       I ran a social network in the oughties. I haven't reformed, but I don't run them for others any more. I tend to spend a lot of time trying to understand things I take an interest in, both on theoretical and practical level. I often disagree with myself but always try to do so consistently. #introduction

       The famous Google "we have no moat" paper continues to hold, technically. The moat became marketing, funding and denial of access to market. As it usually does when monopolists latch on. @ariadne

       Estonia is correct. The responsibility to keep children safe falls on adults and platform operators, not on the kids. If social media isn't safe for children, it's not safe for adults either, because the safety this is about isn't about the content, but of what the platforms do with our data.https://thenextweb.com/news/estonia-eu-child-social-media-ban-opposition

       What. The. Fuck. ??It's bad enough that EU is reneging on major parts of the European Green Deal and buying big tech bullshit about AI wholesale, but this is another level.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/17/microsoft-us-tech-firms-lobbied-eu-secrecy-rules-datacentre-emissions

       Here's a good longer piece explaining why age verification solves nothing for children's safety, puts all of us at risk, violates fundamental privacy protections and lets the bad actors, "social" ad platforms off the hook.
