This book explores the use of EU law by Big Tech in the transatlantic context. Elaine Fahey examines how digital platforms utilise both top-down and bottom-up approaches to litigate, lobby and lawyer global standards, analysing their attempts to strategically exploit the legislation.



Drawing on detailed case studies, chapters cover aspects of EU law ranging from data transfer and data protection to intermediary liability and competition law. They critically assess Big Tech’s direct engagement with consumers and its relationship with the EU as a global digital actor, outlining the state of many sectoral battles it has waged with European regulators and courts. Fahey considers how Europe’s initial first mover advantage on data regulation is used in practice, emphasizing the transnational dimension of data while investigating Big Tech’s efforts to take advantage of this. Ultimately, the book underscores the importance of adopting a holistic approach to the legal challenges posed by Big Tech in a globalised world.



This book will appeal to students and scholars of international law, EU law and policy, regulation and governance, political science and international relations. It is also a useful resource for transatlantic policymakers, regulators and entrepreneurs in both the EU and the US.

Recenzijas

Elaine Faheys timely and insightful book illuminates the transatlantic evolution of lobbying in the EU by focusing on the strategies employed by Big Tech firms. By adopting what Fahey terms a non-court-centric perspective on EU law, this study makes a valuable contribution to the legal scholarship on lobbying in the EU. It also offers a compelling comparison of lobbying practices and trends on both sides of the Atlantic. Faheys fascinating book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in Big Techs influence and the global reach of EU law, particularly in the transatlantic context. -- Odile Ammann, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Fahey has taken on a timely and understudied dimension of transatlantic relations the interaction of US Big Tech with European Union law. As the Trump Administration prepares to push back against iconic EU digital legislation including the Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, and General Data Protection Regulation, this study of the intricate dynamics between Brussels and Washington over tech law and policy will stand as a valuable primer. -- Kenneth Propp, Georgetown University Law Center, USA Elaine Faheys book certainly doesnt take the easy path. She tackles the massive industry known as Big Tech and presents an ambitious synthesis of not just one or two key strategies, but all three - lawyering, litigation, and lobbying - that Big Tech employs when it engages with EU law, its institutions, Member States, and consumers. By analysing these three models of engagement in the transatlantic space, Faheys important book succeeds in presenting a truly rich and multi-layered account of its subject matter. -- Emilia Korkea-aho, University of Eastern Finland
