Did you know Amazon makes $37 billion a year—more than double the revenue of all the newspapers in the world combined—from its sponsored results alone? Yes, the same, spammy, sponsored results at the top of a search that bilk shoppers with fake or low-quality items and can starve legitimate businesses of traffic and revenue.This is one of the many insights shared by our guest this week, Tim Wu, in his new book, “The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity.” He argues that the defining story of the modern internet isn't openness or democratization, but rather wealth extraction: the ability of gatekeeping Big Tech platforms, such as Amazon, Facebook, or X, to take money from everyone else without actually providing net value in return. Platforms weaponize convenience, he writes, so switching to competitors or smaller platforms is designed to be exhausting. Add in AI technologies that foster emotional relationships with users, and our dependence on them may deepen even more.An author and professor at Columbia Law School, Wu served in the Biden administration as Special Assistant to the President for Technology and Competition Policy. He discusses with Bethany and Luigi why we should care about Big Tech value extraction and posits how Big Tech power arose in the first place: from centralized power to shareholder pressure, from poorly aligned corporate structures to nefarious intentions. Together, they also chart how we can make our way out of this era of extraction. They discuss the feasibility of treating Big Tech platforms like utilities, applying frameworks for structural separation between the platforms' various services, decentralizing digital network infrastructures through interoperability to allow users to switch more easily between different platforms, and how economic populism influences the political messaging around these issues. Ultimately, Wu makes the case for embracing a philosophy of decentralized capitalism to achieve a fairer and beneficial balance between public and private power. Read more from Tim Wu in ProMarket:The Consumer Welfare Standard is Too TaintedOver recent years, the antitrust law appears to be returning to its historical standard, the “competition and competitive process” standard, often referred to in the Supreme Court as the goal of “protecting competition.” In this post, Tim defends this trend for rule-of-law reasons and presents a realistic assessment of the legal system's capabilities and its limits.A Conversation with Tim WuA transcript of Tim Wu's keynote in conversation with Binyamin Appelbaum of The New York Times from the Stigler Center's annual Antitrust and Competition Conference archives.

For more than 50 years, the Environmental Species Act has regulated the way that farmers can use certain crop tools, like pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. But American farmers are experiencing the most significant change in ESA policy yet, as the judicial system compels the Environmental Protection Agency to adapt its policies and comply more precisely with the law as it's written. So in this episode, we're learning about how NCGA remains active in the public input process for this policy change, ensuring that growers do not lose access to the tools that help them feed and fuel the world. We'll speak with Dr. Becky Langer, NCGA's Director of Inputs and Innovation, about how the process is playing out, how NCGA has partnered with the EPA, and what the impact will be when it's all said and done.

This Day in Maine for Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
The FDA Group's Nick Capman sits down with Maria Vassileva, PhD—Chief Science & Regulatory Officer at the Drug Information Association (DIA)—for a grounded, forward-looking discussion on how regulators are actually using AI today, where the technology is going, and what life science organizations should be preparing for now.Maria draws on two decades of leadership across nonprofit, government-funded clinical research, and biomedical science programs—spanning patient registries, clinical trials, multi-stakeholder consortia, DEI initiatives, and regulatory strategy. As the head of DIA's global science and regulatory portfolio, she works closely with regulators, industry sponsors, academia, and technology developers to advance responsible, evidence-driven innovation.In this conversation, Maria breaks down the reality behind AI in the regulatory ecosystem: what's currently in use, how agencies are evaluating and validating tools, why risk-based tiers matter, and how the field is moving toward lifecycle oversight rather than one-time checks. She also highlights the ethical and equity considerations that must be embedded from the start and shares insights from global regulatory trends and DIA's convening role.Key topics discussed include:How regulatory agencies are already using AI internally for document-heavy workflows, safety surveillance, and information retrievalWhy validation must focus on end-to-end workflow integrity, not just the modelThe emerging role of risk-based tiers for AI-enabled toolsThe importance of lifecycle control frameworks such as TPLC and PCCPsGlobal convergence themes around transparency, bias mitigation, and human accountabilityHow agencies are preparing for increasing AI adoption—and what industry teams should be doing nowDIA's role as a neutral convener helping harmonize expectations and accelerate responsible innovationAbout The FDA GroupThe FDA Group helps life science organizations rapidly access the industry's best consultants, contractors, and candidates.

