I agree that this is what EU should do now. "#EU [should] ..start seriously addressing our dependency on Big Tech and invest in real alternative models and services." "public funds.. must be reserved for open digital infrastructure, software, hardware and standards."

This is bad for a ton of reasons, but... it also will totally fuck over Meta. Because the (already) very weak rationale for allowing trans-Atlantic data flows from EU users to US company servers hinges on the existence of the PCLOB. So for all of Zuck's suck-up to Trump, this is going to hurt him.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.
