#FirstAliyah predates #Zionism.
#Zionist Movement was born of reasons well-known, among which was virulent #antisemitism in #Europe & #Russia.
#Palestinian authorities, themselves under #Turkish #occupation, begged #Ottomans to prohibit #Russian #Jews from immigrating even before the arrival of Zionists — most of whom arrived only after #WWI.
Prior to #WWI, #Palestinian #grievance against Jews was one of #economic #competition, not #occupation or #oppression.
They never tolerated Jews

Don't Be Evil, TL;DR: @pluralistic explores the enshittening of the internet, where online services have become increasingly terrible, and argues that it's not due to moral decay but rather the result of institutional actions and the erosion of competition. He emphasizes the importance of fighting for a new, good internet that prioritizes human liberation.

#OpenWeb #Competition #Antitrust: "The elimination of competition – and the ensuing capture of regulation – removed the discipline imposed by the fear of customers defecting as the product degraded. The harder it is for users to leave a service, the easier it is for the factions within a company to best their rivals in the debate over whether they should be allowed to make the service worse.
That’s what changed. That’s what’s different. Tech didn’t get worse because techies got worse. Tech got worse because the condition of the external world made it easier for the worst techies to win arguments.
A new, good internet is possible and worth fighting for. After all, the internet is a powerful and crucial force in our lives, a single conduit for free speech, a free press, free association; and access to education, family, civics, politics, health, employment, romance, and more.
The enshittified giants of the internet may be beyond redemption. Perhaps they have become so corrupted, piled up so much sin and callous disregard for human thriving, that all that is left is to burn them to the ground."

"A particularly damaging batch of fraudulent notices targeted more than 35,000 URLs operated by a Google customer that spends tens of millions of dollars per year on Google search ads. The effect was a significant drop in traffic during the holiday season, revenue losses for the customer and its sellers of $5 million, and a loss to Google of between $2 and $3 million."

Internet Archive: new copyright laws for generative AI would “further entrench” market leaders
The current excitement over artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, has now reached the stage where governments feel they need to do something about it in terms of regulations. The EU’s AI Act was drawn up before generative AI took off, but is now being retro-fitted with bad ideas to take account of recent developments. Meanwhile, across the …

#USA #FTC #Antitrust #Competition #Monopolies: "Critics have called it “hipster” antitrust, but make no mistake: Antitrust is hip.
It’s been decades since government regulators were seen as anything but a punch line. Derided on the right as drags on the economy and on the left as rubber stamps for business, those in the federal bureaucracy aren’t accustomed to tributes. Now, as they aim to build an antitrust movement that would transform the economy, they’re on the receiving end of the kind of hero worship on display that summer evening — especially among law students."

There are two competing approaches to #competition enforcement on full display in Canadian #telecom right now — A short 🧵👇🏼
Traditionally, the goal was to prevent consolidation because the reduction in competition was seen to be bad. This is the approach that led to breaking up Standard Oil and AT&T, among others.
Since the 1980s, anti-competitive conduct was tolerated if there were short-term benefits to consumers, spelled out in Bork's 1978 book "The Antitrust Paradox".

⟨ "The American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU), Center for Democracy & Technology (#CDT), Electronic Frontier Foundation (#EFF), and Electronic Privacy Information Center (#EPIC) submit these comments in response to the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) notice of proposed rulemaking on a REAL ID requirement waiver for state-issued mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs). TSA is proposing to establish a case-by-case system for exempting state mobile driver’s license programs from REAL ID Act requirements and to impose an interim set of standards for mDLs drawn from various federal government information technology standards and standards proposed by private industry groups.
❖ The current state of digital identity is immature and cannot support even interim adoption of mDLs in a privacy-preserving manner.
❖ An American identity standard must not only be secure and privacy-protective, but also completely open.
❖ Demand for mDLs is overstated and does not justify this interim rulemaking.
❖ TSA risks unintentionally triggering early technology lock-in by accepting mDLs before standards are fully developed, precisely the harms TSA seeks to avoid.
❖ TSA should be careful not to overstep its regulatory authority under the REAL ID Modernization Act by adopting interim standards.
❖ TSA’s 19 chosen standards are not sufficient to guarantee privacy and often display a serious lack of transparency. " ⟩
As noted in the comments "The implications of the TSA’s decisions here potentially reach far beyond the airport context, extending to the process for how people present ID in every small town and city in America for decades to come."
Highly recommended reading!

