Last month, @thorstenbenner & I argued that Europe should update its Internet foreign policy: https://t.co/49xbcmRQ0X

@NewAmCyber just launched a useful & complimentary framework on how different internet policy principles interact with each other: https://t.co/HJRjdKUMyh

[New America Cyber @NewAmCyber]

The U.S. and liberal-democratic world must craft coherent international internet policy. But first, policymakers must understand the tensions between the principles that have driven internet policy for a decade. We crafted a framework for just that: https://t.co/t0B7pTEBau

The final @CNAStech #AI report is here! Check out what @paul_scharre, @EBKania, @Gregory_C_Allen, and @mchorowitz recommend for the US to prepare for the challenges and opportunities posed by advances in #AI: https://t.co/IvuLiwUkzG

@gwbstr I wish they’d had the decency to put it that way in Germany, too

[Mark Scott @markscott82]

.@google's CEO responds to @Android fine: "Today’s decision rejects the business model that supports Android, which has created more choice for everyone, not less. We intend to appeal." https://t.co/MoZfN4ScQj

[Mirko Hohmann @mirkohohmann]

Today, the German cabinet agreed on the cornerstones of its #AI strategy. In a daring move, the government wants to establish Germany as "the globally leading marketplace for AI.“ How to get there will be decided later. https://t.co/nqm3ExWGeR

[Steffen Seibert @RegSprecherStS]

Künstliche Intelligenz #KI durchdringt immer mehr Lebensbereiche und ist ein wichtiger Faktor für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Bis Herbst will die Bundesregierung eine Gesamtstrategie vorlegen. Dazu hat das #Kabinett heute Eckpunkte beschlossen. https://t.co/UaKZeOFVxf

[Mirko Hohmann @mirkohohmann]

The fine might get most attention, but
1) with €90bn in cash reserves, it won't hurt much, and
2) Google will appeal, the money won't flow for years.

More important: It'll hit Google's business model if it needs to change the practice of forcing Google apps on Android users. https://t.co/2lcG2aI5E7

[Bloomberg @business]

Google is expected to get a record antitrust fine of $5 billion from the European Commission following a probe into concerns over Android apps, sources say https://t.co/F3PdbaWPYc

Voila - Trump trying to go back on-script, one day later. Here my piece on how the two presidents went off-script: https://t.co/enT1LUuS6w https://t.co/Vwgxj2PA6E

[Mirko Hohmann @mirkohohmann]

In light of today‘s indictment, media outlets need to reflect on their reporting to see where they - wittingly or not - worked with GRU material as source and how to work with leaked information in the future
https://t.co/41s5oHwbPg

[Thorsten Benner @thorstenbenner]

So the leaked Email that is basis of this @DerSPIEGEL article is likely from an #APT28 Russian hack into UN email system.
If that's true: it's a case of utter irresponsibility for @DerSPIEGEL not to name source in article

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Statement from the GRU, right on time. 👇 https://t.co/5IfI62e8w9

[Mirko Hohmann @mirkohohmann]

Including info on the Russians‘ search records and their bitcoin mining operations to fund domains and servers. https://t.co/TQr3RpcPMH

[KELLY COHEN @ByKellyCohen]

BREAKING- special robert mueller indicts 12 russian nationals for hacking of DCCC, DNC & hilary clinton’s presidential campaign, and releasing it as DCleaks and guccifer 2.0

The internet has gotten a bad rap lately... but online hobbyists can help reaffirm your faith in it https://t.co/gWcia8T40p

"One of the reasons internet freedom seems so imperiled is because it has been measured using an unrealistic baseline." https://t.co/1N2ReKr7zz

[GPPi @GPPi]

Successfully competing with authoritarian states’ model of internet governance requires us to point to the long-term costs of a “closed & unfree” internet, argue @thorstenbenner & @MirkoHohmann in a new study: https://t.co/Yxfa6Luy45

[Mirko Hohmann @mirkohohmann]

China's #Panopticon Approach: They might not catch everything, but "the whole point is that people don’t know if they’re being monitored, and that uncertainty makes people more obedient” https://t.co/bWzoHqlw01

[Mirko Hohmann @mirkohohmann]

Chinas Ministerpräsident Li Keqiang geht vor seinem Staatsbesuch auf Deutschland zu und erhofft sich eine innovative Zusammenarbeit von der beide Seiten profitieren sollen. Wenn das nur alles so stimmen würde: https://t.co/QdGhoA07Ii

[Mirko Hohmann @mirkohohmann]

A passionate defense of Big Tech. Raises several arguments relevant in the conversation on anti-trust/competition law. Yet labeling @linamkhan & others as "tech populists" & "ISP haters" is just an unnecessary, cheap shot. https://t.co/Aqv60mtZRV

[Information Technology and Innovation Foundation @ITIFdc]

Breaking up Big Tech or reconstituting Big Broadband as a public utility would grievously wound the U.S. information technology and communications ecosystem, which is otherwise the envy of the world. https://t.co/yz9YUQCr20

[Marietje Schaake @MarietjeSchaake]

European Parliament rejects negotiation on #copyright on JURI position and takes chance to negotiate a more broadly supported compromise 💪🏻

[GPPi @GPPi]

Western liberal democracies can uphold a ‘free & open’ internet in the face of competing authoritarian models, but need to update their narrative to avoid charges of hypocrisy, argue @ThorstenBenner & @MirkoHohmann in a new report: https://t.co/Yxfa6Luy45

[Thorsten Benner @thorstenbenner]

Responsible regulation at home, countering the authoritarian model & making fragmentation work: Europe can lead the way on updating what promoting a "free & open" internet can & should mean today, @mirkohohmann & I argue in a new @GPPi study
