Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"I suppose I have to explain why this makes the US a shittier place to live, given the “savvy” cynicism I’ve seen about how it’s all rotten here already. Tech companies, padding their bottom lines, have made their experiences worse, a phenomenon so widespread and well-recognized that now there’s slang for it. Whether the scandals are scams, child predation, worker exploitation, or violations of user privacy — pick your poison — Trump has offered tech a way to buy itself out of consequences. That makes life tangibly worse for everyone who isn’t a billionaire. </p><p>There are those who will say that this is good — that the corruption is happening in the open instead of the shadows. But public, open corruption allows even more rottenness to fester in secret. Consider all the strongman governments; besides their advances in bribery, what did they innovate? Silicon Valley’s leaders fashion themselves as titans of industry, but what they’re really building is a golden age of grift."</p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24346317/trump-gangster-tech-regulation-corruption-grift" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/2025/1/20/2434631</span><span class="invisible">7/trump-gangster-tech-regulation-corruption-grift</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechRegulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechRegulation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Billionaires</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Plutocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plutocracy</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Rather than making sense of diverse and possibly conflicting definitions of risks, companies and regulators should put forward joint benchmarks, and include civil society experts in the process. </p><p>Speaking of benchmarks: There is a critical lack of standardized processes, assessment methodologies and reporting templates. Most assessment reports contain very little information on how the actual assessments are carried out, and the auditors’ reports distinguish themselves through an almost complete lack of insight into the auditing process itself. This information is crucial, but it is near impossible to adequately scrutinize the reports themselves without understanding whether auditors were provided the necessary information, whether they ran into any roadblocks looking at specific issues, and how evidence was produced and documented. And without methodologies that are applicable across the board it will remain very challenging, if not impossible, to compare approaches taken by different companies. </p><p>The TikTok example shows that the risk and audit reports do not contain the “smoking gun” some might have hoped for. Besides the shortcomings explained above, this is due to the inherent limitations of the DSA itself. Although the DSA attempts to take a holistic approach to complex societal risks that cut across different but interconnected challenges, its reporting system is forced to only consider the obligations put forward by the DSA itself. Any legal assessment framework will struggle to capture complex societal challenges like the integrity of elections or public safety. In addition, phenomena as complex as electoral processes and civic discourse are shaped by a range of different legal instruments, including European rules on political ads, data protection, cybersecurity and media pluralism, not to mention countless national laws."</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/systemic-risk-reporting-system-crisis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/syst</span><span class="invisible">emic-risk-reporting-system-crisis</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DSA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SystemicRisks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SystemicRisks</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechRegulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechRegulation</span></a></p>
