Amazon is a perfect #enshittification parable - platforms subsidize end users until they're locked in, then make life good for business customers at users' expense, until *they're* locked in, then claw back all the value they can, leaving just enough to keep the lock-in going.

🇱🇧 | Le ministère de la Justice a demandé aux autorités judiciaires d'arrêter le directeur de la Banque du Liban Riyad Salamé, son frère Raja Salame et son assistante Marianne Majid Hoayek, ainsi que de confisquer leurs biens et geler les comptes bancaires.

Cette demande intervient après que Salamé ne s'est pas présenté le 15 mars à une audience tenue par un tribunal libanais avec des enquêteurs européens chargés d'enquêter sur les allégations portées contre lui, notamment "la corruption, la contrefaçon, le blanchiment d'argent,
l'enrichissement illicite et l'évasion fiscale" .
Auparavant, Salamé avait déjà évité à plusieurs reprises l'arrestation et l'interrogatoire grâce à la protection des États-Unis.

However, the symbolism in the design also creates some unfortunate implications (as far as I can tell from the description):
🧵
1) 'Languages are separable and countable'. This notion is deeply rooted in everyday linguistic thought. The garden has exactly 25 steles for 25 languages, each one monolithic representations. They don't touch, overlap, intersect. A rather sterile view on multilingualism.
2) 'Multilingualism is official multilingualism'. The garden represents the 24 official EU languages plus Luxembourgish. The numerous other languages used by and significant for thousands of people in Europe are not part of the main pattern in the design.

Why does the state never win in claims under the #EnergyCharterTreaty and how is #Luxembourg 🇱🇺connected to some of these claims?
The example of Abengoa Spain can give an insight in these questions:
Spain is the most sued country under the Energy Charter Treaty: it accumulates 50 lawsuits and a claimed amount of more than 10 billion euros. The solution is very simple: to avoid this waste of public money, the exit from the Treaty must be initiated.
In a claim under the #EnergyCharterTreaty it can never be said that "the State has won": the defence costs alone amount to millions of euros. As in the case of Abengoa Spain, Spain will have to pay 6.7 million taxpayers money only in process costs.
