Silvia Amaro from cnbc said that LONDON — President-elect Joe Biden and the European Union are “on the same page” when it comes to regulating tech giants, the head of the European Commission told CNBC on Wednesday.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the EU’s executive arm, is confident that the new U.S. president will be an “ally” in fighting disinformation online and stepping up the rules on how tech firms operate.
The 27-member bloc has big ambitions for the new U.S. administration and it was not shy to demonstrate that on Inauguration Day.
“If there’s hate out there, if there’s polarization, fake news, all of these are things that are threats to our democracies and I am sure that we will have an ally to work on that,” von der Leyen said.
