The U.S. is justifiably proud of its tech titans. The Internet is a platform for U.S. startups to become global tech giants. Yet, there is a growing concern about whether this success has led to foreign attempts to protect their own domestic industries through protectionism. Throughout the globe, there are now calls for new rules and investigations meant to protect privacy, content, competition and culture, but are these really meant to hamper U.S. Internet companies abroad? Our panel will explore whether this represents a new foreign "digital protectionism" and if so, how U.S. policymakers can work to change the foreign regulatory climate to protect innovation for all companies around the world.
