three major developments over the past day demonstrate how #Europe seeks to shape the global #Internet. if you only focus on US reg, dominated by politics & not law, you’re missing a major part of the action.

Today, @CER_EU publishes my piece on #Brexit and #JHA. I have been looking at this for 1,5 years so I hope I did not make too many mistakes (links to piece - cer.eu/publications/a… and opens thread)
At the outset of the #Brexit process, most people assumed that a deal on #police and #judicial co-operation was easier to get than one on #trade. Time has shown this is not the case. Ongoing co-op on #JHA is one of the few items yet to be agreed on #withdrawal deal. Why?
Well, because the #EU and #UK's opening positions in the #negotiation are incompatible: Britain wants a #bespoke agreement with the EU, a la #Schengen, but is not willing to accept #ECJ or #EUCharter. EU wants to replicate existing models. What to do?
#EuropeanParliament is questioning #Zuckerberg about #Facebook. I hope they ask about the following events. ❓👇 Thread on #Russian #oligarchs investments. @WendySiegelman @dcpoll @grantstern @patrickLSimpson @TrickFreee @J_amesp
1. Zuckerberg and Milner are good friends. Zuckerberg attended Milner’s wedding in California late in 2011. They also advise each other on philanthropic ventures. theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/…
2. One of the major investors in Facebook is a Russian company run by two oligarchs close to Putin. In 2009, Digital Sky Technologies (DST Global) was set up by Yuri Milner and Alisher Usmanov.
