Hey there What’s Next readers! This week we’ll look at a European Union copyright initiative that has critics crying foul over freedom of speech. Also up, attorneys general call out big tech for quietly creeping on users, including kids. And a host of crypto news and highlights from technology’s collision course with the government.

For suggestions, feedback or just saying hi, don’t be shy: get at me via @IanMichaelLopez or [email protected].
