“ #ConsumerWelfare, #RevealedPreferences, #regulatorycapture & #meritocracy are just some of the ways that #capitalism's alleged defenders cooked up to insist that they love the competitive discipline imposed by markets while being totally dependent on self-described #capitalists who have utterly escaped from that discipline and have committed to doing everything in their power to prevent themselves from ever coming under any form of constraint.
…
Today, these [ #billionaires ] clutch their pearls at the "demonization" of the ultra-rich, calling it "billionaire derangement syndrome." But the only "billionaire derangement syndrome" that matters is the syndrome that affects billionaires and convinces them that they are above any discipline or rules.” -

FCC commissioners grabbing $125,000 skyboxes from #Paramount while voting on its $110B merger is not an ethical gray area—it’s a system built for corporate capture. When the regulators who must hold media companies accountable are also guests of those very firms, impartiality evaporates. This isn’t a lapse; it’s institutional corruption that erodes democracy. We don’t need new laws. The machine works exactly as designed. #RegulatoryCapture #MediaMonopoly #FCC #SurveillanceCapitalism #Compliance

RT @shaunralston: „Open Source ist sehr gefährlich“ – Dario Amodei bezeugt dies in diesem beeindruckenden Video. Die wahre Gefahr liegt nicht in offenen Modellen, sondern darin, dass @AnthropicAI Washington davon überzeugt, dass nur sie mit KI vertrauenswürdig sind. Offene Innovation schlägt regulatorische Übernahme [1/2 👇] Video

A handful of AI companies just spent close to $30 million trying to decide the outcome of ONE House primary in Manhattan — not to win an election, but to prove they can buy the outcome of who regulates them. Voting closes tonight. This is corporatocracy with the mask off.

i suspect (the large) social media networks themselves had a hand in suggesting banning under-16s.
after all their business model is selling ads.
ads want views that can pay.
these tech giants see teens as a liability.
the toxicity within social media also affects adults - so addressing the root cause would be detrimental to their business model.
in their eyes it is much easier to offer a pawn to save a rook.

Every new lobbying carve-out or regulatory loophole proves the same thing: the law is a weapon for incumbents, not a shield for the rest of us. Justice is what survives after the elite have taken what they want. #laws #RegulatoryCapture #RuleOfLaw

More fucking anger about Ireland as a place to live...
IOW, Harris asks banks to do what banks should be doing anyway (I guess). Sound and fury signifying nothing, just like his eminently re-launchable saving scheme.
Anyway, what he should be doing is going after X/Twitter:

Letting the fox run the henhouse. Is there no end to regulatory capture in the world? This regulator will now only protect corporations, not the public.

"Oh," says Mark Carney, "we can't take their profits away from the oil companies for the people! That would harm people's retirement funds! They might be able to only afford two homes!"
Meanwhile, Poilievre: "Same old Liberals. Tax and spend. Are they supposed to NOT take profit from their labour?"
Their profits?
THEIR profits? So...they privately educated every one of their workers from birth, did they? Provided them health care all their lives? Gave them roads to bring their products to market on? Police to keep their property safe? Fire services, same reason? They did all that privately? Well, braVO, oil companies, aren't you amazing?
Except we know they didn't. Every dollar they made comes from the people of Canada. It's OUR oil, not theirs. It's OUR pipelines (ugh) they're using to ship their filth out and have it burned to kill my grandkids' planet.
It's OUR roads they drive on, OUR inspectors who make sure their workplace is safe, that their vehicles work properly, our courts that enforce their rights. EVERYTHING THEY HAVE is from the people of Canada.
If they can't give a single dollar of their profits up, they should be hospitalised for psych eval. They are clearly driven mad with greed, and are a danger to society.
Oh, wait, is that something we only do to queer people and unhoused people and Indigenous people and Black people and...well, poor folk?
Okay then. I see your priorities, Messrs Carney and Poilievre. I see you.
