This person? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marietje_Schaake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marietje_Schaake … doesn’t seem so (authoritarian). Your comment is provocative, can you back that up with evidence?

    And? By its own description, that council doesn’t appear authoritarian. For reference, here’s how it describes itself… “To seize the benefits of rapid technological progress, while managing its risks, it is essential to foster responsible technology governance and regulation, advance the digital transformation of sectors and industries, and promote tech-enabled solutions to serve people and the planet. How can policies, regulations and institutions be transformed to scale technologies responsibly?” https://www.weforum.org/communities/gfc-on-technology-policy/ https://www.weforum.org/communities/gfc-on-technology-policy...

Can you elaborate? Quick scan of her Wikipedia entry and top Google hits doesn’t indicate an authoritarian bent. They all list her as a center-left progressive.

  Center left is already authoritarian IMO. She’s definitely not the worst, her views are on her medium: https://medium.com/@marietje.schaake https://medium.com/@marietje.schaake Take from it what you will. This very article reeks of authoritarianism. Read her blog, not the first time she’s advocated for bureaucratic regulation of tech companies.
