·The Guardian·Impact 3/5 · Notable

The Greens party plans to push for stronger laws to regulate big tech companies. They want individuals to have the right to take these companies to court and receive financial compensation if they are harmed by their online actions. This could have significant implications for the tech industry, potentially leading to increased costs and liability for companies like Facebook and Google. If the Greens succeed, it could also set a precedent for future legislation and have a broader impact on the economy.