Does science need heroes or does it need to reform? I elaborate on this in a blog post, based on a talk I gave at the recent Rijksmuseum Boerhaave symposium on Prize Cultures. Idolizing heroes can worsen #bias, #inequality, and #competition in science. Yet, it does require good #leadership to ignite structural change. https://www.leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/does-science-need-heroes
economics of group production
Rewards = f( contribution ie participation)
participation = g( inclusion)
inclusion = h( p- fraction of unfairly distributed resources you possess)
p = i( all the biases and profiling prevailing in a group)
So a group's inner #competition about the resources conferred to him , is fundamentally about accepting the prevailing hierarchy, no competition for entering it can change that.
your individual strength or weakness is your individual concern , unless it becomes a valid means of production and contribution, to establish any alternative exchange requires your identity from that
only alternative for that is to figure out where you think can go far, with that and find the group on that way which shares it ( if at all) for required cooperation to go further.
side note = #internet is a revolution , it can do more, when its free from the flaws above , imposed upon it , by them , for them
its primarily why next gen doesnt follow tradition

2.4 Gbps over a cellular network? Wow. How's it feel, living in the future? 😀
I have fibre to my house and "only" get 350 Mbps, because their not-quite-gigabit service is crazy expensive. I don't know how much they'd want for 2.4 Gbps, but it probably includes the phrase "and your left <X>".

Every alternative to #democracy requires steep #hierarchy - some beings having unilateral power to make decisions over others.
And then we're back at the problem of benevolent dictatorship: they invariably become mere dictatorships in short order.
What's more, a hierarchical society incentivises #competition .
Hierarchies force everyone to compete. Either for a higher position, or to avoid losing position: in a hierarchy, those at the bottom are at the mercy of the more powerful.
#Competition authorities should keep an eye on the moves by #Android to push attestation for secure apps (e.g. banking apps) to the server through the #PlayIntegrityAPI, encouraging firms to make non-#GooglePlay versions of ‘open source’ Android impractical. See eg #GrapheneOS’s compatibility guide https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide

@badlogic good job, well done. I recall that there was a website in the UK that did supermarket price comparisons, but it was shut down via copyright law: the supermarkets licence product images from a third party so when the guy used the same images as the supermarkets to.illustrate the price comparisons, he was threatened by the product image company and forced to shut down.
Holy crap, this thread! I wonder* how Ireland would fare..

@warandpeas As a #singer, I once attended a #competition in the U.S. which was held at a nice #auditorium that happened to be part of an elementary & middle school complex. The female restrooms for the event were in the young elementary wing. This meant when #women were seated on the toilets, we could look over the stall walls at each other, as the stalls were made shorter so teachers could look upon their young students to assist if needed. It remains a very memorable performance experience.

#USA #SocialMedia #Competition #Antitrust #Interoperability: "Are larger social media platforms gatekeeping user data to stifle competition?
Some U.S. senators believe this is the case and have proposed what they think is a viable solution — a bill that would essentially require social media platforms with over 100 million monthly users to make user data portable and interoperable with other platforms. The proposal would also allow users to designate a third-party service to manage their privacy and account settings.
This week, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., reintroduced the Augmenting Compatibility and Competition by Enabling Service Switching (ACCESS) Act, with the support of Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.
“Interoperability and portability are powerful tools to promote innovative new companies and limit anti-competitive behaviors,” the group said in a statement."

To complain that an EU position should go to an EU citizen only demonstrates what is wrong with the EU island mentality. To be able to recruit a US prof to an EU job demonstrates that the sallaries in Brussels are obscene. Best person for the job always. The real competition sinner is the DE state that limits many wages by law, forbids striking by civil servants & prevents employment of people with certain foreign qualifications. We need more mobility.

Elizabeth Warren tweets:
In the mid-’90s, the 20 biggest U.S. banks held 15% of all bank assets.
Today, they hold more than 65%.
More consolidation = more risks for consumers, small businesses, & our economy. It’s time for regulators to promote more competition & strengthen merger review guidelines.
