This! Pivotal reading on how serious the situation for #science is in the US and how much #openaccess is needed to help safeguard #research results. And yes, it is a lot worse (already) than I thought it was. www.zbw-mediatalk.eu/2025/04/pete...

We need robust, competitive Europe-based alternatives to Google, Microsoft, etc. They dominate way too much of the market, and therefore our lives, and they're becoming greedier, more unethical, and less reliable by the day.
