The Need for Regulation and its Purpose

Regulation is essential to establish a level playing field and ensure the protection of individuals from the power of both technology companies and governments. It is not intended to solely impede companies or stifle innovation but rather to safeguard public health, safety, and the common good. Regulations such as antitrust and competition laws assist in preventing the abuse of market power. The EU has implemented significant regulations in areas like data protection, which aims to safeguard individuals' data rights. The Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act specifically address content moderation, trust, disinformation, and the market power concerns posed by tech giants.
