the European Parliament

Four stories in 2025Q4 marked a return to Parliament-focused coverage centered on platform liability, child-safety rules and EU regulatory autonomy.

Who they are

The European Parliament appears in this coverage as an EU lawmaking institution and a principal arena for technology-policy disputes, from platform governance and privacy to copyright, crypto and artificial intelligence. Its stories commonly concern legislation, scrutiny of major US technology companies, and the practical boundaries of European digital regulation.

The recent arc

Coverage rose again in 2025Q4, its strongest recent quarter, around the next stage of platform accountability and a sharper transatlantic political backdrop. EU lawmakers agreed rules that would make platforms including Meta and TikTok liable for reported financial scams, while EU states adopted a position on child-protection legislation that did not require Big Tech to find and remove CSAM before negotiations with lawmakers. The EU’s warning after US travel bans on five Europeans also put “regulatory autonomy” at the center of the story.】【”】【},{
