More shady practices to try to save themselves. Let's hope it won't work.

Definitely this. Sure we should seek for decentralization, but this is not going to happen or be effective without regulation. Ensuring privacy is a legislative and political problem as much as a technical one.

This is clearly less high profile than the Scarlett Johanssen vs OpenAI one. Still this shows it has the potential to become a widespread (even though shady) practice. This might need some regulation fairly soon.

This is a good initiative. It makes no sense for Oracle to still cling onto JavaScript has a trademark.

This is bad. There was no way to know the book was AI generated and clearly it contained errors and lies.

This is really bad news... Clearly the publishers cartel would try to outlaw libraries if they were invented today.

Yes, such an arrest is concerning. Now, lots of people are voicing the wrong concerns... this article actually does a good job explaining it.

Of course it sounds complicated to break Google up... but that's not the point. It's about avoiding its monopolistic position, the fact that it's complicated is just another symptom.

Interesting guesses at what could change with the Google ruling. It doesn't look too good for Mozilla.

Looks like the US Department of Justice is back pushing for antitrust trials. This is likely a good thing, will it go all the way to breaking down some of the big tech companies? I doubt it but it'd probably be welcome.

The European Commission starts showing it's muscles. Twitter is an obvious one to pursue since it became the X cesspool.

It's time to push European governments to abandon this nonsense.

This is become an important industry. Regulation is needed to avoid consumers to be in a mouse trap. This is necessary to reap the benefits of those technologies.

Very neat piece, shows quite well the problems with Chat Control like laws. It's been postponed this time, but expect it to comeback somehow.

Very interesting piece. The chances that it is another bubble are high. It's currently surviving on a lot of wishful thinking and hypothetical. This really feels like borrowed time... I wonder what useful will remain once it all collapses. Coding assistants are very likely to survive. Clearly there could be interesting uses in a more sober approach.

This is a worrying trend we see in law enforcement a bit everywhere. It's a bit too convenient to make such requests even though it is unconstitutional.

It's not the regulation which brings the banners, it's the company insisting on tracking us.

This is a nice ruling about GPL violation in France. Gives some more weight to the GPL.

Looks like enough people complained that they had to change course. Good, until the next bad move...

A good exploration of the Fediverse to Bluesky bridging debate from the angle of consent and the GDPR. It's complicated and that shouldn't come as unexpected.
