@YossiGestetner @WiredSources @AviFollman @TwitterSupport @Twitter @jack @NickPacilio I’ve been saying for a few years now that HARD CENSORSHIP would inevitably come into play.

@YossiGestetner @WiredSources @AviFollman @TwitterSupport @Twitter @jack @NickPacilio The power of propaganda was being diluted by free and open dialogue, our would be masters are pissed about that so they are using economic pressure to cause ALL social media platforms to implement hard censorship. Even with their untold billions, they can’t compete on the level.

Morning campers! I’ll be live-tweeting from the European Court of Justice today about @Google’s “Right to be Forgotten” hearing.
What’s the main point? Should Europe (or France’s #privacy regulator) be able to apply its rules over the internet worldwide.

A recap:
La Vanguardia, a Spanish newspaper, published records in the late 1990s detailing the debt delinquencies of Mario Costeja.
About a decade later, Costeja sued, saying that the publication breached his right to privacy.

After a lengthy legal dispute, the case was referred to the ECJ which, in 2014, ruled that individuals had the right to ask that search engines like @Google remove links (but not the underlying webpages) from search results

The bank deregulation bill that President Trump signed last week could not have come at a better time for Warren Buffet’s mobile home empire 👉 Berkshire Hathaway manufactures 52% all mobile homes in 🇺🇸, up from 13% in 2003 when he purchased the company. #antitrust
An illusion of choice exists in mobile home showrooms 👉 Schult Homes, Karsten Homes, Golden West Home, Cavalier Homes, Buccaneer Homes, Giles Homes, Norris Homes, SEhomes, Marlette Homes, Crest Homes are all owned by Buffet under the Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary Clayton Homes.
Not only does Clayton Homes dominate the manufacturing of mobile 🏠, it is also vertically integrated. It sells, finances, leases and insurers many of the 🏠. Paint and carpet in many of the homes also come from other Buffett owned entities: Benjamin Moore and Shaw Industries

The first @AntitrustCaucus briefing will focus on the impact of economic concentration on racial and gender inequality: 
The briefing panelists include @Sally_Hubbard, @NellAbernathy, Seema Nanda of @civilrightsorg, Prof. Marcellus Andrews of @BucknellU, and @DiBartz of @Rueters, who will moderate the panel.
Over the past several decades, waves of mergers coupled with lax antitrust enforcement have led to excessive concentration and market power across the economy. economist.com/news/briefing/…
