ChatGPT, not satisfied with being an app, wants to become your life’s operating system
All things equal, you'd rather not be intermediated. It's just not a nice way to spend an afternoon! Picture it: You've got a perfectly nice little business going. You make widgets, and you sell them...

Motivations behind content removals were questioned. Users suggested puritanical views, financial pressures, or a desire to control narratives, rather than genuine harm concerns, might be at play. It raises transparency issues for platform decisions. #PlatformPower 4/6

Pew just dropped the data: AI summaries on Google are killing clicks to news sites.

Translation? Tech platforms are strip-mining journalism for training data and audience reach—leaving publishers out of the loop.

Emotions like anger and fear keep you online longer.
📊 Studies from MIT & Harvard show:
➡️ The most polarizing content gets promoted.
➡️ Platforms profit from your outrage.
All of this happens invisibly.

Backed by:

🔹 The Independent Publishers Alliance
🔹 Foxglove (legal NGO)
🔹 Movement for an Open Web

They say the EU must act fast to prevent “irreparable harm” to independent journalism.

Meanwhile, Google says: “We send billions of clicks daily.”
