History

Historical Context

The 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, exposed in March 2018, revealed how data-driven political targeting reshaped regulatory scrutiny. The U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office fined Facebook £500,000, while the U.S. FTC imposed a $5 billion penalty on Meta in 2019. Today, Donald Trump’s dismissal of AI guardrails and Anthropic’s push for a slowdown echo the same tension between political power and emerging technology oversight. Consequently, regulators like ESMA now enforce fiduciary duties under MiFID II while wealth managers bind billions of assets to AI, foreshadowing stricter global governance.
