White House: the US and the EU intend to address unjustified digital trade barriers.

Commission: no mention of this whatsoever. "There is absolutely no commitment on digital regulation or digital taxes," a senior official said this morning.

🔍 Cada vez que abres una web de noticias, Google cobra. Pero el periodismo independiente no.
Google domina ilegalmente la publicidad digital asfixiando a medios libres.

📢 Únete a @PeopleVsBigTech y exige a la Comisión Europea que rompa el monopolio.

Stock buybacks are an insane vehicle for wealth transfer. Apple is jacking up it's prices while handing $100B to shareholders. Since 2012 they overcharged $1 trillion for their products and gifted it to investors.

„Walczcie o nas, a nie o miliarderów Trumpa!” – takie hasła pojawiły się, wczoraj w brukselskiej dzielnicy, gdzie zatrzymują się unijni politycy i polityczki. Czas nie jest przypadkowy: na początku czerwca Komisja Europejska […]

La imagen muestra los logos de Google, Apple y el símbolo del infinito incrustados en una superficie oscura y agrietada que se asemeja a madera o roca. Los logotipos parecen estar hechos de piezas que encajan, con los colores representativos de cada marca. El diseño sugiere una tensión o conflicto entre estas tres entidades, representadas por las grietas que irradian desde el centro de la imagen.

One of the few benefits of AI is that it now takes 10 seconds to completely debunk right wing bullshit artists' propaganda social media posts. Too bad these chuds will never implement this in their platforms.

“Content moderation is a dead end.”

As I’ve been saying for years: for measures at the root level of the information disorder, we need to work upstream — in the design process.

Can anyone still control AI?

“This isn’t a long-term thing anymore. It’s happening.”

Most importantly: let's not make the same mistake as govts did with social media. Self-regulation doesn't work!
