Amazon is a perfect #enshittification parable - platforms subsidize end users until they're locked in, then make life good for business customers at users' expense, until *they're* locked in, then claw back all the value they can, leaving just enough to keep the lock-in going.

1/ In light of today's second political trilogue, we are sharing our position on #AMLR. We discuss our concerns & recommendations to strike the right balance between tackling financial crimes & fostering innovation in the #blockchain & #crypto industries.

2/ 🟣 We highlight the issue of double scoping of #CASPs as both financial institutions & a standalone category, potentially leading to legal confusion. We ask legislators to revert back to the EC's initial proposal for defining obliged entities under #AMLR.

3/ 🟣 We address the inclusion of #NFTs services as obliged persons, Metaverse, #DAOs & #DeFi arrangements. We urge legislators to remove unnecessary references, considering the diverse nature of NFTs & the nascent stage of the Metaverse and DeFi.

🧵Today I had an exchange with a European colleague that made me think about where #EU may be in a decade. Will the EU become an integrated autonomous pole in the emerging global system, even becoming a competitor to the US as my colleague suggested? I think not. Here is why: 1/9

The #EU still lacks attributes of a nation-state (at its core, it's a treaty-based organization), and a number of current variables defy EU's further integration. The external threat Europe faces today in the wake of the war in #Ukraine will prioritize defense and security. 2/9

The relatively benign external environment in which the EU evolved prior to 2022 is over (terrorism and the Balkan wars were not existential threats). Another factor mitigating against further centralization will be economic growth (high in the East but low overall in Europe).3/9

Big Tech steals from the news, but what it steals is *money*, not *content*. Talking about the news, excerpting it, linking to it, quoting it - these are all beneficial, normal news activities. If you can't talk about the news, it's not news - it's a *secret*.

But tech *does* steal from news. A variety of monopolistic tricks allows tech to interpose itself between reporters, publishers and outlets, and the audiences they serve. By creating chokepoints between the news and its audience, tech can extract gigantic sums from the news.

Cui bono? The US is directing the war, providing support & intelligence and having the technical capability is carelessness about both sides' losses.

All #US tools, including the #EU official like @vonderleyen & co. r already accusing #Russia because they believe they can bark loudly and influence public opinion.
In reality, #Ukraine has failed the first push, and the #US needed a diversion, similar to the defeat in #Bakhmut.

A natural water barrage has been created, making any possible "spring offensive" void.

An excellent way to avoid declaring the defeat of 50 nations in #Ukraine.

Wir haben bereits darüber berichtet, dass sich Manfred #Weber (@CSU) als #EVP-Vorsitzenser auf die Fahnen geschrieben hat, den Green Deal der #EU zu torpedieren.

Mit dem Angriff von Frau #Niebler (ebenfalls CSU) auf das #Lieferkettengesetz wird es jetzt konkret.

Obwohl der jetzige Gesetzesentwurf ein Kompromiss ist, an dem auch die EVP mitgewirkt hat, will Frau #Niebler jetzt massive Änderungen, die das Gesetz nutzlos machen.

Sie erhält dabei nicht nur Unterstützung aus ihrer eigenen Fraktion, sondern auch von den Liberalen.

So verlangt sie, dass Unternehmen nur dann für die Verletzung von Menschenrechten zur Verantwortung gezogen werden können, wenn sie Vorsätzlich und grob fahrlässig handelten handelten und wenn sie direkt dafür verantwortlich sind.
