I read the new EU Court ruling on algorithms and social platforms so you don't have to.

Turns out to be the most consequential thing a European court has said about recommendation algorithms, and also it just breaks when you apply it to the atmosphere

imo core problem for europe is the command structure: federal solutions are too slow and cant deal with hybrid attacks, centralised solutions are politically impossible

so decision-making capability was outsourced to US because europe is gridlocked on the political side of control
