As a Finn, I’m having hard time to believe this reporting comes from Washington Post. In Finland the Eagle S case is still being investigated as crime and officials don’t even bother to comment this nonsense. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Tech giants told UK online safety laws ‘not up for negotiation’ Senior cabinet minister promises not to dilute new measures despite Musk comments and Zuckerberg’s attacks on countries ‘censoring’ content

Interesting to see what’s coming, beyond this familiar framing: ’This week’s launch of the government’s AI action plan will seek to encourage tech investment in the UK by pitching the country as less regulated than the EU and well placed to host development.’ www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Fantastic, looking forward to it!

I wish more would be written about this modern day diplomacy. Please share with me some links if there are some good ones.

I wish everyone in Europe would listen to this. It disturbs me in many levels. About Nato, EU. Maybe most importantly how it pictures this time where these modern day kings —podcasters, social media and tech leaders— are seeing that its their role to settle wars between nations.
