Delighted to say that, after a period away, I am writing again for the Financial Times.
In tomorrow’s print edition is a long piece on Elon Musk’s and Mark Zuckerberg’s regulatory strategies.
And why recent events show that X and Meta are weak, not strong, when faced with determined state action.

From my FT article tomorrow:
“This corporate weakness in the face of determined state action should not be surprising. In any ultimate battle, the state will prevail over a corporation for the simple reason that a corporation as a legal person only has legal existence and entitlements to the extent set out by legislation. Those who control the law can, if they want, control and tame any corporate in their jurisdiction.”
