** NEW ** My book "Digital Economic Policy" will be published in May with @OUPEconomics Thanks to @collegeofeurope @UNamur @Bruegel_org community @GuntramWolff @mariademertzis @AnnMettler @pswieboda next to me during this journey Info on https://t.co/B6KtniYcma and in🧵👇1/6

In my latest column for @Bruegel_org I argue that, on tech regulation, the EU should stop apologising and go on the offensive. The case for EU regulation killing innovation (as recently put forward by the US) is weak. (happy to engage, on bluesky) https://t.co/kQ0vvZggWK

Slowly but happily migrating to bluesky… https://t.co/3c7LkDTm5j

From 24.20, I say: narrative path-dependency extends also to industry and MS. They repeat the same mantra since years. Instead of shooting at merger policy, telecoms (with cross-border M&A) and MS (spectrum) should work for a EU-wide market.

Suicide rates give the pulse of societies’ most structural issues. A compelling layer of analysis is gender: across **all** cultures, males are much more likely to commit suicide than females

Big news: as of September, I left the @EU_Commission to pursue my research and study interests. I will continue my teaching with @collegeofeurope and re-start collaborating with @Bruegel_org on a Non-Resident Fellowship basis. ...and pursue a BA in Philosophy @HIW_KULeuven

Algorithmic Management in Traditional Workplaces -European Employment & Social Rights Forum 2023- Watch here a great panel I had the honor to moderate with @annette_bern @JeremiasPrassl @maarten_goos and Maria Sapignoli - @EU_Social @EU_Commission https://t.co/z38CtcQHL9

@porcarorama @LauraNurski @abenanav @janinemberg @DigitalMarioM wrote an opinion piece arguing that we should be concerned about the bias embedded in artificial intelligence. He says that "Biases are not only embedded in the design of the algorithm. They are also external to it, originating in societal biases." But how can we

Wanna know about EU Digital Policy? In this @coenatolin podcast we talk about AI, competition, digital inclusion, skills, sustainability… It’s a good glimpse at my book (👇🏼) and, above all, it’s fun! Thanks Lamia and @collegeofeurope ! https://t.co/pjvOmHHYKp

Dovremmo domandarci, che cosa ne stiamo facendo di questa libertà? W il 25 Aprile

Le parole di Piantedosi sono ignobili. Stupisce la pochezza dell’uomo. E ci ricorda che, per quanto alta sia, la carica rivestita in sé dica poco o niente dello spessore intellettuale di chi la ricopre.

A great new project by @Bruegel_org to monitor labor markets’ dynamics at the interplay with technology. Super useful!

Ukrainian Lithuanian day at the @coenatolin - President Zielinski addressing questions from students. Really proud to be part of the College of Europe!

Something tells me that, in the latest round of layoffs, Twitter got rid of any sensible competition lawyer in the company...

Hang-on, isn't this a clear potential antitrust infringement? from @POLITICOEurope: "The account of Mastodon, a Twitter competitor, was also suspended on Thursday". https://t.co/sL0LsCKQB2

If she/he/it says so...

5/ I am guessing this is consistent with @elonmusk idea of freedom of expression? @porcarorama @SamuelStolton @ThierryBreton @PaulNemitz @vestager @VeraJourova @Floridi @TomValletti @ProfFionasm @jcremer @lewis_crofts @chrisbruegel and many others... - views?

4/ I propose No-Tweet-Mondays; it could be another day. I also proposed a banner; surely someone can come up with something better. Twitter employees could also join: eg slow down procedures etc. all it takes is a concerted action - feel free to share / suggest alternatives

3/ this 'Twitter-strike' is easily implementable. It can significantly affect Twitter's ads revenues through lower traffic. It is not that costly for users: no FOMO - you can tweet the next day, or read your feed then.

2/ a much better option is to simply reduce traffic (thus profits) to Twitter, ideally in a coordinated fashion. Does Twitter spread misinformation? We don't tweet on Mondays. Does Twitter escalate? We don't tweet also on Tuesdays. Twitter steps back? we tweet every day... etc