Today's special episode features Steve's recent Business Matters broadcast interview with Juliette Foster, featuring conversation about critical cybersecurity challenges facing organizations today. Steve and Juliette discuss targeted phishing, the growing threat of Crime-as-a-Service, the increase in AI-driven cybercrime, and more. Key Takeaways: Cyber attacks will continue to increase, and businesses must adjust. Regulators must strike a balance to have clear guidelines without stifling businesses. To take advantage of new technologies like AI, businesses must invest in upskilling their employees. Tune in to hear more about: Why cyber crime is on the rise (2:17) How cyber criminals target their victims (4:00) Solving the cyber skills shortage (29:02) Standout Quotes: “The bad guys only need to get lucky once and they can cause havoc. And so the sorts of numbers you are seeing are them plugging away at it, trying to break down defenses, trying to find a way through. And on the defensive side, of course, we have to be at the top of our game 24/7, and that's just impossible.” - Steve Durbin “We also have very complex supply chains now that obviously are made up of small to mid-size companies. [...] So an easier way of accessing some of this high value information is often via the third party. So you don't necessarily need to be attacking the larger enterprise. You can target a smaller to mid-size, which probably doesn't have the same level of defense, maybe not the same level of awareness. And because it's in the supply chain and sharing information, you can then access through to the larger enterprise.” Steve Durbin “You have to invest in actually looking at the skill sets that you need within your organization and making some hard calls, I think, as to whether or not you do have the right capabilities within your organization. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have to get rid of a lot of people. It means you probably do need to invest significantly in upskilling and training and thinking very hard about how you're going to use some of that new technology.” - Steve Durbin Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

With Jess running The Information's massive WTF conference and Sam off-grid on a mountain, Brit and Dave hold down the fort with Stuart Landesberg, CEO of Seneca, a Slow- and Offline-backed startup building autonomous firefighting drones. Between deep tech inside jokes, Stuart coins pro-America tech and breaks down how Seneca's five-drone strike teams deploy 500 lbs of foam across 30 square miles in under ten minutes—even at night. Wildfires now drain over a trillion dollars a year from the U.S. economy, and Seneca's model of detect early, respond fast, outperforms retrofitting homes or relying on pilots.

Bitcoin hit $116K before $3.45 billion in liquidations while stablecoins transferred a record $15.6 trillion with bots executing 70% of that volume. Host Tedd Huff, CEO of Voalyre, and BakerHostetler Partner Robert Musiala break down what happened in crypto this month and why it matters to your business now. The SEC issued two major no action letters creating roadmaps for DePIN networks and state bank custody while Treasury opened a 58 question comment period closing October 20th on Genius Act implementation. The Wolfsburg Group published global AML guidance requiring banks to know their customer's customer when serving stablecoin issuers as nine European banks formed a consortium to launch a MICA compliant Euro stablecoin by 2026. Market fragmentation accelerates as purpose built stablecoins target specific communities while USDT and USDC slip to 84% combined share despite growing absolute volumes. Security threats remain the biggest adoption risk even as regulatory clarity emerges. Learn the five moves compliance and product teams should make today: display fees before sends, segment use cases by ecosystem, publish clear redemption rules, run cross chain incident drills, and build a one page control map that speeds both sales cycles and audits. If you manage risk, product, or finance in payments or crypto, this episode gives you the regulatory context and practical steps to act without waiting for Congress.LINKSConfidential Informant:Robert A.

