How has Facebook fared during and after the US elections? What does a 45% rise in aggressive content on the platform mean and will it change? Amazon has been officially charged with anti competitive behaviour and antitrust violations due to using data on its third party merchants, it has conceded to this being possible however denies wrongdoing. In a completely unprecedented event, Beijing is drafting measures that would curb the power of its Big Tech giants and allow more control by the government. What does this mean for its monopolies and how they work? Last but not least, we looked at EU's new budget and especially on the Digital Europe Programme that has highlighted the need to develop Europe's technological sovereignty and boost digitalisation in our sectors - what do we think and what we need to keep an eye on?
