Provisions on access to source code, free flows of data, amongst others, limit the ability of the governments to implement much needed consumer protection measures in the digital ecosystem. The report points to the need to protect and develop on the new people-centric trade policy initiated by the Biden administration rather than allow the USMCA to further expand on giveaways to Big Tech companies.</p><div class=""><b class=""><a href="https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/Making-NAFTA-Worse-Giveaways-for-Big-Tech-in-the-USMCA.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: inherit; transition: none var(--t8n_d1) ease; box-shadow: 0px -1px inset; text-decoration: none; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(3, 27, 68); font-family: "Nunito Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px;" class="">Download the report as PDF</a><span style="caret-color: rgb(3, 27, 68); color: rgb(3, 27, 68); font-family: "Nunito Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">.</span></b></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><b style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="color: black;" class="">Please consider amplifying on <a href="https://x.com/PCGTW/status/1899852722343403677" title="https://x.com/PCGTW/status/1900583215691190490" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://x.com/PCGTW/status/1899852722343403677&source=gmail&ust=1742327826552000&usg=AOvVaw3iR7yqhY5AyTzAZlM2SQjl" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="">X (formerly Twitter)</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHJjebbSOm0/" title="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHJjebbSOm0/" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/p/DHJjebbSOm0/&source=gmail&ust=1742327826552000&usg=AOvVaw0DqaN_gLBiWC1lJD6VT7B6" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pcgtw.bsky.social/post/3lke6ugp5jk2k" title="https://bsky.app/profile/pcgtw.bsky.social/post/3lke6ugp5jk2k" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://bsky.app/profile/pcgtw.bsky.social/post/3lke6ugp5jk2k&source=gmail&ust=1742327826552000&usg=AOvVaw363XlKeCqh9dBFf9F9O2zn" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="">Threads</a> and <a href="https://www.threads.net/@pcglobaltradewatch/post/DHMGaO8J8R2?xmt=AQGz4dXtokCOT67g0MyRF3foLEeJk6uMf4p0wQcjE-wZJQ" title="https://www.threads.net/@pcglobaltradewatch/post/DHMGaO8J8R2?xmt=AQGz4dXtokCOT67g0MyRF3foLEeJk6uMf4p0wQcjE-wZJQ" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.threads.net/@pcglobaltradewatch/post/DHMGaO8J8R2?xmt%3DAQGz4dXtokCOT67g0MyRF3foLEeJk6uMf4p0wQcjE-wZJQ&source=gmail&ust=1742327826552000&usg=AOvVaw3YlrSNEeYU8jVYZNNRBI1j" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="">Bluesky</a>.</span></b><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""> </span><div class=""><font face="Aptos, sans-serif" size="3" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></font></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">More content to share on social media is available in this<b class=""> </b></span><u style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="color: rgb(30, 83, 163);" class=""><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1grwKPf2_fQAiw0fxyPvjRcgVEBWGWj00EqAi5oP8qUs/edit?usp=sharing" title="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1grwKPf2_fQAiw0fxyPvjRcgVEBWGWj00EqAi5oP8qUs/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1grwKPf2_fQAiw0fxyPvjRcgVEBWGWj00EqAi5oP8qUs/edit?usp%3Dsharing&source=gmail&ust=1742327826552000&usg=AOvVaw3P3OHgZ9MxrLxmvGgc_ay_" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="">toolkit</a></span></u><b style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="color: black;" class="">.</span></b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
