The pathetic, bitter wording of the wording that blames an EU regulation for being “left with an impossible choice” (ooh poor Meta and its $1.8 trillion market cap 😢) is just another demonstration that yes, #regulation does work and that once a business activity’s negative externalities on society are factored in the costs, some might become economically unsustainable. And from a European perspective, that's just a good thing 👌
I'm happy to leave it to others to let money buy political outcomes.

Trump Administration Looking to Slash Environmental Protection Rules for Rocket Launches
—

A draft executive order viewed by ProPublica directs the secretary of transportation to “use all available authorities to eliminate or expedite” environmental reviews for launch licenses — a change Elon Musk’s SpaceX and others have long sought.

"The answer 'we have to fix capitalism' doesn't help. It might be true, but it doesn't help.

So here's where I think there are some ... interventions that would require a change in political will to enable. But there's very little stopping them other than a lack of political will, which is largely a result of capture of political power by economic interests."

Q: Based on his ideas, would Adolf Hitler be for or against GDPR and right to erasure nowadays if he still lived?

A: It's reasonable to infer that Hitler would not support a regulation like #GDPR which emphasizes individual rights such as #privacy protection, data accessibility or erasure; and instead might favor more centralized control over information dissemination for propaganda purposes.

Based on his ideas, would Adolf Hitler be for or against GDPR and right to erasure nowadays if he still lived? As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or beliefs. However, I can provide analysis based on historical context and known ideologies: Adolf Hitler held extremely different views from those encapsulated in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is a regulation enacted by the European Union to protect individuals' personal data privacy. It emphasizes transparency, security of processing and grants rights such as access, rectification, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), restriction of processing, data portability, objection, and non-discrimination in relation to automated decision making including profiling. Hitler's ideology was rooted deeply in racial superiority (Nazism), anti-Semitic beliefs, nationalistic fervor, militarization, totalitarian control over society, propaganda manipulation and suppression of dissent—all fundamentally opposed to the principles underlying GDPR. Given this stark contrast: It's reasonable to infer that Hitler would not support a regulation like GDPR which emphasizes individual rights such as privacy protection, data accessibility or erasure; and instead might favor more centralized control over information dissemination for propaganda purposes.

why bother complying with all the onerous rules that regulate the selling of securities to the public when you can just sell them “tokens” instead?

SpaceX and OpenAI are privately held companies that have disclosed virtually nothing about their businesses to the public (which they would be required to do before selling "shares" instead of "tokens" to mere mortals).

you’re looking at the death of 100 years of more or less successful financial regulation. all the rules put into place after the great depression are pretty much kaput.
