Wu might concede this point, but he would disagree with Clegg’s claims that maintaining the status quo is beneficial to users. Instead, he believes less sweeping regulation can help make Big Tech less dangerous while ensuring a better user experience. Given that Meta itself has previously meddled in access to the internet (such as in India, whose telecommunications regulator ultimately blocked its Free Basics internet service for violating net neutrality rules), this complaint seems suspect coming from Clegg. Such laws have proved ineffective and tend to taint the public’s understanding of social networks, he says. Finally, Clegg also wants Big Tech to give users more meaningful control of their data and how companies such as Meta can use it.
