The EU is increasingly imposing digital fines based on firms’ global turnover rather than local revenue—a structure that disproportionately targets large U.S. technology companies. As other countries adopt similar regulatory models, Washington must push back before the European playbook becomes the global standard.

The EU’s repair policy framework, alongside similar measures in other jurisdictions, is creating a fragmented and increasingly complex compliance landscape that disproportionately burdens American tech firms. U.S. policymakers should push for international standards that reflect diverse business models rather than defaulting to the EU’s hardware-centric approach.

Fifty-four members of Congress told Korea’s ambassador earlier this week: Stop targeting American tech companies—or risk the U.S.-Korea alliance itself.

Korea is unlocking high-quality data for AI but undermining that goal with a domestic server requirement that cuts developers off from global infrastructure. Targeted safeguards would do the job without the competitive cost.

The EU's antitrust case against Meta's WhatsApp AI integration would force the company to either compromise platform security or abandon AI features altogether, handing China a competitive advantage at the worst possible moment.
