URL alternativo di un sito non paywalled che ha copiato l'articolo: https://californianewstimes.com/big-tech-is-playing-a-financial-shell-game/6... executive summary: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Just as the existing US antitrust law (which considers consumer prices as a measure of monopoly power) is not suitable for the era of digital barter transactions, the existing SEC disclosure rules are in the era of surveillance capitalism. Not enough. [...] Finally, the UCL report calls for a technology-specific SEC disclosure framework that takes into account the unique business model of digital giants. That’s a good idea. Data is an asset and should be counted as such. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- l'articolo è un commento al report https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/public-purpose/publications/2021/dec/crouchin... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, policy report no. 2021/04 This new report finds that the main annual financial reporting framework imposed by the US regulators on ‘Big Tech’ firms (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft) is not fit for purpose. The Security and Exchange Commission’s annual ‘10-K’ disclosure reporting instead helps ‘Big Tech’ companies conceal market power, increase profit margins, and expand their platforms’ dominance. A collaboration between the authors, IIPP economists Ilan Strauss, Mariana Mazzucato and Josh Ryan-Collins and Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Big Tech reformer Tim O’Reilly, provide their recommendations within the report. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- quindi possiamo solo rassegnarci al traffico di dati personali - spesso /estorti/ con vergognosi sotterfugi giustificati dal burocrate di turno - e /al massimo/ sperare che vengano /contabilizzati/ come /asset aziendali/ così che la SEC possa regolarli meglio? andiamo bene saluti, 380° P.S.: ingenuamente pensavo che si trattasse di un articolo che raccontasse come le Big Tech eludono i sistemi fiscali mondiali. -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
