‘How do scholars define Big Tech?
New pre-print by Victo Silva, Raphaël Gellert, and me.
We examine 225 articles to understand how scholars use the term ‘Big Tech’. We find that ‘Big Tech’ remains conceptually unsettled. For instance, scholars label 134 different companies as Big Tech.
It’s a pre-print, so we can still change things. Suggestions are welcome!

New pre-print by David Erdos. Looks interesting (but a bit depressing)
'Post-GDPR Regulatory Enforcement of UK Data Protection: Reality, Scrutiny, Oversight and Future (...)
Although this law has largely continued post-Brexit, UK regulatory realities are starkly - and generally increasingly – different.'

Data breaches, the Dutch child benefits scandal...
Should victims be given a new BSN number (national identification number)?
A creative and interesting idea.
But changing someone's BSN number would have too many disadvantages.
I therefore think it is an unwise idea.
I said this on the radio, on the show “Een Vandaag”.

Datalekken, de toeslagenaffaire…
Zouden slachtoffers een nieuw BSN-nummer moeten krijgen?
Een creatieve en interessante gedachte.
Maar er blijken te veel nadelen te kleven aan het veranderen van iemands BSN-nummer.
Ik vind het dus een onverstandig idee.
Dat zei ik op de radio, bij ‘Een Vandaag’. Het item begint om 1:07.

‘Elon Musk’s longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying.
The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January, according to the Guardian’s analysis of his social media output.’

‘There’s No Such Thing As An Easy Job’ by Kikuko Tsumura
A strange novel, with a strange atmosphere. The protagonist is a nameless woman who does several jobs in Japan.
The novel is a tad slow for my taste.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it.
