"The AI & Big Tech industries’ will to power is among the proximate causes of the US’s accelerating descent into autocracy. “AI” is both the motivation and the instrument of authoritarian consolidation."
Remarkable summation of the situation and the stakes by @MarechalPhD in TechPolicy.press.

Trump took 17 CEOs to China. We mapped who actually needs Beijing — and the answer isn't who you'd guess.
Qualcomm pulls 46% of revenue from China. The most exposed company on the plane.
Tesla, Apple, and Nvidia all carry significant China revenue too.
Meta? Lobbies harder than anyone on that flight — with near-zero China revenue.#TrumpChina #ChinaDelegation #BigTech #Qualcomm #Meta #Lobbying #TechPolicy #CEOs #USChina #AirForceOne

A federal judge is weighing whether to block a Trump administration policy that can deny visas to people accused of pushing “content moderation” policies on US tech platforms. Researchers say the rule is already chilling speech and academic work.

SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: European Union May Ban Social Media for Young Children and Teens
Source: United Press International - Health News
The European Union is considering a ban on social media for children, EU President Ursula Von der Leyen announced Tuesday. Von der Leyen said that the bloc will take action this fall against the "addictive design" of certain platforms. The EU has created what she called a "Special Panel of Experts on Child Safety Online" and is awaiting findings from its work. "Depending on the results, we could come with a legal proposal this summer," she...

Ah, the #EU, ever vigilant in its quest to quash the villainous #VPN scourge! 🦸♂️ Because obviously, the real issue with age verification isn't the parents, the ISPs, or the lack of coherent policy—it's those pesky tech-savvy teens and their unholy VPNs! 🕵️♀️🌐

great breakdown of Sony's compliance with Online Safety Act's ID verification requirement (because it should be called for what it is) and awful choice of provider https://youtu.be/BU7NIVWJigM
one thing missed: as far as I understand, Sony's "age verification" by phone number is deceptive bc it clearly states that it'll use "owner of the phone contract" details. which means PAYG SIM card owners are locked out.

AI isn’t just changing technology, it’s reshaping everyday life. It can widen the gap between rich and poor by automating routine roles like data entry and manufacturing while funneling investment and control to a few large firms, fuel geopolitical tensions as countries race for advantage, and make careers less stable. When money and power concentrate, communities face social strain, higher costs, and slower growth. CW: inequality #AI #Inequality #FutureOfWork #TechPolicy

📋 Apple at a regulatory crossroads: voluntary ESG commitments are giving way to mandatory, auditable compliance across the EU, US, and Asia-Pacific. The DMA, CSRD, and privacy regimes create cost pressures — but could also reinforce Apple's competitive moat. Deep dive on what this means for $AAPL.

Cities aren't just installing parking apps. They are signing contracts that outsource surveillance to the private sector.
When you pay for street parking, you aren't just paying the city. You're paying a data broker.
The ecosystem looks like this:
Vendor collects GPS, plate, payment.
Broker aggregates it with shopping/browsing data.

perhaps now, with RightsCon conference being cancelled due to standard CCP tricks of delegitimising Taiwanese sovereignty, those who call for ally/partner with PRC due to "new world order" (whether they're politicians, activists, human rights advocates) will begin to realise that cozying up to totalitarian states is a short-sighted approach, to put it mildly...

Ever notice how physical parking meters are disappearing? Replaced by QR codes and mandatory app downloads?
That's not just modernization. It's coerced consent.
When a city outsources parking to private vendors, they're outsourcing surveillance. You're handing over location data, device IDs, and payment info just to occupy public space.
We cover the risks, breaches, and how to protect yourself without getting towed.

Beijing ordered Meta to unwind its $2.5B Manus acquisition just months after closing, setting a weeks-long deadline. The deal was already integrated into Meta's AI organization, making the technical rollback complex. Founders remain in China and barred from leaving. Suggests the Singapore redomiciliation route for Chinese AI deals may be closing. #AI #TechPolicy #China

Beijing blocked Meta's $2.5 billion Manus acquisition on national security grounds, giving the companies weeks to unwind the December deal. The challenge: Meta already integrated Manus staff and technology into its AI operations. China classified Manus as Chinese despite Singapore incorporation, signaling redomiciliation may not shield AI deals from regulatory reach.

"The overwhelming push underscores the powerful #lobbying machine the world’s biggest tech companies have assembled to kill off bills that pose a threat to their business, in particular in the most populous state, where new #laws could force national or global changes."
