First Paper Second Draft - Is digital autonomy a requirement for effective regulation and protection

Much credit is due for the willingness to rethink. This is really the first draft of that rethought essay.

This draft is not well-structured. It runs out without a conclusion because there isn't one yet: you are clearing the ground for new construction. Noticeably—aside from a glancing reference to one device maker, Huawei—thinking beyond Europe means only the US. China and India are also relevant to the subjects under discussion. Europe's only significant interest in the quadrupling of the African population this century is to strengthen measures to keep Africans out of Europe. Both the US and Chinese platforms have a different orientation to that phenomenon; as usual in the geopolitics of the Net, India holds the balance of whether another idea beyond the polarities of surveillance capitalism and perfected despotism can be developed. One part of the new construction is to enlarge the floor plan.

The sociology you imply rather than conducting, concerning the attitudes of educated young people and their relation to the job market should again be taken in global context. At the societal level, we can describe attitudes to software much as we can discuss the social distribution of ideas about factory industrialization from, say, 1750-1850. Young Europeans and US Americans (in Atlanta, Boston, or New York as well as California) are only some of the people you might want to think about.
