The European Union has led the charge on regulating Big Tech companies for years now. Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation was the first major rule on the transfer and tracking of personal data. The EU has also given the rest of the world a new way to think about tackling the American giants: Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon.

Host Molly Wood speaks with Margrethe Vestager, the executive vice president of the European Commission who oversaw the proposals.
