More fun with #DigitalMarketsAct meetings! This time I'm in some meetings organized by the European Commission, run by a super expensive, multi-national consultancy. We are in with well paid representatives of #BigTech, some academics, and a couple public interest techies like me. Volunteers like me are again driving the key points that will make or break the #DMA. I applied to #FordFoundation to fund our work, but was rejected. How can we in the #EU get more people paid to represent users?
A #PulitzerPrize-winning political #photographer resigned Tues from the board of the #FordFoundation, blasting the group for #cowardice in rejecting #Trump critic #LizCheney as the recipient of its top yearly award.
