“As this report makes clear, the real danger is not just misinformation and other harmful content, but the concentrated power of tech monopolies who profit from its spread. These firms control the infrastructure of online life, curate public discourse, and operate with near-total impunity. Tackling online harm means confronting the power of the platforms themselves."

Currently on the 12th floor of Berlamont for a meeting with Vestager’s cabinet regarding an anti-trust complaint...

If I pull this off it will be bigger than bankrupting billion dollar adtech company , Phorm.

Trying to get the Commission to force Meta to open up Facebook and Instagram to federation via ActivityPub or another interoperable protocol.

Wish me luck - securing this meeting was a huge step.

I heard this in #Beijing from many European companies who have witnessed firsthand this shift towards security and away from the logic of #openMarkets and #freetrade and to strengthen that security and control leverage.

China is openly pursuing a policy of reducing its dependency on the world. That's completely okay that's their right but while increasing the world's dependency on itself.

"#Magerman has given more than $400,000 to the campaign #FreedomfromFacebook because he believes #Facebook has too much power over how the world communicates.

A Republican consulting firm — #Definers Public Affairs — working for Facebook tried to link the Freedom from Facebook campaign with #GeorgeSoros, whose #OpenSociety Foundations help fund the #OpenMarkets Institute, the New York Times reported on Wednesday."
