&gt; Aligning public and private incentives through platform data sharing, increased competition, data portability, accountable cross-platform codes of conduct, and risk-mitigation efforts.<p>With such initiative the net will become vastly less free and content more controlled. It is the only theme digital policies out of Germany were able to deliver the last years. Sad, but I don&#x27;t see Germany becoming a relevant country for digital services. And no, privacy protections mentioned in the constitution (basic law) aren&#x27;t relevant. The US has the same problem to a degree, you can just ignore protections for national security.<p>As a German I would like to strengthen transatlantic corporation but the US should lead with their principles of freedom, not Germany with their principles of being afraid.