What happens when the surge in electricity demand comes faster than we can build the infrastructure to support it? Live in front of an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, host Ed Crooks leads a conversation on the future of the US energy grid, skyrocketing load from data centers and electrification, and why politics keeps getting in the way of practical solutions. Neil Chatterjee, the former Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), has spent a long time working on the interaction of markets and policy in energy. He says: “America needs to take the politics out – or the lights go out.” Is overzealous federal regulation really undermining the reliability of the grid? How can we win support for realistic solutions that will keep the lights on and ChatGPT on line. Joining Ed and Neil to discuss these questions is regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who is director of the Energy, Climate Justice & Sustainability Lab at NYU. She proposes that AI might not be the cause of both blackouts and a climate catastrophe. She argues that we might actually save more energy from using AI than we consume in powering the data centers that support it.Debating the issues with Amy, Ed and Neil is Cecilio Velasco, managing director in infrastructure at KKR, a global investment firm that deploys capital in infrastructure. Cecilio brings the investor view on what it will take to unlock the trillions in capital needed for a reliable and resilient energy system in the age of AI. The panel address the uncomfortable truth that the US may need every available electron – from wind and solar to batteries to nuclear power and gas – to meet its goals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Deutsche Bank's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has become one of the most glaring examples of systemic failure in modern banking oversight. Despite Epstein's 2008 sex-offense conviction and widespread public knowledge of his trafficking network, Deutsche continued to handle his accounts for years—processing millions in transactions that should have triggered Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) under anti–money laundering laws. Regulators later discovered that Epstein moved funds through dozens of entities, wiring large payments to women and alleged co-conspirators described in memo lines as “school payments” or “consulting fees.” Rather than flagging these for review, compliance officers reportedly waved them through. In 2020, the New York Department of Financial Services fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for what it called “significant failures in monitoring Epstein's transactions and relationships.” The investigation showed the bank maintained Epstein's accounts even after multiple internal warnings and public reports about his predatory history.The fallout didn't end there. In 2023, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by Epstein's victims, who alleged the bank knowingly profited from his trafficking enterprise. The lawsuit claimed Deutsche facilitated his abuse by allowing financial flows that sustained his network of recruiters, victims, and offshore shell companies. While the bank publicly stated it regretted its “association” with Epstein and pledged to tighten controls, critics argue its conduct went beyond negligence—it was willful blindness. Congressional oversight committees later revealed that Deutsche had processed over $1.5 billion in transactions linked to Epstein and his associates without timely SAR filings. To many observers, the episode epitomized how global banks too often treat the ultra-rich as untouchable, turning compliance into performance rather than protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, has seen his reputation and career unravel after revelations of a deeper-than-declared relationship with Jeffrey Epstein surfaced. Regulators found that Staley had misled both Barclays' board and the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) by characterizing his bond with Epstein as merely professional, when a trove of emails and correspondence suggested otherwise. The FCA banned Staley from holding senior roles in the UK financial sector and fined him—punishments he challenged in court but largely failed to overturn.Beyond regulatory action, Staley and Barclays now face class-action lawsuits in the U.S. alleging investor deception: shareholders claim the bank and Staley downplayed Epstein links to protect stock prices. A judge recently rejected efforts to dismiss the case, allowing it to proceed. Meanwhile, Staley has publicly accused the FCA of trying to “destroy” him, insisting he mostly had a professional relationship with Epstein and that he was transparent with regulatorsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Erie Meyer, Senior Fellow at Georgetown Law's Institute for Technology Law & Policy and Senior Fellow at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator, and Laura Edelson, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University, who are coauthors of the recent toolkit, “Working with Technologists: Recommendations for State Enforcers and Regulators,” join Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss how state enforcers and regulators can hire and better work with technologists, what technologists are and are not best-suited to help with, and what roles technologists can play across the different phases of enforcer and regulator casework. They also discuss how to best attract technologists to enforcement and regulation jobs; tips for technologists seeking to better communicate with those lawyers, compliance experts, and others in government with less technology background; and how this all fits into the future of AI, technology, and state and broader regulation.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
