Hi, Fascinating that X is not even perceived worth to be considered a gatekeeper. https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/commission-concludes-online-social-networking-service-x-should-not-be-designated-under-digital-2024-10-16_en The concept of Gatekeeper in the DMA (Regulation (EU) 2022/1925) and the definition of "core platform services" is super powerful. DMA as a regulatory framework will cause massive change. https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/gatekeepers_en Oh, and "Gatekeeper": https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1510449836633604100 Is it really worth it to campaign against X (anymore)? It used to be your Twitter but now it is your X. Best -- A Best, André Am Do., 17. Okt. 2024 um 11:40 Uhr schrieb tati via nettime-l < [email protected]>: > exactly > > we need actions.
