So many global storylines are converging. The EU issues its first fines for Big Tech under the DMA in April, shortly after tariffs are announced. Tariffs give Trump leverage over Big Tech at home, and leverage over the EU abroad. The fines levied by the EU give him additional leverage over Big Tech because he can use his leverage over the EU to eliminate them for Big Tech. I am now negatively polarized against the DMA because it is further entangling Big Tech with the administration at home.
