Should international technology rules be enforceable rather than voluntary?

A binding global rule gets written by committee, which means it gets written to the lowest common denominator. The result locks in weak standards and, worse, can preempt stronger national laws: once a global ceiling exists, industry lobbies to treat it as the final word. Voluntary frameworks let leaders go further, and history shows norms often harden into law after the best practices are proven. The [EU's DSA](https://edaa.eu/digital-services-act/enforcement-and-penalties/) can levy 6 percent fines because it sits inside a real legal union with courts; a global equivalent has no such foundation. Better to let ambitious jurisdictions compete upward than to chain everyone to a compromise drafted to satisfy 190 governments.
