US govt is screwed for controlling US tech billionaires.

EU has, by contrast, been doing a great job on that front - putting citizens’ consumer protections forcefully first.

The UK needs to stand with the EU on this front… especially with the threat of Musk, Thiel, etc.

The "open web" has clearly failed - at least as the idealists of the 90s/00s saw it. Meaningful regulation is sorely needed. Democratically-elected governments need to do this (while they still can). Because the mercurial tech bro billionaires have shown they're utterly incapable/unwilling.

If we’ve learned anything about how people consume information and construct internal narratives, it’s that it usually takes repeating something (could be news, or a lie, whatever) over and over for people to internalize it as the truth.
