Head of Bundeskartellamt Mundt claims #GDPR favours Big Tech, as it can afford to be compliant, while EU companies cannot. Big Tech can afford to be compliant with GDPR, but did it ever really comply? Even worse, Big Tech can afford not to comply, as it does not have to fear the penalties.

Instead of challenging #GDPR, we need to strengthen its enforcement to create a level playing field. Also, we need complementary structural measures to challenge Big Tech's market power abuse.

I have to say it is deeply worrying to see the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the way it provides privileged access to policy-makers for CEO'S and corporations. The whole town of Davos becomes a corporate disneyland for one week. This is all absurd in times when tech billionaires already have far greater access to governments than ordinary people. Democracy needs the voices of the many, not the few.

German coalition government (social democrats, greens, liberals) has collapsed. On competition legislation, this may mean merger control reform is off the table.

Great discussions on Big Tech power and how to challenge it at yesterday's Netzpolitischer Abend 141. Thanks again to @digiges and @cbase for making this happen! Challenging Big Tech here in Europe becomes ever more important after the US election results.

Banasevic, Morch & now Khan: that the Commission doesn't stop these revolving door cases with high potential for conflicts of interest, damages the reputation & integrity of the EU. Even no transparency on conditions for the job changes. We can really expect more from the European Union.
