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.

Looks like good progress has been made. A few more adjustments would be welcome before it gets ratified.

Very interesting ruling, this opens the door to more parties being able to sue to enforce the GPL not just the authors.

How does it feel to just want to put something creative out there without being exploited? Very touching comic on the topic.

Very welcome complaont, Meta is trying to workaround the GDPR to increase paid accounts. Can only hope they get fined and that this shady practice disappear (they're not the only ones doing this).

The current compromise might not be as bad as anticipated. Some things could be improved still. The community needs to be involved in the process.

It was only a question of time until we'd see such lawsuits appear. We'll see where this one goes.

There will be an appeal but this is an important ruling already.
