CC @100fabrizio, @Senficon, @birgittaj while this is UK, we must make sure such regulation doesn’t make decentralised systems illegal in EU.https://twitter.com/aral/status/827787514991636480 …
Dear policymakers, Regulate: centralised people farmers like Facebook & Google Incentivise: decentralised, privacy-respecting alternatives
#IPAct has effectively outlawed any possibility of private, decentralised communication services in the UK. We must avoid this fate in EU.
.@aral A lot hangs on what you understand to be a "platform". Arguably, decentralised systems are protocols, not platforms.
We must make that crystal clear in any regulation. Policymakers I’ve met do not understand the difference.
.@aral Lack of clarity may be a better option! Regulation of digital services (beyond the most flaming obvious) often ends up a car-crash.
