[governance] Guardian

[Jean-Christophe NOTHIAS]

Interesting quote:

The concerns expressed here with multistakeholderism are sounded as a general warning about the neoliberal directions in which it takes us, rather than a dismissal of the promising and important content of the commission’s report.

The report is at least sensitive to the need to keep all players – whether corporate or state – accountable, within the law, and responsive to a greatly enhanced set of tech norms and ethics, a point championed in particular by the group’s tech-savvy Dutch Liberal MEP Marietje Schaake.

However, it is a worry that the report does not even consider the mechanisms by which an international and social consensus might be achieved on the issues being addressed. The social compact may be advanced pragmatically, because better alternatives are not considered feasible or reachable. But the concern is that, by appealing to what is, in effect, self-regulation, the compact will become a diluted pacifier, and a ceiling, rather than a floor.
