It has been suggested that the GDPR has made surveillance capitalism
more difficult. Summarise the key points of surveillance capitalism and
the key regulatory mechanism of the GDPR, and then critically discuss
whether this proposal is true (i.e., make an argument in favour or
against this claim, citing evidence where applicable). You should also
discuss the connections between privacy, and other regulatory mechanisms
like antitrust and intellectual property. Finally, you should consider
the proposal from Landau (2020) that the US courts / government are big
tech’s ‘best friends’ in consideration of the following question: how do
these insights come to bear on the efficacy of global regulatory
mechanisms?
