The @EUCourtPress Android judgement (curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/do…) makes some good points.

But here’s one I find incredibly misinformed: anti-fragmentation agreements are anti-competitive “in so far” as they seek to prevent non-compatible forks. Which rationale do you need, then? Also, I get that there are two separate markets for non-transactional intermediaries, hence a market for third-party manufacturers different from the market for end-customers. But does it make sense to exclude iOS from it? As @CompetitionProf and I wrote papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I am often asked to provide a list of articles dealing with blockchain and the law. Here are some of my favorites. A thread 🧵 1– Philip E.

I watched The Social Dilemma last night (imdb.com/title/tt114648…). A thread: 1- I couldn’t help but asking myself the following question all along: do they see the irony in arguing the tech industry is killing democracy on...... Netflix (and that most people will hear about it through social media)??! Anyway, pass the irony, let me get a closer look.
