Dec. 18 will mark the enforcement of a new law aimed at curtailing the dominance of technology giants and fostering competition in the Japanese market. How far is the law going, and what will change for consumers? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/15/tech/new-smartphone-law/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #android #apple #apps #bigtech #iphones #phones #tech #google

Europas Wirtschaft macht sich digital abhängig – von Cloud über KI bis Kommunikation.
Das ist bequem, aber strategisch riskant, gerade in geopolitisch unsicheren Zeiten.
Dabei hätte Deutschland mit seiner starken Open-Source-Community echte Alternativen.
Warum nutzen wir dieses Potenzial so selten – und was können wir von anderen Ländern lernen?

Her i dag åbner jeg messenger på min bærbare, og vupti - Messenger til bærbar er udfaset, skriver de, jeg kan bruge facebook app i stedet, hvilket jeg ikke ønsker da jeg overhovedet ikke bruger facebook, har ikke en konto der.
Så ud af det blå har jeg mistet kontakten til 10 jeg kender. Forleden sendte min veninde hendes mobil nummer og adresse, men jeg kan ikke engang se historik nu.
Søgte lige og tilsyneladende findes der stadig messenger til android, men den ønsker jeg ikke bruge.
@pernillet Will the #eu follow #australia that wants that search engines like #google needs to verify your #ID With also #chatcontrol #bigtech #usa is getting more and more data of #eu citizens. We are being sold out. End of human life. We will be like #zombies
@kev al those #bigtech scumbag billionaires resemble those leech bats from #strangerthings in #theupsidedown you have to beat them off you with rowing paddles and they still return for seconds. Be gone you vile depraved creatures!
Endlich sind erste, von mir 📷 geschossene Fotos gerahmt und bald an der Wand; im nächsten Jahr kommen weitere dazu.
Leider musste ich feststellen, das ich viel zu wenig gute 📷 aus der Sparte #Netzpolitik habe.🙄😐
Wann gibt es denn mal wieder Großdemonstrationen wie vom einstigen Bündnis (nicht der heutige Verein!) #FsA rund um #AKVorrat, #CCC, #Foebud #Digitalcourage etc?
👉 Die Zeit könnte doch gar nicht dringlicher sein??!

Il collettivo Brandalism di artisti attivisti hanno violato 100 siti pubblicitari in tutta Londra in una protesta coordinata contro l’elusione fiscale di grandi aziende tecnologiche.
"Google ha evitato centinaia di milioni in tasse nel Regno Unito. Non è ora che il governo li obblighi a pagare la loro giusta quota?"

To all #EU and nation state #politicians: When you keep supporting #American #bigtech #bigfinance #bigpharma #DefenseIndustry and #VentureCapital from oligarch billionaires it is like ‘paying a sociopath to kill your first born baby over and over again’.
Stop the madness! Stop the Americans (and Chinese) from owning every business and thus owning us. #Nationalize key infrastructure immediately and start taxing #BigEverything hard
> #SWR1 Leute: #MartinAndree | #Medienwissenschaftler | Wohin führen #Trump und #BigTech die USA? | #SWR1Leute
Der Medienwissenschaftler Prof. Martin Andree ist sowas wie der Mann der Stunde. Er forscht und lehrt an der #UniversitätKöln schon seit mehr als 15 Jahren zur Dominanz von "Big-Tech". Also dazu, wie die #TechGiganten aus den USA den Datenverkehr im Netz kontrollieren und digitale #Monopole geschaffen haben.

…Also don’t underestimate the 1 trilion dollar yearly revenues the #Microsoft Partner ecosystem is making in Europe alone. That is a powerful lobby… sorry it has to end!
Start doing #OSS now as there lies a free and glorious future. (Free as in ‘no balls and chains from US #bigtech ‘)
The Walt Disney Company has formalized a major licensing agreement with OpenAI, integrating over 200 iconic characters into the Sora video model.
This landmark deal sets a crucial precedent for managed IP integration in generative AI workflows.

"OpenAI shortened its vesting period for new employees to six months from the industry standard of 12 months in April. Elon Musk’s xAI, an OpenAI competitor, made a similar change in the late summer, people familiar with the change said.
XAI didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The decision to loosen or do away with restrictions meant to ensure new hires stick around reflects the frenzied competition for top-tier technical talent within the AI industry. Tech companies typically have a one-year vesting cliff for new employees, preventing them from having to give away stock to hires who leave quickly or don’t work out.
But with AI companies including Meta Platforms, Google and Anthropic wooing top researchers with pay packages that can be worth $100 million or more, researchers and engineers have been able to hold out for the most-attractive terms, and in many cases have been quick to leave jobs they have found not to their liking.
OpenAI is already doling out far more stock-based compensation than other tech companies, owing to an intense talent war it is waging with its competitors. The company expects to spend $6 billion this year on such costs—almost half of its projected revenue—according to financial documents sent to investors over the summer and viewed by The Wall Street Journal."

As #Poland is now enacting the EU #DSA into its law, there’s a significant outcry about “censorship” from some political groups… and, of course, the usual #BigTech suspects - #Facebook and #Twitter. Just like the infamous Rubio statement about what these companies were really fined for by EU (for mass-scale scams, not opposition to “censorship”), the censorship argument in DSA is a complete manipulation.
I have many friends who work in incident response, fraud prevention in Poland (and elsewhere) and they seem to be absolutely disgusted by the scale to which these platforms became literally facilitators of the crime, protecting scammers rather than their victims. Here’s what one of them just wrote on LinkedIn:
Why does Facebook, in its business model, consciously profit from scams that are advertised? Why do they accept money from criminals who steal from platform users?
The same Facebook recently banned posts in which CERT Polska and others (including me) warned about the filth pouring into the feed on this portal. They made a silly excuse that ‘it’s the algorithms’…
Here, as a reminder, is a post that quickly disappeared from Facebook for a long time. https://cert.pl/posts/2024/11/Oszustwa-reklamowe-na-duzych-platformach/
So just to reiterate: you can report obvious scams on Facebook as much as you like, but they’re almost never deleted. But then a Polish CERT (computer incident response organisation) posts a warning about scams to Facebook users and Facebook moderation jumps on it in an instant, hiding that post from everyone.
And that’s precisely why not only EU but every country protecting its citizens needs law like DSA.
P.S. on my last visit to Poland I, as usual, had to remove a ton of spyware from my mom’s laptop. She spends plenty of time on Facebook and it’s always “the computer told me I need to install updates”, meaning of course the scam pretending to be Windows messages displayed right in her Faceboook feed.
für alle #Medien|vertreter und demokratischen #Politiker gab es zuletzt auch noch einen anderen wichtigen Hinweis zur Nutzung von #X, den ich persönlich auch auf #Bigtech Plattformen erweitern würde:

Interesting perspective on the tech business (the interview is in EN)
And the last 2 minutes are so damn right and important for Europe. Have a ear.
