According to leaked internal Google documents, the company has launched a 60-day strategy aimed at countering the EU’s new regulations for strict technology industry supervision. The specific method is to make its US “ally” boycott the EU’s internal market commissioner. Thierry Breton (Thierry Breton), and clarified the cost of the new regulations.
The European Commission will announce a new regulation called the “Digital Services Act” (DSA) on December 2. It will then need to be coordinated with the proposals of EU countries and the European Parliament before it can become legislation. American technology giants have launched fierce lobbying for this, and even some European technology companies are worried that this will affect their business models.
The leaked documents stated that the goal of Google’s strategy is to “eliminate unreasonable restrictions on our business model and our ability to improve products or launch new features/services from the European Commission’s proposal.”
Google said in response that the new regulations should take into account that the requirements of individuals and companies on technology companies are increasing, rather than decreasing. Karan Bhatia, the company’s vice president of global government affairs and public policy, said: “As we have clearly stated in our public and private communications, we are concerned that certain proposals in the bill will make global technology companies It is difficult to meet the increasing demands of European users and enterprises.”
The document recommends that Google’s US “allies” increase their resistance to Breton by contacting the US government and embassy to convey information that the new regulations will threaten relations across the Atlantic. In addition, the document also proposes to take advantage of the potential concerns of the European Commission’s competition department, claiming that the “Digital Services Act” will threaten the authority of the department.
Another part of Google’s strategy is to clarify the costs that consumers and businesses need to bear. At the same time, the 18-page document also proposes to recruit EU countries and European online companies as “allies.”
