Die bewährte Aussitztaktik: Zunächst Vorgaben nicht angehen, weil teuer.
Danach jammern, dass es nicht geht, Arbeitsplätze als Geiselhaftargument und schon wird die Republik spuren.
Das Pattern ist mittlerweile bestens bekannt:
Auf #TooBigToFail ausruhen.
@LarryE992001 the sad part is that the #USA are #TooBigToFail and thus depending on the results #intervention will be necessary.
Drafting my next blog post:
"The internet today relies TOO MUCH on just a few big players. When one of them stops working, half the world is impacted because too many services, in my opinion, depend on them.
“Too big to fail,” some might say.
“Single Point of Failure,” I respond."
Pas d'argent magique pour le peuple qui compte les centimes, mais des monceaux d'argent gratuit pour les milliardaires.

"Malgré les 55 milliards de dettes d’ #Altice, Patrick #Drahi tente de sauver ses secrets et sa fortune
Étranglé par les dettes, discrédité par les affaires de corruption, Altice lutte pour sa survie. Soucieux de conserver sa fortune, le milliardaire a décidé d’organiser lui-même le sauvetage de son groupe, en essayant de tordre le bras à ses créanciers.
Mais ses actifs peuvent-ils suffire à rembourser ses dettes ?
...
"la valeur des actifs d’Altice ne correspond pas ou plus aux 60 milliards de dollars de dettes qu’a levés Patrick Drahi pour constituer son groupe.
Peu à peu, le monde financier est en train de réaliser qu’il a cédé aux sirènes de ces hommes d’affaires dont la réussite ne reposait que sur des illusions de l’argent gratuit.
Les mirages se sont dissipés, les bulles sont en train d’éclater, il ne reste que les dettes.
Dont une partie est irrécouvrable.
Furieux, les créanciers de Patrick Drahi jurent, mais un peu tard, qu’on ne les y reprendra plus."

‚Too big to fail‘ is only true within given circumstances. T-Rex was too big to fail once. And then circumstances changed. Corporations do an awful lot of lobbying work to keep having politicians’ decisions in their favour. Be the comet. Go vote. #EUelections2024 #EUWahl #LobbyControl #TooBigToFail

@ProPublica
Yet another example of corporate greed overriding any sense of morality, common sense, or care for anything other than profit.
It’s interesting to see what posts are removed within minutes and what posts are staying up on eg. #MastodonSocial
Proper moderating is not possible on #tooBigToFail instances, they will always at the same time overblock and undermoderate because consideration and discussion takes time. These instances can‘t develop a coherent, self-moderating culture which is the only way to scale moderating.
Let‘s see when #AI is suggested as a solution.
