"Because we may not be able to deny adversaries a capable offensive AI tool, we must make them afraid to use it." My latest @TheDispatch:

The App Store Accountability Act is trying to solve a real problem. Kids are getting hammered by content and apps no parent signed up for, and the existing controls don't work. I get the impulse (I have four kids).
But the bill makes the problem worse, not better. Here's why.

AI is collapsing the cost of offensive cyber operations. Spear-phishing at machine speed. Autonomous intrusion. The defender's edge is shrinking fast.
In that world, a centralized database of every American child's verified identity isn't a safeguard. It's a target.

If we're serious about protecting kids, the answer is the opposite of what this bill builds: on-device age signals, OS-level brackets, parental controls that don't require a national identity registry as the cost of entry.
Good intentions. Wrong architecture. Especially now.

@EUCouncil Competition Chief Ribera says Brussels will "talk" to Washington about digital rules—but won't change them. "We cannot be subject to the will of a third country." That's not dialogue. That's a closed door with a press release taped to it. 🧵

The DMA and DSA aren't hypothetical. They're enforced, fines are accruing, and U.S. firms are absorbing discriminatory costs in real time. Every month USTR waits is a month Europe operates without consequence. That's not patience—that's subsidy.

The window for a resolution is open, but it won't stay that way. If USTR wants Europeans to engage seriously, one move changes the calculus more than any statement: open the Digital 301 investigation. Start the clock. That's the only signal Brussels has shown it actually hears.

As you read about Anthropic's Mythos capabilities to find critical security weaknesses, consider what if a Chinese AI company had gotten here first. There is a real race underway, and its in our interest I believe for U.S. companies to win.

EU lawmaker Andreas Schwab just told Washington to stop pushing back on EU tech rules. EU Commissioner Ribera called U.S. pressure "blackmail." USTR has one right answer: open a Digital 301 investigation. 🧵

He calls the DMA "a settled legal reality—not an opening bid." Fine. When settled law disproportionately targets one country's companies, it's a trade barrier. USTR should treat it like one.

Brussels is done talking. @USTradeRep should stop asking and start the clock on a Digital 301. Let the process do the talking.

1. New polling exposes the gap between Brussels and the people it claims to represent: 40% of EU citizens think replacing U.S. tech is realistic. 60% either disagree or don't know enough to say. 🧵

5. Between the DMA, the DSA, and now explicit displacement timelines, EU industrial policy is creating discriminatory market conditions for U.S. companies. @USTradeRep has both the authority and the obligation to respond.

6. Time to open a 301 digital trade investigation. Match EU policymaker ambitions with real consequences — and align U.S. trade posture with what a plurality of EU citizens already believe.
