@c01x @pluralistic #KKR had a starring role in "Barbarians at the Gate," an excellent book about the struggle to buy RJR Nabisco and make money for shareholders by selling lung cancer.
@pluralistic Reading your book, I thought that: #KKR has acquired Telecom Italia's (TIM) Italian landline network for $22 billion. The newly established company, #FiberCop, is in the process of constructing a fiber optic network, supported by $1.85 billion in funding from the Italian government and the European Union's National Recovery and Resilience Plan ( #RRF). The Italian government, led by "sovereigntists" politicians, has essentially handed over this crucial infrastructure to a foreign company.

The so-called "Learning Management System" (LMS) that we use at the #UniversityofAmsterdam and #AmsterdamUniversityCollege is called "Canvas".
#Canvas is owned by Instructure, which in turn was bought in 2024 - for 4.8 billion USD - by #KKR, a US investment firm that has close ties with the arms industry and - as such - to the #IDF.
In July #Instructure signed a deal with #OpenAI to work towards the total integration of OpenAI's AI technologies into Canvas: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rayravaglia/2025/07/23/instructure-and-openai-harness-the-power-of-ai-to-transform-learning/
