‘Regulatory death spiral’ would be a great name for a metal band.

That’s what White House National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes branded the EU’s first ever DMA fines, levied against Apple and Meta:

“The European Union has fined Meta and Apple – two major American tech companies – hundreds of millions of euros under their discriminatory Digital Markets Act. This novel form of economic extortion will not be tolerated by the United States. Extraterritorial regulations that specifically target and undermine American companies, stifle innovation, and enable censorship will be recognized as barriers to trade and a direct threat to free civil society. The EU’s malicious targeting of American companies and consumers must stop. End the EU’s regulatory death spiral!”
