Thread: Right-wingers want to "cancel" Disney. @hamandcheese tells the @ThePlumLineGS that they need to clarify what they actually want: Is it an end to corporate rent-seeking or a targeted retaliation at a specific company?/1 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
We can fairly say it’s the latter. Why? Because if the right cared about the issue of media power and copyright more broadly, there are plenty of more relevant issues for the right to address than copyright terms. /2
Perhaps they’d be interested in taking a look at statutory damages for copyright infringement, which are downright punitive. They’re severe, but not swift or certain–the opposite of what an effective deterrence policy looks like. /3
(1) For the reasons I explained in my latest post, I have to focus on my own #AppStore issue and other priorities and obligations, so to my dismay can't follow the #EpicGames v. #Apple trial in real time because it's huge. This is likely my final thread on the topic for a month.
(2) #Antitrust has a vivid and at times "sensationalist" side, but the actual decisions are based on rather abstract elements -- and the rulings tend to be dry. #Apple won't look good when all the evidence is presented, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll lose the case.
(3) #EpicGames is heroic. I really mean it. I'm not saying I agree with them, their priorities, jurisdictional choices etc. 100%--the issue is too complex for that. But probably > 95%. I can't read minds, but an #antitrust plaintiff can't be more principled than @TimSweeneyEpic.
En 3 ans, depuis le début du @MoutonNumerique (sans causalité) le débat techno critique est arrivé à maturité fans le débat public, sans pour autant devenir un outil de la décision politique.
Ces technoluttes ne sont pas nouvelles, mais passaient inaperçues jusque là et étaient activement réprimées par les pouvoirs en place. La nouveauté est l'apparition dune contestation au sein des ingénieurs, inaugurant un #techlash @OnEstLaTech
My 2 cts: Zuck’s stoicism is a huge weakness and he will act all surprised when the government regulates/breaks up fb >> Zuckerberg Refuses Responsibility for Facebook’s Latest, Greatest Scandal vanityfair.com/news/2018/11/m…? via @mekosoff 
Huge 🔥 from @PublicisGroupe - Zuck+Sandberg will start to become even more radioactive and government intervention will accelerate. Can someone send Zuck a history book re Standard Oil or does he refuse to see reality?

0/ Thread. Having spent some time with @Nicolas_Colin on his new book HEDGE about #tech, #entrepreneurship, social #policy and the future of the Safety Net, I'm sharing some things that stuck with me, and why HEDGE is one for the ☀️📚📝 #readinglist amazon.com/Hedge-Greater-…
1/ @Nicolas_Colin is thought-provoking not least because of his vantage point - graduated from the French ENA, worked at the top of the French civil service, set up his own company, and invests in startups all over 🇪🇺 with @_TheFamily
2/ Im not one for party politics, and HEDGE isn't about that. It's a book that speaks to the zeitgeist of the #techlash and ways for #startup #founders and #politicians to think about smart, sensible policies to build an inclusive Safety Net 2.0 📖
