March 29, 2022, Opinion: "Late Thursday, March 25, the dam broke in Brussels. The resulting flood will inundate Washington.  The governing bodies of the European Union (EU) reached an agreement on oversight of dominant internet platforms such as Apple, Meta (Facebook), Alphabet (Google), Amazon, and Microsoft.
