my debut in the Orange County Register on EU’s Digital Services Act:
“With no First Amendment-like protections, we know the censorious demands of European officials will soon swallow entire budgets of US tech firms to comply, money that’d otherwise be used to deliver value for users…
We know that each platform has the ability to moderate or censor as they see fit, but this is usually done by internal policies and codes that users voluntarily accept, not reaction to a policeman holding the regulatory baton.”
