We know that #BigTech consumes tons of energy & water. What was missed is that they are also attempting to control ecological transition paths turning govs & societies even more dependent on them

This is the main finding of my new paper w @silviaweko.bsky.social

You can now watch the recording of HM Paris's plenary session "At the heart of the storm, thinking of capitalism and infrastructures" where I had the pleasure of speaking about digital technologies, corporate and political power.

Sandro Mezzadra and I spoke in English: youtu.be/RQnoKUZJATc?...

Today, I will be presenting my new policy brief on #Digital #Sovereignty to S&D MEPs at the #European #Parliament in Brussels

Here is a preview of one of my slides to set the scene and the invite to the event

On my way to Canada, reading @parismarx.com , couldn't ask for a better intro to the country

I was interviewed by Die Zeit in Germany!

It seems that the journalist finds our proposal a bit unfeasible (German speakers please confirm). Yet, decoupling states from Big Tech & building a public-led digital value chain is the only way to develop tech that empowers people & respects the planet

Retaliation to US #tariffs is an opportunity to tax US #digital services -where #BigTech features prominently- & that are the overwhelming majority of digital services exports

It is also an opportunity to end TRIPS and stop paying IPRs to the US.
