In our latest episode, Nicklas Berild Lundblad ಠ_ಠ and I discuss some classic texts from discussions about internet regulation in the 1990s. Still relevant for today's debate on proposals like the #OnlineSafetyBill. Regulate Tech 2022 ep 10: The Law of the Horse podbean.com/ew/pb-48pqd-12…

Extraordinary testimony. #StandWithUkraine️

Apparently there is some Musk-Trump chatter going on today. If you're following this, you might be interested in last week's podcast from Nicklas Berild Lundblad ಠ_ಠ and myself. Regulate Tech 2022 ep 11: Hot takes on Twitter! podbean.com/ew/pb-8etrf-12…

A quiet revolution is underway.

Good use of tech for transparency.

If the new government wants to fix the NHS they could start by sorting out the second rate apps that are being deployed around the place. Anyone who has painfully struggled through using Dr IQ will know what I mean.

If a govt follows a policy of not having anyone who has ever criticised it come in and speak then over time there will be nobody left they can invite. Except those who have never thought the govt has ever put a foot wrong, ie the unthinking.
