Hi everybody, I'm John Don Van, host and moderator of Intelligent Squared US Debates.

In this episode, the topic of tech. Tech that place where our lives meet science and business and culture and where so much is debatable.

Which is why we and Intelligent Squared US have in fact debated techs impact in a lot of areas already on privacy, on security, on learning, on politics, on our brains and on the state of our discourse.

This time though, we're going a little more global.

Most of the online giants like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, their products of American capitalism, they're built here.

But they play around the world, including in Europe, where the rules are different.

Europe has now passed laws that limit what these companies can do, especially what they can do with user data, the gathering of, the storage of, the selling of, the deleting of.

And how has that worked out? Well, once again, on the topic of tech, we thought that had the makings of a debate, so we had it.

We brought together four esteemed thinkers, individuals who have spent decades thinking about technology and government and regulation, all to our stage at the K Playhouse Theatre in New York City.

It was a competition of ideas in three rounds on one question, which we call a resolution.

So yes or no to this statement, Europe has declared war on American tech companies. That's our resolution.

Our live audience voted on that resolution before the show, and you can still cast your pre-debate vote online right now.

As always, our audience decides which team wins the day. Now to the debate.
