The DMA was supposed to move fast. Big Tech is betting regulators won’t.
The principles are right: stop gatekeepers from rigging markets, protect competitors, and give small businesses a fair shot. Now the EU needs to enforce them like it means it. 💪🏼

As the EU’s landmark Big Tech law enters its third year, a growing chorus of voices are raising concerns that the tool is too slow and unwieldy.

Since the start of his second term, Trump has been aggressively pushing federal agencies to embrace AI.
His financial disclosure may reveal why: Trump himself has invested millions into AI companies over the past year. https://t.co/gT8gOcGFCc
Big Tech’s ties to President Trump’s ballroom deserve real scrutiny.
@SenWarren raised the alarm. Now @demandprogress is calling on Congress to investigate.
Add your voice ✍️
Why are giant corporations like Google, Amazon, Palantir, Microsoft and Lockheed Martin (who all have business with the government) handing Trump ballroom money? The public deserves a full investigation.
As Europe continues to attempt a Big Tech break-up, countries like France, which developed its own video conferencing platform, are leading the charge. 🇪🇺

France is already moving on from Zoom and Microsoft Teams in favor of homegrown alternatives. Other countries are quickly following suit. https://t.co/MrHJ9JGDbQ
The Musk-OpenAI trial wasn’t technically an antitrust case.
But it had antitrust written all over it: Big Tech, cloud dependence, and the fight over who controls AI’s future. ⚖️

Opinion: The Elon Musk-OpenAI trial won’t determine the future of AI, but it offered an early and uncensored view of the forces that will. https://t.co/o3IIzvSqhX
Before he entered the White House, President Trump was a real-estate speculator. Lately, his fortune has been wagered on some Big Tech stocks. See the trades in charts. https://t.co/ByQfwIWbRM
Big Tech is jamming AI into every corner of our lives with little accountability and even fewer guardrails.
Congress needs to step up. 🏛️

“When no innovator can survive without an established monopoly’s blessing,” we don’t have a competitive tech market. We have gatekeepers deciding who gets to exist. 💯
Great writeup from @guardian on Mordecai Kurz’s latest book ⬇️

A Gallup poll found that seven out of 10 Americans said they would oppose a data center being built near them.
Opposition is so intense, the poll found, that more Americans would rather live near a nuclear power plant than a data center. https://t.co/I7zBGErqlP
Big Tech tried its usual playbook in Brazil: lobbying and scare tactics, but Brazilian regulators are unphased.
Google’s AI summaries are now under investigation for potential unfair competition against the press.
More of this, please. 💯

Microsoft made a “moonshot” energy renewal goal it hoped to fulfill by 2030. Then came data centers.
Now, Microsoft says the “moon has gotten further away.” 🤦🏻♂️

The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) once comprised distinguished doctors, scientists, and academics.
