Patrick Leavy<p>Clever framing by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigtech</span></a> that deflects calls for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/regulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>regulation</span></a> :<br>1. You'd be regulating 'the internet'<br>2. Regulation stifles innovation<br>3. Autocratic regulation (China) is what you'll get</p><p>These have been very effective. Let's check their accuracy:<br>1. WRONG. We'd only be regulating big tech<br>2. WRONG. Just wrong. Innovation can happily carry on.<br>3. WRONG. Regulation does not equal 'govs make a Ministry of Truth'. That is simply not true.</p><p>So, well done big tech, but shame on us for believing it 🤦</p>
