In the West, what happens when global tech giants clash with powerful government regulators? Are these fines just symbolic gestures, or do they signal a real shift in how Big Tech will be held accountable? In this eye-opening discussion, we’ll unpack the recent $700 million fines imposed by the EU on Apple and Meta, what led to these penalties, and what it all means in the broader context of digital markets, innovation, and consumer rights. We’ll also explore the impact of the new Digital Markets Act and what it reveals about the future of tech regulation in Europe and beyond.

Whether you're a startup founder, a policy nerd, or just want to understand the headlines, come join the conversation as we break down a major moment in global tech history and discuss what it means for the digital world we all live in.
