Pains me to read @AndiMakinana story in @SundayTimesZA. I predicted this in my affidavit to @ConCourtSA in Feb & on pod with late @Eusebius in March. Blame rests totally on @ParliamentofRSA & @PresidencyZA for purposefully failing to appoint #SABC Board for 6 months. Disgrace.

If you’re reporting on Google’s blog post regarding blocking news in 🇨🇦, it’s entirely rehashed, misleading talking points now amplified by G’s fav academics. Last graph is all that matters. I can’t guarantee its a bluff as 🇨🇦 is a proxy war to prevent similar laws elsewhere. 1/2

“What the public—& hence media, should comprehend is that the diverse definitions & interpretations of AI tend to reflect different contexts & varied interests…especially when the term AI is used as theatre in order to hype the offers of consultants, companies & politicians.” 🙏🏼

1/1 quoting @josephestiglitz on META response to California's Journalism Competition and Preservation Act: "The fact that the platforms are taking such a strong, armed and threatening approach is evidence that they believe they do have market power proving California’s case."
