see Twitter says the new laws will lead to a surveillance regime no proof it's just an outlandish claim so the government of India has served another notice to them last warning to comply with the new law what happens if Twitter continues to resist the government has warned of consequences under the it act will this mean a ban or a temporary suspension the fact is we don't know it depends on how Twitter chooses to respond and how far it takes this and here's the thing India is just one front in this battle big take has become a big headache for governments all over the world they're all grappling with one question who is Big Tech is it a content creator a Content editor or just a platform because it cannot be all three you can what's happening in Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is lashing out at social media he claims that their muslin right-wing voices his sons accounts on Twitter Facebook and Instagram
I will blocked there are two sides to the story one of the first rated prime minister on the verge of being ousted and second of social media having it both ways Netanyahu son posted a political Rivals address on social media he was inciting protests online see critics you could say the suspension was warranted but the question is who gets to make that call let me give you another example Nigeria they have banned Twitter completely anyone who still uses it can be prosecuted in Nigeria again there are two sides to the story one of a government that may have gone too far the second of a social media company silencing a head of state Nigeria's president tweeted about the country's Civil War it was seen as a real threat to separatists should the president have been censored perhaps yes but then again why does Twitter get to make that call is it a platform or an editor this is almost likenothing Vigilantes news guess they will fight for justice but you can't replace cops with Vigilantes social media cannot be judge jury and executioner there has to be some oversight there has to be some regulation and this is the thrust behind India's new it laws but big Tech is consumed by its own self-righteousness they genuinely believed only they can protect the freedom of speech what is their track record say can we trust Big Deck trust them only to steal our data these companies will go to any lengths to make money including cheating big Tech has always used anticompetitive tactics until now the laws just couldn't keep up judges frankly did not understand much of the digital lingo the internet was not really considered a Marketplace so big Tech slipped under the radar but now the law is catching up look at what happened in France France has announced a massive fine on Google around 267 million
dollars and this is not even about the amount this is about the proceed until the trance is set Google repeatedly preferred its own ad agencies over Rivals they had something that others did not a market a dominant Market position so slowly these rival agencies were squeezed out of the market big Tech does this all over the world the differences people are noticing it only now such fines and penalties by the way do make an impact it has made an impact in France already Google has agreed to reform its
does indeed this and that's not all they had to openly admit to cheating now even the G7 is targeting big Tegra foreign ministers agreed on a minimum 15 percent corporate tax this is squarely aimed at tech companies there are among the smallest taxpayers but they consistently top the Forbes list so the world has three main problems with VTEC one is unfair business tactics the second is tax evasion and the third is lack of Regulation and all three come down to Frameworks and rules are laws were made
for a physical tangible Society the one we live in now the virtual world not the internet big Tech had a great run in this unregulated world online now that governments are ending this Free Run
