How dangerous is health #misinformation in Canada? | #CMA cma.ca/healthcare-for-real/how “many lack access to a #familyphysician, so instead they go online with their questions. What they’re seeing there can lead them astray. Poor access to health care led 37% of Canadians to act on #online medical advice, and 31% admitted choosing it over advice from a medical professional. Among those groups, 23% experienced #negativehealthoutcomes from following online medical advice.”

Why Europe wants to take back control of medicines’ production.

Donald Trump's announcement of future 25% tariffs on various sectors, including the pharmaceutical industry, prompted the European Commission to revive the concept of strategic autonomy to boost competitiveness.

The Commission will today unveil its Critical Medicines Act (CMA), a plan to gain sovereignty in this sensitive and strategic area.

"Turns out Donald Trump isn't the only world leader with a tech billionaire "first buddy" who gets to serve as an unaccountable, self-interested de facto business regulator. UK PM Keir Starmer has just handed the keys to the British economy over to Jeff Bezos.

Oh, not literally. But here's what's happened: the UK's Competitions and Markets Authority, an organisation charged with investigating and punishing tech monopolists (like Amazon) has just been turned over to Doug Gurr, the guy who used to run Amazon UK.

This is – incredibly – even worse than it sounds. Marcus Bokkerink, the outgoing head of the CMA, was amazing, and he had charge over the CMA's Digital Markets Unit, the largest, best-staffed technical body of any competition regulator, anywhere in the world. The DMU uses its investigatory powers to dig deep into complex monopolistic businesses like Amazon, and just last year, the DMU was given new enforcement powers that would let it custom-craft regulations to address tech monopolization (again, like Amazon's).

But it's even worse. The CMA and DMU are the headwaters of a global system of super-effective Big Tech regulation. The CMA's deeply investigated reports on tech monopolists are used as the basis for EU regulations and enforcement actions, and these actions are then re-run by other world governments, like South Korea and Japan:"

The UK Competition and Markets Authority (#CMA) has launched today a new investigation into #Apple and #Google under the Digital Markets Competition Code (#DMCC) to determine their strategic market status in mobile ecosystems, including operating systems, app stores, and mobile browsers.

We welcome this as a step towards fairer markets where #DeviceNeutrality is the standard, and #FreeSoftware its enabler.
