Commissioner Thierry #Breton has resigned from the @EUCommission and will not run again. Sounds like he is pretty pissed.

I am very curious to see where that will leave #DSA and #DMA enforcement. 😬

@aral It's a tough question, Breton has indeed been a mixed bag:

He has pushed for competitiveness over competition (e.g. in telcos) and digital sovereignty for him mostly seemed to mean building a European Google.

But on the positive side, he has also supported swift enforcement of the DSA & DMA and has never seemed scared by the powers one faces when taking on big tech firms.

in reply to Jan Penfrat

Hmm, based on that, I wonder how much of it was him protecting the interests of EU Telcos against those of Silicon Valley Big Tech.

I mean, I already have very low expectations when it comes to the EU Commission :)

Yeah, it's very strange
Though I'm never sure these days if these truly are things people also ask and/or to what extent the search engines or llms mess with the content and frequencies.


what does Elon Musk do while his companies take on Government contracts?

He tweets dangerous, irresponsible, idiotic and incendiary suggestions that assassination attempts on Donald Trump are orchestrated by the President and Vice President of the United States.

Make no mistake, that’s what Musk is suggesting.

Realise that this isn't a failure of policy or something "going wrong" in the immigration system. In 2019 an envoy from the UN determined that this result was intentional and that the UK enacted "systematic immiseration" and "destitution by design" on folk like this.
