Anyone who thinks that Britain is being run by elected politicians needs to read this (short though it is)
Private interests - be that Meta or Blair and his backers are supreme. Parliament has been corrupted - Blair and Clegg are part of that corruption
Why so tetchy Cleggy?
I read #Clegg’s latest bid to redeem himself (there is a huge swathe of Millennials (and others) who I assume are never forgiving him and the Lib Dems for getting into bed with the Tories)…and remembered that his perspective on life comes from studying anthropology at Cambridge.
He thinks he’s giving an objective account of the Silicon Valley Tech Bro tribe…by having lived among them. Maybe he just needs to rewatch Mean Girls and recognise his character. As if…
Further evidence that a predominant system of political communication is no longer appropriately run as a private company, but rather should be run as a utility — so there is indeed democratic legitimacy to such necessary decisions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #clegg #AIEthics #DSA #DMA

#clegg betrayed students in the UK and his party was punished for that.
No doubt he doesn't really care about permission.
Large tech companies have a policy to try to screw everyone over. If there is any lawsuit, invariably it results in peanuts being paid so these companies don't really care about occasionally paying a fine or another...
How many times have tech companies been prosecuted cause of privacy issues and they keep repeating the same error over and over again?

As if we in the #EU needed any further evidence that British exceptionalism, delusion, ignorance and arrogance are still going strong, almost 10 years post Brexit referendum, Nick effing #Clegg rehashes British cakeism in the most unserious, megalomaniacal way possible.
The Oberserver's *justification" for publishing such BS speaks volumes to their rapid downfall.
In Scotland, a #clegg is a horsefly.
A biting insect to be swatted away.

Nick Clegg, Britain's gift to the world.
"Now that the time period of the suspension has elapsed, the question is not whether we choose to reinstate Mr Trump’s accounts but whether there remain such extraordinary circumstances that extending the suspension beyond the original two-year period is justified."
President of Meta board Nick Clegg lets Trump back on Facebook.
Soooo, #Fediverse , what do we think about #trump ‘s reinstatement on #Facebook and #Instagram? I think Nick #Clegg has been cowed by legal threats and he’s just as spineless as #Republicans in #congress. #Meta sucks.

Facebook has beefed up its ‘oversight board’, but any new powers are illusory

Forget the furore over Trump - Facebook is interested only in maintaining its monopoly

Dédiée au leader de l’ANC Nelson Mandela, à l’époque emprisonné depuis 24 ans, "Asimbonanga" est une de ces rares chansons qui font l’histoire. Portrait de son auteur et chanteur récemment décédé, Johnny Clegg, qui fit de la lutte contre l’apartheid en Afrique du Sud un combat.

"Facebook hires Nick Clegg as head of global affairs". But of course, why not. He was the perfect con man, the one that gathered an incredible turnout of liberal votes and delivered them right into the hands of the Tories. He is perfect to screw over a few more million people, after convincing them they have been heard. #clegg #brexit #tories
