She points to near-identical 'non-discrimination' clauses in recent bilateral trade agreements that could be used to challenge foreign digital regulations — including the EU's Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, and state-level AI statutes — as trade barriers. Warren has written to Treasury, Commerce, and the USTR naming Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Google as funders of industry groups pushing this strategy. A CSIS analysis describes the pattern as a 'containment doctrine.' Warren argues that routing regulatory questions through opaque trade negotiations bypasses public scrutiny and democratic debate, and has co-sponsored legislation requiring trade deal text to be published before Congress grants fast-track authority. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
