Dat blijkt uit een inventarisatie van de formulieren die de RVO in 2025 ontving van Leitmotiv, waarover nu.nl onlangs ook publiceerde. Deze ngo bestaat uit een groep juristen en informatici die pleiten voor een „digitale economie waarin de voordelen van digitalisering rechtvaardig en democratisch worden verdeeld”.

The wild card remains a behind-the-scenes "Digital Bretton Woods"—standardized frameworks for transparency, due process, and appeals that let both sides claim victory while lowering uncertainty.
Not a wild card (The wild card is the zero sum behaviour of US admin), but an aimed for outcome. Standardisation, transparency and interoperability are key digital policy aims. Note that it is exactly what big tech is clamoring against at the moment.
Second-order effects create opportunities: vendors selling compliance plumbing (audit trails, policy ops, transparency systems) gain; European "sovereignty stack" providers (cloud, identity, data governance) benefit if retaliation shifts to procurement preferences over fines.
This is not second order, but a primary policy aim for the EU digital single market.
The splinternet thesis gets its Western chapter. Not US-China separation, but US-EU divergence inside allied markets—subtler, but more margin-destructive. Big Tech that can operationally bifurcate wins near-term. X-style political defiance loses because EU enforcers smartly choose process violations over content disputes.
Regulatory differences are of all time and splinternet it is not, which implies hard (tech) breaks. Additionally the DSA is unifying for Europe, part of the digital single market. It only looks like divergence to any incumbents outside the EU.

The Digital Republic van Jamie Susskind (2023) is nogal een boekwerk. Niet iets dat je in een avondje uitleest. Maar het is wel een heel belangrijk boek, want het gaat over de vraag hoe we als samenleving technologie kunnen reguleren.
