"This concentration of media ownership under David Ellison is a worrisome instance of vertical integration in the AI age. Oracle is a technology company, not a media company, but its hosting, processing, and cloud services are very much embedded in the media chain of ownership.

Control of what counts as the news, and how content gets delivered and consumed, is a major geopolitical concern. Capture of that media leaves mass communication vulnerable to manipulation by vested interests. The US government under Trump is aggressively pursuing this centralization of control; the administration has made it abundantly clear that any attempt at regulating powerful US technology companies overseas is an aggressive affront to trade, and tantamount to “censorship.”

During a recent Open Markets Institute conference in Brussels called “The Future of Democracy: Speech, Thought, Sovereignty, and Power in the Age of Platforms and AI,” Roger MacNamee, an early Silicon Valley investor and now a critic of Big Tech, described ascendant AI companies as “breathing new life into old monopolies.” Big Tech companies have long wielded dominance over economic policy and culture, but the regulatory challenges are finally spilling over to issues surrounding media ownership."

@elduvelle Obviously, @libreoffice - hands down as #OpenOffice is essentially #Abandonware due to #Oracle's sabotage.

  • Ideally you'd convert the shitty #OOXML to #OpenDocument beforehand through #MicrosoftOffice as OOXML is a garbage format and #Office including #Office365 can handle .odt, .ods & .odp just fine whereas OOXML was specifically designed to subvert #ISO standards with a 15.000 page spec that is basically impossible to comply with for anyone but #Microsoft!

And in case you prefer the #RibbonUI (no idea why?) #LibreOffice has that available too!

The US #TikTokDeal:
"Under the proposed deal, #Oracle will recreate and provide security for a new US version of the algorithm, a #WhiteHouse official said. The owners of the US-based #TikTok will lease a copy of the algorithm from #ByteDance that Oracle will then retrain “from the ground up,” according to the official.
Data from US users will be stored in a secure cloud managed by Oracle, and there will be controls to keep out foreign adversaries, including #China, the official said. ByteDance won’t have access to information on TikTok’s US subscribers, nor any control over the algorithm in the US."

Trumps Schattenpräsident: Wie #Oracle-Chef Larry #Ellison die digitale Überwachung vorantreibt

Elon Musk polarisiert, doch Larry Ellison baut leise die Infrastruktur für Trumps digitalen Überwachungsstaat. Mit Oracle, KI und milliardenschweren Deals wird er zum mächtigsten Tech-Tycoon der USA – und kaum einer kennt seinen Namen. Seine Methoden? Kompromisslos. Seine Vision? Ein Albtraum für Datenschützer – StefanPfeiffer.Blog

CISA has updated the KEV catalogue.
