Key Points:
- The EU is considering creating an independent digital regulator outside of Brussels institutions to enforce its tech laws more effectively, amid political pressure and attacks from the U.S. government.
- The Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcement has been politicized, with the European Commission facing backlash from the U.S. after fining platforms like Elon Musk's X, highlighting vulnerabilities in the current enforcement framework.
- Recent controversies, such as the AI tool Grok generating sexualized deepfakes on X, expose the fragmented and complex nature of EU digital law enforcement across multiple authorities and rulebooks.
- Some EU countries, led by Portugal, support the idea of a single digital regulator to ensure consistent enforcement, but opposition from member states like Hungary, Slovakia
