (DMCC) reinforces the “Brussels Effect,” which ITIF has argued constitutes a form of digital imperialism that hinders innovation in the Global South.

It looks like the US saying “play with my toys,” without saying “so we can get your money and sell you.”

    Given this info in their About:

    As technological innovation transforms economies and societies, policymakers often lack the specialized knowledge to objectively analyze and respond to fast-moving issues and circumstances—particularly when the innovation disrupts incumbents or sparks fears and organized pressure limits progress or change. What should policymakers do to spur innovation, overcome challenges, and avoid potential pitfalls? The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) exists to provide answers and point the way forward.

    Founded in 2006, ITIF is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit , nonpartisan research and educational institute that has been recognized repeatedly as the world’s leading think tank for science and technology policy. Its supporters include corporations, charitable foundations , and individual contributors, and it has repeatedly earned a seal of transparency from Candid and three stars from Charity Navigator.

    I agree.

    From the first principles:

    We have a considered faith in markets and businesses of all sizes. ITIF believes innovation and economic growth is usually maximized when for-profit businesses, including large corporations, are allowed to compete with relatively few restrictions .
