In my latest column for @Bruegel_org I argue that, on tech regulation, the EU should stop apologising and go on the offensive.

The case for EU regulation killing innovation (as recently put forward by the US) is weak.

(happy to engage, on bluesky)

Slowly but happily migrating to bluesky…

From 24.20, I say: narrative path-dependency extends also to industry and MS. They repeat the same mantra since years.

Instead of shooting at merger policy, telecoms (with cross-border M&A) and MS (spectrum) should work for a EU-wide market.

Suicide rates give the pulse of societies’ most structural issues.

A compelling layer of analysis is gender: across **all** cultures, males are much more likely to commit suicide than females

Big news: as of September, I left the @EU_Commission to pursue my research and study interests.

I will continue my teaching with @collegeofeurope and re-start collaborating with @Bruegel_org on a Non-Resident Fellowship basis.

...and pursue a BA in Philosophy @HIW_KULeuven

@DigitalMarioM wrote an opinion piece arguing that we should be concerned about the bias embedded in artificial intelligence. He says that "Biases are not only embedded in the design of the algorithm. They are also external to it, originating in societal biases."

But how can we tackle it? Find out by clicking the link here: https://t.co/AFWMnX7r3J

Wanna know about EU Digital Policy? In this @coenatolin podcast we talk about AI, competition, digital inclusion, skills, sustainability…

It’s a good glimpse at my book (👇🏼) and, above all, it’s fun!

Thanks Lamia and @collegeofeurope !

Dovremmo domandarci, che cosa ne stiamo facendo di questa libertà?

Le parole di Piantedosi sono ignobili. Stupisce la pochezza dell’uomo. E ci ricorda che, per quanto alta sia, la carica rivestita in sé dica poco o niente dello spessore intellettuale di chi la ricopre.

[Mario Mariniello @DigitalMarioM]

@maria_savona @Bruegel_org Thanks Maria - insightful indeed!

[Mario Mariniello @DigitalMarioM]

A great new project by @Bruegel_org to monitor labor markets’ dynamics at the interplay with technology. Super useful!

🚨NEW DATASET

Curious as to how the uptake and inequalities of telework have evolved in previous years? 💻

Bruegel has published a new dataset dashboard which aims to answer this question. Here are some interesting findings🧵👇

Ukrainian Lithuanian day at the @coenatolin - President Zielinski addressing questions from students.

Really proud to be part of the College of Europe!

@SamuelStolton @1Br0wn @sven_giegold You are right, but it depends on how the market is defined. Anecdotal evidence suggests categories of commentators are unable to find alternative outlets

Something tells me that, in the latest round of layoffs, Twitter got rid of any sensible competition lawyer in the company...

[AFP News Agency @AFP]

In the latest policy change at Twitter under controversial new owner Elon Musk, the platform announced Sunday that users would no longer be allowed to promote their accounts on a host of other social media sites, including Facebook and Instagram

Hang-on, isn't this a clear potential antitrust infringement?

from @POLITICOEurope:

"The account of Mastodon, a Twitter competitor, was also suspended on Thursday".

[Mario Mariniello @DigitalMarioM]

@jcremer True - but to have such effect, you still need a concerted action, I believe... ;-)

[Mario Mariniello @DigitalMarioM]

Seems to me that everyone's reaction to Twitter's new policy has been: let's go somewhere else.

There are better, realistic and effective ways to express criticism.

Coordinate a regular Twitter-strike e.g.

**no-tweet Mondays**

[Mario Mariniello @DigitalMarioM]

If she/he/it says so...

[Mario Mariniello @DigitalMarioM]

5/ I am guessing this is consistent with @elonmusk idea of freedom of expression?

@porcarorama @SamuelStolton @ThierryBreton @PaulNemitz @vestager @VeraJourova @Floridi @TomValletti @ProfFionasm @jcremer @lewis_crofts @chrisbruegel and many others... - views?

[Mario Mariniello @DigitalMarioM]

4/ I propose No-Tweet-Mondays; it could be another day.

I also proposed a banner; surely someone can come up with something better.

Twitter employees could also join: eg slow down procedures etc.

all it takes is a concerted action - feel free to share / suggest alternatives
