Brazil’s Digital Agenda is a first step toward tackling concentrated digital markets, writes Paulo Henrique de Oliveira, chief of staff at the Tribunal of CADE, the Brazilian competition authority. The competition bill isn’t a final answer—but it’s the start of building fairer institutions, he says.

People should NOT be counting on equity in their houses for retirement.

Houses should never have been considered as financial investments, that's a key reason we're in this housing crisis.

We really need to fundamentally rewire the way we run this market economy.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

A BBC spokesperson now says they will offer to interview Zack Polanski on the Laura Kuenssberg show "in the coming weeks" after cancelling their planned interview with him during the Green Party conference.

Requests for an interview following his election as Green leader were also denied

Zack on Bold Politics podium

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

"INSPIRE"

gosh, is it possible to find any Rust developer postion that is NOT related to crypto?? 🤯

same with them trying to appease anti-migrant bigots

they can think up unimaginable cruel policies and still Daily Mail will be accusing them of favouring migrants and despising English as "racists"

Sky News V news @SkyNews X.com Israel's deputy foreign minister has launched a scathing attack on the UK government, accusing it of a "grotesque betrayal of truth, of justice and of Britain's Jewish community".

It’s grimly amusing how this government incurred horrible political damage toeing the US line on the genocide, to the point where ministers will be twitchy about going through customs for the rest of their lives, and their reward is far right wingnuts and fascists screaming abuse at them.

Robot personhood/rights is conceptually bogus and legally puts more power/rights in the hands of those that develop and deploy robots/AI systems

se seguirem o exemplo do RefUK no Reino Unido, vai ser uma catástrofe atrás de outra: além de preconceituosos, são um bando de amadores

immigrants are the perfect punching bag

- historically easy to blame on anything
- not entitled to vote

low cost targets for demagoges

Labour and the Tories are in a race to "out- tough" each other on immigration.
