Tech giants in the US are preparing to operate under significant new regulation, to be ushered in by the Joe Biden administration. As the President announces quick-fire orders to tackle climate change, COVID-19 and inequality, we can expect to see a raft of changes soon that protect data privacy. More than the matter of privacy – the issue closest to my heart – we can expect platforms like Facebook to be made liable for the content it shares – in a radical break from the very foundation of the social media business model. This means they will be held accountable in the same way media publishers are for the veracity and impact of the information they share. What’s more, tech giants will be broken up, to reduce their power.
