Charting a Vision of Progress for European Tech Policy | by Kay Jebelli | Chamber of Progress | Apr, 2024 | Medium

> When it comes to tech policy, it seems that there are two increasingly diverging interpretations of today’s world. On the one hand, we are told that technology is challenging our economy, our democracy, our very humanity.



We are told that large digital monopolies have stifled innovation and progress, that these platforms are incentivised to spread hate and challenge authority, and that technology is changing our society in dramatic and scary ways that necessitate extreme precaution.



We are told that we are victims, that we have lost control, and that we need to give more power and discretion to an ever bigger government to protect us from present and future harm.



In my view, the truth is very different.
