Conservatives love him** */ //By Evan Halper// // //March 22, 2019// // //Reporting from Washington — / The idea that Google is subtly pushing masses of voters to the left has the ring of conspiracy, and thus the work of Robert Epstein is warmly embraced by conservative lawmakers — as well as a president — convinced big tech is plotting against them. Yet even some scholars who think the San Diego-based psychologist is wrong about the political impact of search engines — he believes bias built into Google’s processes could have cost Republicans three California congressional districts in the last election — have started paying attention to his detailed work on how voters respond to tens of thousands of search results. At a moment when misinformation about search engines and social media bias is rampant, with both the left and the right amplifying unsupported claims, Epstein is asking the right questions, they say, about the unseen power of algorithms and how little most Americans understand about the way they work [...] https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-google-search-bias-elections-201…

*The global gag on free speech is tightening* /In both democracies and dictatorships, it is getting harder to speak up /ON JUNE 22ND there was an alleged coup attempt in Ethiopia. The army chief of staff was murdered, as was the president of Amhara, one of the country’s nine regions. Ordinary Ethiopians were desperate to find out what was going on. And then the government shut down the internet. By midnight some 98% of Ethiopia was offline. [...] continua qui: https://www.economist.com/international/2019/08/15/the-global-gag-on-free-s… //

La taxe numérique française « discriminatoire » selon Google, Facebook, Amazon
by Alberto Cammozzo Aug. 20, 2019

Aug. 20, 2019

<https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2019/08/20/la-taxe-numerique-f…> « Précédent troublant », « impôt discriminatoire », « rupture brutale de règles longuement établies » : des responsables des grands groupes dits « GAFA » et d’autres leaders de l’Internet ont donné de la voix, lundi 19 août, dans le cadre d’une enquête ouverte par les services du représentant américain au commerce (USTR), contre la taxation française des groupes numériques.
