CMDG was at the forefront of urging the CMA to adopt remedies to level the playing field with publishers in the transition to AI-enabled search. Now we urge regulators to ensure that the new requirements produce real-world outcomes, not merely procedural compliance.

Big Tech inserted itself between readers & publishers, buyers & sellers, workers & customers. Now it is inserting AI agents between you & everything else. A new report from @Sally_Hubbard asks the defining question of the next internet: Who do AI agents work for?
Open Markets Institute@openmarkets

Millions of Americans are beginning to rely on AI agents. But if those agents are controlled by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or Meta, whose interests are they really serving? NEW REPORT from OMI Senior Fellow @Sally_Hubbard: openmarketsinstitute.org/publications/w…

If you're concerned with your legacy, if you don't want to be remembered for helping dismantle democracy, focus on making markets actually work for the institutions we need to keep alive, like the free press.

This @JeffBezos interview was deeply misleading on so many counts, but chief among them is this: newspapers aren't going to magically become profitable unless we address the system that allows dominant platforms to stand between the news and revenue.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

SORKIN: Why lay people off at the Post? Why fire people? BEZOS: Because the Post needs to be a profitable enterprise that stands on its own two feet SORKIN: Does it? Some people say it should be a trust BEZOS: Yes. It's a measure of its relevance. If people aren't paying for our product, it's not a good enough product

Another hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP — this one involuntarily via layoffs. Reporters in big cities and state capitols. People who’ve broken some of the biggest stories of our time and improved the public’s understanding of important issues. It’s heartbreaking.

A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.
