We are now LIVE tweeting the conversation between @vestager and @SunjoyJ. Join us for an engaging discussion #Raisina2021

.@vestager: When it comes to #digitaltech, we have been timid as democracies and societies to say it should serve humans like any other tech. Regulation ensures that services are delivered in a way that can be trusted, and keeps the market open and contestable #Raisina2021

.@vestager: In democracies, the debate among politicians and citizens should be the real debate, not fragmented, manipulated debates that drive the world apart #Raisina2021

.@SunjoyJ: Some see seamless #DataFlow as the way to reach Industry 4.0, others see it as a security threat. What are the ways in which our understanding of #connectivity and #DataFlow as consumers and policy makers need to evolve? #Raisina2021

.@vestager: What connects different perspectives – be it security, democracy, marketplace, or social – is the question of trust. Trust can only be achieved if you combine all perspectives. #Raisina2021

.@vestager: There is an increasing meeting of minds, particularly in democracies, because here the starting point is the integrity and dignity of the individual. We don’t always get the same solutions, but actions that aim at the same thing #Raisina2021

.@SunjoyJ: Is regulation of #BigTech likely to become the next rift between Transatlantic countries? #Raisina2021

.@vestager: When it comes to tech, it is imp. to push forward but without drama. If we can get different jurisdictions to click together like a puzzle, we can provide a sense of predictability that will be conducive to #innovation and the dynamics of #digitaltech #Raisina2021

.@vestager: Standards are crucial, but standard setting is not always neutral and is increasingly geopolitical. It is imp. to secure efficiency, #trust and #transparency in our multi-lateral institutions. #Raisina2021

.@SunjoyJ: Shared values will ultimately lead to shared ownership, which makes better regulation and cooperation between the EU and other regions of the globe #Raisina2021

We come to the close of the conversation between @vestager and @SunjoyJ. Thank you for Joining us! #Raisina2021 #RaisinaDialogue
