The Tech Giants’ Anti-regulation Fantasy

theatlantic.com · Nov 28

Major internet companies pretend that they’re best left alone. History shows otherwise.

"Not the absence of regulation, but its pervasiveness, made the mid-20th-century U.S. telephone network the envy of the world," writes Richard John for the Atlantic.

We need similar industry-aiding oversight of 21st century communications. Restoring the FCC's Title II authority over broadband access services is a start.

Bill McKibben: A Corrupted COP

New revelations show just how bad the #oil countries really are

The documents, obtained by the Centre for #Climate Reporting in the UK and first published by the BBC, showed talking points for meetings between officials like Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber, the head of this COP and also of the UAE’s national oil company, and at least 28 countries prior to the start of the offical talks.

The UAE’s close ally, Saudi Arabia, is hard at work on an Oil Development Sustainability Programme which involved hooking African & Asian nations on fossil fuels. It is almost cartoonishly villainous:

The investigation obtained detailed information on plans to drive up the use of fossil fuel-powered cars, buses & planes in Africa & elsewhere, as rich countries increasingly switch to clean energy.

The ODSP plans to accelerate the development of supersonic air travel, which it notes uses three times more jet fuel than conventional planes, & partner with a carmaker to mass produce a cheap combustion engine vehicle. Further plans promote power ships, which use polluting heavy fuel oil or gas to provide electricity to coastal communities." billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-
