Bridging the Atlantic: Tech's True Impact on Elections & the US-EU Regulatory Divide

Mark Scott on covering tech as a journalist, being a newsletter writer and what people outside of America think about this election

We have another bonus podcast episode for you. One perspective I wanted to get for this season of the podcast is what people outside of the United States think about the election and this country’s overall approach to tech.

There’s no one better to ask that question of than Mark Scott. Mark has covered tech as a journalist and now works at the Atlantic Council studying tech’s impact on our information ecosystem. He also writes a weekly newsletter called Digital Politics that is one of my must-reads.

In this conversation, Mark discusses his transition from journalism to a policy role at the Atlantic Council, focusing on digital policy and regulation in the EU and US. He reflects on the regulatory landscape, the challenges tech companies face, and the importance of effective enforcement. He also shares insights on the role of technology in elections, the impact of AI, and the need for cooperation between the US and Europe in addressing digital challenges.

Please support the curation and analysis I’m doing with this newsletter. As a paid subscriber, you make it possible for me to bring you in-depth analyses of the most pressing issues in tech and politics.
