Global Tech Faces a New Gatekeeper: Turkey

Turkey has suspended new ad agreements with Apple, Google, Meta, and Amazon while investigating whether they unfairly favor their own platforms. This move follows a 2021 ruling against Google and highlights rising global momentum to regulate Big Tech’s market power. 🌐

The message is clear: countries are asserting digital sovereignty—and tech companies must adapt.

This moment ties to a broader shift we’ve explored:

✅ Trust and compliance are now prerequisites to market access

✅ Product launches need regulatory fluency—not just speed

✅ Legal, policy, and product teams must collaborate earlier and deeper

We’re not just navigating law. We’re navigating power, trust, and national priorities.

If your go-to-market playbook doesn’t factor in geopolitical risk and local enforcement culture, it’s time for a rewrite.
