In fact, the development of modern science and technology industry has come to a key node, more stringent global regulation is inevitable. < / P > < p > now, technology giants have increasingly become the key infrastructure for millions of people and enterprises around the world, which are used for communication, shopping, understanding the world and leisure entertainment. Now, the technology industry is no longer a start-up company full of vitality and dreams of changing the world, but more and more similar to the size and status of traditional industries such as banking and communications, which also needs more government supervision. < / P > < p > "the irresponsible behavior of the technology giants during the 2016 and 2020 elections has aroused people's attention to the change of power, which has led to their < a target ="_ blank" href=" https://news.163.com/news/search?keyword=%E5%8F%8D%E5%9E%84%E6%96%AD "> investigation of anti-monopoly < / a > behavior. The wind has changed. " James Lewis, senior vice president of the center for strategic and international studies, a think tank in the United States, said in an interview with surging journalists. < / P > < p > the EU has always been the leading region in the regulation of science and technology industry, and the recent introduction of two regulatory legislation may change the rules of the industry game. In the United States, regulators began to start with the illegal cooperation between Google and Facebook in the field of advertising. In addition, Australia, India, Brazil and other countries have begun to discuss new regulations on the regulation of technology companies. < / P > < p > "in recent ten years, with the rapid development of Internet mobile terminal, the cases caused by it will certainly surge in recent years." President of the school of law and politics of Zhejiang University of technology and President of the Competition Law Research Association of Zhejiang law society < a target = "_ blank" href=" https://news.163.com/news/search?keyword=%E7%8E%8B%E5%81%A5 "> Wang Jian < / a > told surging news reporters. < / P > < p > < strong > is EU regulation too strict? < / strong > < / P > < p > on December 15, 2020, the European Commission, the executive body of the European Union, issued two new legislative proposals that will affect the operation of large technology companies, namely, a digital services bill for illegal content and a digital market bill for anti competitive behavior. < / P > < p > the move is aimed at weakening the power of "gatekeeper" platforms such as Amazon, apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft. EU policy makers believe that, given their huge influence, these technology companies need more oversight. The proposed EU bill will require technology companies to do more to stop the spread of hate speech and counterfeit goods, and disclose more information about how services such as targeted advertising work. < / P > < p > similarly, the UK, which has withdrawn from the EU, has said it is promoting similar legislation known as "online harm", requiring social media companies and search engines to take measures to prevent all kinds of illegal or harmful information from spreading on the platform, otherwise it will face a fine of up to 10% of the global annual income. In addition, Irish regulators also announced a 450000 euro (about 547000 US dollars) fine on twitter for violating EU data protection regulations, the first such fine. < / P > < p > there are different paths and purposes in the supervision of companies between Europe and the United States. Europe has been at the forefront of the regulation of technology companies, implementing the most stringent regulation in the world. There is a view that the EU's strict regulation of US technology giants is also aimed at protecting local enterprises. < / P > < p > "Europe uses antitrust to protect business too often, while the United States is usually too weak in law enforcement." Lewis commented. < p > < p > "excessive regulation of EU technology killed the industry. There are also disputes within the EU over how to regulate it. Some people want old-fashioned industrial policy and strict regulation, others realize they need different things. " On whether the EU bill is too strict this time, Lewis told surging journalists that "the digital services act and the digital market act are a compromise. I think they are the beginning, not the end, of a longer discussion. Everyone is uneasy about the power of technology giants, so strengthening regulation is inevitable, but the EU must also consider economic growth. " < / P > < p > Wang Jian, Dean of the school of law and political science of Zhejiang University of technology and President of the Competition Law Research Association of Zhejiang law society, said: "the EU's legislation on digital economy has always been relatively strict, because it is very different from the United States. So far, there has been a lack of Internet giants in the EU, that is, the US internet companies basically have no rivals in Europe. So in the final analysis, the EU bill is to a large extent to fight against American enterprises and protect the interests of EU enterprises and consumers. " < / P > < p > < strong > can EU legislation test the relationship between Europe and the United States? < / strong > < / P > < p > the two bills need to be debated in Parliament before they are formally passed, so many people expect that there may be years of negotiation and tug of war in the future. < / P > < p > lobbying spending in the technology industry has been unprecedented. Despite the strong political momentum of the EU's new rules, several stages of the negotiations could make parliamentary debates difficult. Previously, the EU's privacy protection regulation, the General Data Protection Act (gdpr), had been debated for four years before it was officially passed. Every bill must be approved by the European Council and the European Parliament before it becomes law. < / P > < p > however, Wang Jian still believes that there is a great chance that the EU proposal will be passed in the end. < / P > < p > "it is very likely that the bill will be passed at last. The European Union has fully deliberated on this issue. Before the bill is passed, they are actually doing relevant research. It is a compromise product in itself." < p > < p > Lewis once said that the debate on the two EU legislations will be a big test for the relationship between the United States and the EU. < / P > < p > during the trump administration, the relationship between the United States and the European Union was tense on issues such as digital tax. The Internet association, an industry organization representing large US technology companies, has complained to Washington officials about the new EU rules. < / P > < p > senior EU members said that the challenge of the new regulation meeting is to transform the objectives of the regulations into strong enforcement, while the current EU has some deficiencies in the implementation of policies.
