Momentum is building - so where now? | EP 5 Taming The Titans | ARTICLE 19

This week, we talk about a crucial third force in this discussion - beyond state and business: civil society - groups of citizens advocating for human and democratic rights and for the good of societies. 

But, it's not easy for civil society's voice to be heard in the face of extremely powerful and notoriously secretive companies with huge budgets for lobbying and influence in very high places.

Emily Hart is joined by experts from two top consumer rights organisations - one from each side of the Atlantic: Vanessa Turner of BEUC and Camila Leite Contri of the Brazilian Institute of Consumers Protection. 

A global debate is coming: legislators and regulators in different parts of the world will need to adapt emerging regulatory tools and concepts to their own context and markets. What can we learn from the process of negotiations around the Digital Markets Act in Europe and how can it be replicated in other contexts? Is it even the right template? How can we weave together a global civil society to make sure that people's voices are really heard in this growing conversation?
