Before they move, each already feels the turn. The door extracts their feeling going in and out..

Your daily reminder that @EUCommission are only cunts on days with names ending with day.

“The European Commission will launch its long-awaited bid to simplify digital rules in an effort to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses and to promote European start ups in the global artificial intelligence race.”

Regulating Big Tech is like regulating a malignant tumour. You don’t regulate a malignant tumour. You cut it out, with enough of a surgical margin to ensure you get every last putrid bit to avoid regrowth.

(This is moot, of course, as we’re not even regulating Big Tech, we’re feeding it with subsidies, government contracts, and access to national healthcare and other sensitive data while the folks who should be regulating them eye their next lucrative gig beyond the revolving doors of their lobbies.)

@gigi I guess that would depend, in part, on how many folks at @EUCommission are looking to work at those corporations as their next gig.
