🎬So awed by dear friend Shirley Jackson Whitaker. Last weekend an independent film by director Taylor Rees about her work commemorating victims of lynching was screened at Mountain Film in Telluride, Colorado.

"America has yet to heal from the trauma of its darkest era, and Winfred Rembert is living proof of that. Rembert, who lived on a plantation, joined the civil rights movement as a teen and was put to work on a chain gang, is a rare survivor of a lynching attempt."

2/
"Decades later, he still carries the scars. 'That lynching is on my back, and it’s dragging me down, even today,' he says. "

Holy Stable Genius! I never imagined going to Yale would transform me into an occasional cable news pundit with direct access to my writing

Here’s how it happened.

I turned twenty in early December of my sophomore year at Yale. It was not a happy moment.

If you've read my piece on why now is the time to break up #Facebook, and you want to learn more about the topics of corporate concentration and breaking up monopolies, here's a recommended reading list: medium.com/@chrishughes/a…
The best primer on the topic is "The Curse of Bigness." Written by @superwuster, it makes a case that antitrust has always been about holding the most powerful accountable. indiebound.org/book/978099974…
After reading #CurseofBigness, go deeper on the link between inequality and antitrust in a paper called “Market Power and Antitrust.” Its authors, @linamkhan and @sandeepvaheesan, have gone out of their way to make the writing accessible and lucid. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Morning campers! I’ll be live-tweeting from the European Court of Justice today about @Google’s “Right to be Forgotten” hearing.

What’s the main point? Should Europe (or France’s #privacy regulator) be able to apply its rules over the internet worldwide.

A recap:
La Vanguardia, a Spanish newspaper, published records in the late 1990s detailing the debt delinquencies of Mario Costeja.

About a decade later, Costeja sued, saying that the publication breached his right to privacy.
After a lengthy legal dispute, the case was referred to the ECJ which, in 2014, ruled that individuals had the right to ask that search engines like @Google remove links (but not the underlying webpages) from search results

1. There's a political realignment going on, and it's not right-left. It's tech platforms versus everyone else. Let's start with Jim Cramer talking about all the CEOs freaking out about Amazon.
2. And then marketing guru Scott Galloway at the Digital Media Summit getting *a standing ovation* for calling for the break-up of big tech.
3. Now we'll go to @Yelp's forum on the 20th anniversary of the Microsoft case. Antitrust attorney Jonathan Kanter discusses all the CEOs who can't understand why antitrust law is so weak against the platforms. c-span.org/video/?445473-…

1. I mentioned this last night, but this memo by new FTC Commissioner @chopraftc is really worth reading. It is a bad-ass and extremely important statement on corporate crime and has significant implications for Facebook. propublica.org/article/rohit-…
2. First, some context. This memo is about recidivism, or committing a crime again once you've been caught. In 2011, Facebook was caught in 2011 engaging in "unfair and deceptive" practices, and the FTC stated the company "violated federal law." Today's scandal is a repeat crime.
3. "FTC orders are not suggestions." <--- That's how law enforcer Chopra says it. And he footnotes that showing that the cost can be $41,484 per violation. Facebook has 87 million violations in the Cambridge Analytica scandal. This is a company killer.

The #AI task force for Economic Transformation in #India (set up by the Government’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry) released its report last month. Some background (B) and key takeaways (T). 1/n
B1. The vision guiding this report is “AI as a socio economic problem solver at large scale rather than only a booster of economic growth”. 2/n
B2. It seeks to address the role of the Government in the field, answer how #AI can improve quality of life, and identify sectors for AI growth. 3/n
