Re: <nettime> Sign the BAN X in EUROPE petition and join the campaign


Hi,

regardless of how one thinks about the act of protest/communication itself,
maybe an interesting tidbit:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/mex_24_5324

"Commission concludes that online social networking service of X should not
be designated under the Digital Markets Act"

Because

"the Commission concluded that X does indeed not qualify as a gatekeeper in
relation to its online social networking service, given that the
investigation revealed that X is not an important gateway for business
users to reach end users."

Which is basically the Commission stating that X is just too small
potatoes. Now if public institutions and journalists would just get that
message...
