A new interim report by UK competition regulators finds that Google and Facebook hold dominant positions in search, social and digital ads — hardly surprising, but it foreshadows a bigger push to regulate those companies across the pond: https://t.co/tVhuANgxAw — PolitiTweet.org

Mozilla has asked the DC Circuit to rehear the case on #netneutrality, suggesting that the judges who reluctantly decided for the FCC's deregulation didn't have to read Brand X the way they did. This could set up another renewed court fight over the open internet. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexParkerDC Then again, politicians in Star Trek could just as well ask the same of those they represent. What do *they* do all day? Come to think of it, since everyone is just doing what they really want to be doing, I’d bet constituents don’t really think much about their pols at all. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
@AlexParkerDC Perhaps. I guess if your representative has less to do because there’s no longer a need to tax and spend, then you might reasonably ask what the heck your pol does all day. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexParkerDC In a post-scarcity world, I’d imagine a lot of the bickering and horse-trading inherent to politics would probably be mitigated. — PolitiTweet.org

Jack’s tweet raises two separate Qs: 1) Why are some platforms motivated now to push for protocols? 2) Might an internet of mostly protocols be better than an internet of private platforms? The answer to 2) could be yes, even if 1) is “they’re doing it for the wrong reasons." — PolitiTweet.org

In his remarks, Barr teased a forthcoming workshop on 230 and said it’s let Big Tech “absolve themselves completely of responsibility for policing their platforms, while blocking or removing third party speech, including political speech, selectively and with impunity.” — PolitiTweet.org

Fun to see Sen. Hawley adopt the same position as tech when it comes to the argument about weakened encryption potentially giving foreign adversaries a leg up. Makes sense given his criticism of China but it’s a strange bedfellows moment for sure. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
As Sen. Ernst and others press tech companies on how encryption could shield child sexual abusers, it’s fascinating to note the overlaps here with the debate over content moderation. Facebook defends itself here by referring to the thousands of content reviewers it’s hired. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Interesting. Facebook is making a version of the argument it puts forward on tech regulation more broadly: Crack down on encryption in the US and users will flee to foreign messaging alternatives that don’t respect US laws — making it even harder for law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org
