Procore signs multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with AWS
Investing.com -- The European Union pushed back on Monday against U.S. criticism of its landmark tech regulations, stating that these rules are not subject to ongoing trade negotiations between the two powers.
EU spokesperson Thomas Regnier made it clear during a daily news conference that the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) "will not be changed" and are "not on the table in the trade negotiations with the U.S."
The DSA requires large online platforms to take more aggressive action against illegal and harmful content. These regulations have faced criticism from the U.S. administration, which claims they unfairly target American technology companies.
Regnier emphasized that the EU would not accept interference from foreign governments regarding how it enforces these landmark rules, which come with substantial financial penalties for non-compliance.
"We are not going to adjust the implementation of our legislation based on the actions of third countries. If we started to do that, then we would have to do it with numerous third countries," Regnier stated.
