The European Union’s ambitious plan to
update its pioneering internet rules gained
momentum Tuesday after a key committee
passed measures requiring technology
companies to better police content and
lawmakers prepared to vote on regulations to
rein in Big Tech.
The 27-nation bloc has for the past year been
drafting a sweeping overhaul of regulations for
digital companies, aimed at making sure tech
giants like Google and Facebook, now renamed
Meta, treat rivals fairly and protect users on
their platforms.
