Y Combinator (YC) has publicly encouraged the White House to endorse Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to regulate major tech companies by designating them as 'gatekeepers' and preventing them from anti-competitive practices. The act is seen as vital for protecting user rights and promoting a more equitable digital marketplace. Feedback from commenters varies significantly, with some expressing skepticism over the effectiveness of the DMA, and others calling for more stringent regulations on data privacy and consumers' rights regarding digital purchases. Concerns were raised regarding the moral integrity of tech companies, the drawbacks of the current regulatory atmosphere, and the troubling trend towards a surveillance society.
