SDF Podcast 26: To regulate, or not to regulate, that is the question…

March 9, 2019 by Neville Hobson 

To be or not to be

“We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.“ So the famous US Supreme Court Justice and ‘crusader for social justice’ and breaker-upper of Gilded Age monopolies, Louis D. Brandeis is said to have said, perhaps sometime in the early 1930s. Today, perhaps the best-known neo-Brandeisian anti-trust advocate is Tim Wu, Columbia law professor, ‘father of net neutrality’ and author of a series of books … [Read more...] about SDF Podcast 26: To regulate, or not to regulate, that is the question…

SDF Podcast 20: GDPR, ePrivacy, copyright and antitrust:
the EU’s long game

July 26, 2018 by Neville Hobson 

Show notes for this episode written by Thomas Stoeckle. “If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” A modern version of this 18th century thought experiment by the philosopher and cleric George Berkeley might read: “If the EU fines a big tech firm billions of dollars, and no one has the power to enforce it, has it actually happened?” A recent opinion piece on AdExchanger discussed the connection between Google’s $5bn antitrust fine, and the … [Read more...] about SDF Podcast 20: GDPR, ePrivacy, copyright and antitrust:

For Immediate Release 143:
Fired by mistake by an AI

June 26, 2018 by Neville Hobson 

Neville Hobson joined FIR host Shel Holtz for the June edition of “The Hobson & Holtz Report” and conversation about these topics: An employee was mistakenly fired by an AI system and managers stood by powerless to correct the mistake.

Shape the debate about the UK and the EU

January 26, 2013 by Neville Hobson 

A few days ago, Prime Minister David Cameron made a speech in London on what he called "the future of Europe," setting out his stall about the UK, the European Union, Europe itself and how he sees the future for these entities. I watched his live delivery on the TV news. I liked much of what I heard: in essence, a call to action for anyone with a point of view about the UK's future as a member of the EU, or not, to articulate that point of view, and contribute to the debate. "Join the … [Read more...] about Shape the debate about the UK and the EU
