@Kristian_Kiehling can't make any decisions without "actionable data." Anu Bradford spelled it out for everyone back in 2023. Who's curtain does everyone want to live behind? Those with the money are locking up as many people behind theirs as possible, owning rights and all that. People you'd never think would be working together, are happy to do so as long as they remain close to those pulling the levers, and get a piece of the sweet sweet data gold in everyone's brains. Ain't no war but class war. Follow the $ and trace it to the decision makers. The kayfabe is over.

@cryptadamist Sounds like an "everything" app, the thing everyone wants to strangle people with just like China. It's so awesome! So, move there then! The US will have there's soon enough, hold your load bro. Every country will be carving out their own, too, let me tell you.

@redsteve @coderbyheart I think this is a broader statement about shoring up the West, blocking off Russian and Chinese influence in the race to blanket the earth with surveillance nodes. Civilizations are being encapsulated. Which ruler's curtain does everyone want to live behind? The EU is the only one at least trying to do the right thing. Unfortunately, they have to beat off the Bear and the Dragon (coming at them simultaneously) before they can deal with their knucklehead cousin, hoping he doesn't do something stupid that messes up their fight in the meantime.

@badlogic There's a lot of pants shitting going on around the globe. Everyone's trying to grab the tiger by the tail so they're not left in the dust. Proper handshake and all that. I was really hoping the EU would pump out some eager scientists to spin up a network for the Alliance, but it appears they're surrounded by sorcery.

@unixviking oh, but you can help the good people over here, just as the good people over here helped the good people over there at one point in time. Good people need to unite, full stop. How that's done, as any coordinated effort can be easily sniffed out by the controller sphere blanketing the earth, is anyone's guess. Reading #DigitalEmpires is a good start for anyone wanting to understand the complexity of what's going on. American voters should have read it before casting their vote last year, as the US was at a crossroads. Unfortunately, it went the China route. The EU needs to encapsulate itself from the encroaching threat coming from both sides, NOW!

I’ve started reading #DigitalEmpires because, much as I’m into #Tech, the influence of #Regulation can’t be ignored.

Come l'Occidente ha imparato a smettere di preoccuparsi e ad amare la Cina e altre storie, nella newsletter Digital Bridge di MarkScott, capo corrispondente tecnologico di POLITICO

@informatica


— Anu Bradford, l’accademico finlandese che ha coniato l’espressione “effetto Bruxelles”, ritiene che l’Occidente assomigli sempre più alla Cina quando si tratta di politica tecnologica. #DigitalEmpires

— #DSA Digital Service Act: le nuove regole dell'Unione Europea sui social media entrano in vigore questa settimana. Avvertenza: nessuno è pronto e dobbiamo tutti calmarci.

— Le nuove norme indiane sulla protezione dei dati rappresentano o una sorveglianza di massa su larga scala o una nuova era di protezione della privacy. Possono essere vere entrambe?

— I recenti articoli accademici sul ruolo che le piattaforme di Meta svolgono nella politica statunitense sono uno sforzo nobile. Ma secondo Brandon Silverman nella sua newsletter Substack, non riescono a spiegare come la trasparenza dovrebbe essere un processo continuo e non qualcosa che è una semplice istantanea nel tempo.

— Alle agenzie federali statunitensi è stato ordinato di presentare proposte di finanziamento per costruire strumenti che riducano le minacce dell’intelligenza artificiale, anche contro la democrazia

— Di recente 𝕏 ha apportato MASSIVE modifiche al proprio algoritmo. Tibo ha trascorso 20 ore a esaminare 13.160 righe di codice modificato: ecco le pepite d'oro che ha trovato

Anu Bradford

A leading scholar on the EU’s regulatory power and a sought-after commentator on the European Union, global economy, and digital regulation, Anu Bradford coined the term the Brussels Effect to describe the European Union’s outsize influence on global markets. Most recently, she is the author of The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World (2020), named one of the best books of 2020 by Foreign Affairs. Her next book Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology will be published by the OUP in September 2023. Bradford is also an expert in international antitrust law. She spearheads the Comparative Competition Law Project, which has built a comprehensive global data set of antitrust laws and enforcement across time and jurisdictions. The project, a joint effort between the Law School and the University of Chicago Law School, covers more than a century of regulation in over 100 countries and has been the basis for Bradford’s recent empirical research on the antitrust regimes used to regulate markets.  Before joining the Law School faculty in 2012, Bradford was an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School. She also practiced EU and antitrust law in Brussels and has served as an adviser on economic policy in the Parliament of Finland and as an expert assistant at the European Parliament. The World Economic Forum named her Young Global Leader ’10.  At the Law School, Bradford is the director of the European Legal Studies Center, which trains students for leadership roles in European law, public affairs, and the global economy. She is also a senior scholar at Columbia Business School’s Jerome A. Chazen Institute for Global Business, and a nonresident scholar at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
