What does the US want from tech?
IT'S MONDAY, AND THIS IS DIGITAL POLITICS. I'm Mark Scott, and here's a quick scheduling update. I'm taking the first two weeks off in July, so next week's newsletter will be the last until July 14.
Don't worry. I've got some programming planned for my upcoming break, but FYI.
— The United States is pursuing a "cake-and-eat-it" strategy on digital policymaking. It's leaving many confused, at home and abroad.
— The United Kingdom just passed the world's second mandate requiring social media companies to open up to outsiders in the name of accountability and transparency.
— Social media dominates how we all access information online. But artificial intelligence tools are likely to upend that status-quo.
Let's get started:
Question: Who benefits from all this? Who gets richer and more powerful week after week? Is it you or me?

Ein brauner Hund schwimmt im klaren Wasser eines Sees, der von einer Uferlinie aus Steinen und Gras umgeben ist. Der Hund hält einen Ast in seinem Maul und bewegt sich durch das Wasser, wodurch kleine Wellen entstehen. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und ein bewaldetes Ufer zu sehen, das sich bis zum Horizont erstreckt. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und das Wasser spiegelt die Umgebung wider.

Ein brauner Hund mit einem orangefarbenen Halsband steht auf einem hölzernen Steg in einem Wald. Der Steg führt durch eine grüne, nasse Umgebung mit Moos und Gras, und es gibt ein kleines Gewässer auf der linken Seite. Der Hund blickt nach links, während er auf dem Steg steht, der von Bäumen umgeben ist. Die Umgebung ist üppig grün, mit hohen Bäumen und dichtem Unterholz, was auf eine natürliche, ruhige Landschaft hinweist.

Ein schwarzes Hund im klaren, türkisfarbenen Wasser eines Sees, das bis zu seinen Beinen reicht. Der Himmel ist strahlend blau und wolkenlos, mit einem leichten Glanz, der von der Sonne stammt. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich ein dichter Wald, der die Uferlinie des Sees säumt. Die Wasseroberfläche ist ruhig und spiegelt das Licht des Himmels wider, wodurch die Struktur des Grundes sichtbar wird. Der Strand ist sandig und verläuft entlang des Sees, begrenzt von einer dichten Vegetation.

Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige Szene am Ufer eines Sees. Im Vordergrund steht ein kleiner Holzsteg aus Holzplanken, der sich in das Wasser erstreckt. Auf dem Steg steht ein brauner Hund, der nach links blickt. Um den Steg herum wachsen hohe, grüne Riedpflanzen, die teilweise ins Wasser reichen. Der See ist ruhig und spiegelt den Himmel und die umliegenden Bäume wider. Im Hintergrund ist ein dichter Wald zu sehen, der den See umgibt. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist. Die Umgebung wirkt friedlich und natürlich.

Thesilverpig
in reply to themurphy • • •They came on TV every day for a year and a half telling us about Iraq's WMD's and we were scared and confused after 9/11.
Now there was no inciting incident, we have the internet with alternative narratives to the state lies, we have a massively depressed economy from decades of wars gutting our middle class and transferring wealth from the middle class to the elite, and they are trying to speed run there propaganda about Iran in like two weeks using the same tired lies they pushed for during Iraq.
So, in their mind it's just like Iraq, but there is a reason this war only has about 16% support with 64% against. This war will break maga and will break the US before it breaks Iran. That's my guess anyways.
Oh, and Iran has almost 4 times the population as Iraq did when we invaded it, has witnessed Iraq and Lybia and have been developing and importing weapons independent of the US sphere of influence for decades while Saddam was a US puppet until he wasn't. So yeah, I don't think it'll go the same.
