Summary

Taming Titans: A Policy Toolkit for Regulating Big Tech

Critics Review

Societies have finally woken up to the threat to democracy posed by the dominance of a small number of tech companies. But to date, the legal and legislative responses to the threat have been disjointed, unimaginative, and in some cases almost incoherent. The shortage of good ideas for bringing digital technology under effective democratic control is palpable and worrying. By assembling a formidable group of thinkers on these questions, Tambini and Moore have not only created the kind of brain trust liberal democracies need at this critical time, but also a primer for policymakers everywhere. * John Naughton, Cambridge University and Observer columnist *The threat to democracy posed by the concentration of power in digital media markets is one of the great challenges of our time. Regulating Big Tech has assembled ideas for change from some of the best thinkers in the world. It is essential reading for anyone wrestling with the topic. * Ben Scott, Executive Director, Reset *
