What now? Sander Schimmelpenninck is looking for possible solutions. What about the new European Digital Services Act? A step in the right direction or mustard after the meal? Sander meets Alice Stolmeijer, who lobbies in Brussels for more supervision and regulations. He speaks in London with lawyer Jamie Susskind, who is thinking about democratization. And Marietje Schaake, who works around the corner from Silicon Valley, indicates what Big Tech itself is (not) planning to do in terms of change. Or is it all okay? During a visit to a social studies lesson in Zwolle, Sander sees that youth may not be as impressionable as we think.
