Tech media coverage is particularly embarrassing when it comes to covering EU regulation. I remember the coverage of GDPR being misleading and its repeating with the DSA.
You read a bunch of headlines about the EU is finally clamping down on big tech but the story is actually that you can now report fake Gucci bags on Amazon and Twitter has to explain why your tweet was taken down.
So anticlimactic and so little depth or nuance in the coverage.
