The United States has been a leader in the innovative technology sector. Its light touch policy approach has been key to allowing innovation to flourish and brought benefits to consumers both domestically and internationally.

Increasingly, however, the highly regulatory approach seen in the EU and UK is both formally and informally impacting the approach these leading tech companies must take on issues including speech, privacy, and competition.
