incredibly important to timeline. GOP Senator’s 1st person account which counters Trump’s counsel’s claims of hearsay. And confirm’s Trump’s knowledge of Pence being in danger ten minutes PRIOR to sending tweet attacking Pence for being unwilling to do something unconstitutional.
Extraordinary testimony from GOP member of congress. “He is not a blameless observer, he was rooting for them.” New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump refused to call off the rioters cnn.com/2021/02/12/pol…
And here is the statement from another GOP Member of Congress. I don’t know why @RepRaskin hasn’t called them to testify. They are acting with incredible courage 🙏🏽, practically begging others to share their own details and the broader public isn’t aware of any of this.

Google propaganda like this requires more unpacking. You’ll find out G’s deals map closely to where they have regulatory threats. (Unlike Facebook), Google has not said they’ll bring Showcase and $ to US. The game they’re playing is obvious to the world. wsj.com/articles/micro… Image
There it is. So according to this report, the French news industry can be bought out by Google for $20-30 mil per year. It’s good to be a monopoly. reuters.com/article/google…
Reuters on Reuters action here, y’all. Image

woah. just had time today to review Australia's report on adtech (222 pages!) - hands-down the best report I've ever seen on adtech complex - creates an overwhelmingly clear picture of the problem. Hint in this image of a monopoly participating in all sides of the market. /1
it's only the interim report but I would expect much of these facts and the report will hold up for the final report later this year. Look how they then connect Google's supply chain dominance to its marketshare throughout the supply chain. /2
and great news is (like UK and US regulators) they very clearly tie Google's dominance to its unparalleled access to user data across all sides of the market. and how significantly this current market violates user expectations - something we previously researched, too. /3

Hello - for good reason. “Several news outlets have said Google is getting closer to offering the amount they want to be paid for news content, ***but many are sceptical about the intent of the deals.***” /1 amp.theage.com.au/business/compa…
Yes, that’s exactly what they’re doing. “They are concerned that Google is using Showcase and offering large sums as a way to avoid a precedent for paying for search and that they will be used as part of a public relations exercise.” /2
I don’t believe this. “One source indicated the federal government had tried contacting news outlets encouraging them to strike deals with Google.” /3

let's talk about Facebook PR strategies. yes, they first "deny" and "deflect" (plug for @ceciliakang @sheeraf book) but if ultimately they have a major business risk, they proactively attempt to shift the controversy towards a battle they can either win or at least delay. /1
they did this with Cambridge Analytica by jumping press cycle, rushing Zuckerberg to DC, and making a researcher the fall guy who abused their platform (while his partner worked at FB) shifting narrative it was snake oil. I won't get into the holes in this narrative. /2
shortly after, a leak of an old Facebook memo from an executive shifted us towards talking about how FB connects people and whether this is healthy or not away from the underlying data/APIs of platform which had been leveraged to capture market power for FB. /3

good report with obligatory statement by Facebook at the end. Apple so has the upper hand in this dispute, it's not even funny. Cook nails the toxic business model of Facebook.
dropping this thread in here w/ my remarks at the same conference @tim_cook references from a few years earlier. Not for any other reason but that you'll hopefully see why I so greatly appreciate and welcome his voice.
and before anyone accuses me Apple-loving, here is a letter I sent Cook last year specifically around antitrust including appearance with @carlquintanilla on CNBC. I have issues with app store, including economics, but I'm 100% with Cook on this one.
