ChatGPT

Agree

No

Given the European People’s Party’s (EPP) stance on promoting a competitive market within the European Union, they are more likely to favor regulatory measures over breaking up companies. The EPP has supported the need for digital giants to be regulated to prevent anti-competitive practices and to ensure they pay fair taxes within the EU. However, their approach is more about creating a level playing field and ensuring that these companies contribute positively to the European economy rather than dismantling them. The EPP’s support for the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act, aimed at curbing the power of big tech, indicates a preference for regulation and oversight rather than breaking up companies.

Disagree

Yes

The European People’s Party (EPP), being center-right and generally pro-business, tends to support free market principles and is cautious about heavy-handed government interventions in the economy. While the EPP has shown concern about the power of big tech companies and has supported increased regulation on digital platforms to ensure competition and protect consumers, outright breaking up companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google might be seen as too radical. The EPP has historically backed measures to enhance digital single market strategies and data protection (e.g., GDPR), but these actions do not directly equate to supporting the breakup of tech giants.
