Bloomberg is reporting that Microsoft and Amazon are set to become designated as Gatekeepers under the EU's Digital Markets Act, the regime of ex-ante regulation of a handful of tech platforms.
I've been working on the DMA for over five years, let me tell you what this means.

☁️ Cloud resilience isn't built through localisation mandates but through choice.
Interoperability, portable licensing, and real multi‑cloud options matter far more than market shares or geography.

Just finished The Mindset of the #Tariff Man – smart, funny, and very timely with the EU–Mercosur debate. It shows how trade gets trapped in bureaucracy and fear, and why openness still matters for peace and prosperity. #Mercosur #Trade #TariffMan

This is satire with truth serum – Mancur Olson meets “Yes, Minister”, with real-world examples that will make you question every conference you’ve ever attended. And yes – it’s funny. But it’s also the most honest guide to how political power really works.

Cutting #bureaucracy in a #representative #democracy is close to impossible.
No politician dares to – out of decency, ignorance – or tangible self-interest. Not the left, not the right, not the political centre. That’s exactly what this book is about.
