Cloud Empires

On 12 June 2024, we discussed how Big Tech has come to rule the internet like autocrats, and what we can do about it. Vili Lehdonvirta (University of Oxford) talked about his book Cloud Empires. Discussants included Isabell Claus (thinkers GmbH), Thomas Reutterer (WU Vienna) and Vicky Robertson, who talked about what competition law can contribute to injecting competition into digital platform markets. Michael Stampfer (WWTF) acted as moderator.
