Liberal democracies struggle most with tech regulation: prof
BNN Bloomberg
Amid calls to regulate fast-developing technologies, a Columbia law professor and author says reigning in big tech has proven challenging for democracies.
“If you look at our economy, our society, our cultural life, our interactions, they are increasingly shaped by technology giants,” Columbia Law School Prof. Anu Bradford told BNN Bloomberg in a Friday television interview.
“At the same time, you see a growing need that is recognized by governments from all around the world that they need to be regulated, but there is no consensus on how we regulate these companies.”
Bradford is the author of Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology, which looks at those themes in detail.
