WTISD-17: The two faces of Big Data
Big data has a potential to improve society – much like electricity or antibiotics.

What Is “Neoliberalism” Anyway?
The term “neoliberalism” is being flung around everywhere these days, usually with a haughty sense of “everyone knows what this is.” But do we really?

I bet if Pelosi held her town hall back in her San Francisco district instead of on a CNN set with Chris Cuomo, it would have been a very different event. I suspect she would have faced a similar response from activists that other members of Congress have gotten from their constituents. First of all, all Cuomo's questions about the day's Trump infotainment crap would not have dominated an opportunity to find out what Pelosi stands for and where she wants to take her party and our country.

Is EU slowly killing the Internet?
Article 13 (in the European Union’s draft Copyright Directive), fewer than 250 words, is designed to provoke such legal uncertainty that internet companies will have no option other than to block, filter and monitor our communications, if they want to have any chance of staying in business. Ultimately, only the current internet giants, shedding crocodile tears at the prospect, will be able to survive. From global internet to “Googlebook”.

The west cares more about Ukrainian selfies than Donbass deaths
It is both sad and surreal that prominent organisations in the west have been mostly silent about the attempted ethnic cleansing of Donbass people by the Ukrainian regime in a war of aggression that has all ready taken the lives of over 10,000 souls.

Macron: An American Trojan horse in the Elysee Palace
The new French president, Emmanuel Macron, who was thrust into the French presidential race as a pro-European Union counterweight to prevent the election of National Front leader Marine Le Pen, appears to have more than a casual relationship with the United States. While he worked within the Ministry of the Economy as both a special inspector and as minister, Macron oversaw the virtual theft of strategic French industries by American firms having strong links to the U.S. Intelligence Community.
