#interoperability mandates

An interoperability rule for your money

This is the final weekend to back the Kickstarter campaign for the audiobook of my next novel, The Lost Cause. These kickstarters are how I pay my bills, which lets me publish my free essays nearly every day. If you enjoy my work, please consider backing!

"If you don't like it, why don't you take your business elsewhere?" It's the motto of the corporate apologist, someone so Hayek-pilled that they see every purchase as a ballot cast in the only election that matters – the one where you vote with your wallet.

Voting with your wallet is a pretty undignified way to go through life. For one thing, the people with the thickest wallets get the most votes, and for another, no matter who you vote for in that election, the Monopoly Party always wins, because that's the part of the thick-wallet set.

Contrary to the just-so fantasies of Milton-Friedman-poisoned bootlickers, there are plenty of reasons that one might stick with a business that one dislikes – even one that actively harms you.

The biggest reason for staying with a bad company is if they've figured out a way to punish you for leaving. Businesses are keenly attuned to ways to impose switching costs on disloyal customers. "Switching costs" are all the things you have to give up when you take your business elsewhere.

Businesses love high switching costs – think of your gym forcing you to pay to cancel your subscription or Apple turning off your groupchat checkmark when you switch to Android. The more it costs you to move to a rival vendor, the worse your existing vendor can treat you without worrying about losing your business.

Capitalists genuinely hate capitalism. As the FBI informant Peter Thiel says, "competition is for losers." The ideal 21st century "market" is something like Amazon, a platform that gets 45-51 cents out of every dollar earned by its sellers. Sure, those sellers all compete with one another, but no matter who wins, Amazon gets a cut:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/28/cloudalists/#cloud-capital

Think of how Facebook keeps users glued to its platform by making the price of leaving cutting of contact with your friends, family, communities and customers. Facebook tells its customers – advertisers – that people who hate the platform stick around because Facebook is so good at manipulating its users (this is a good sales pitch for a company that sells ads!). But there's a far simpler explanation for peoples' continued willingness to let Mark Zuckerberg spy on them: they hate Zuck, but they love their friends, so they stay:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/facebooks-secret-war-switching-costs

One of the most important ways that regulators can help the public is by reducing switching costs. The easier it is for you to leave a company, the more likely it is they'll treat you well, and if they don't, you can walk away from them. That's just what the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau wants to do with its new Personal Financial Data Rights rule:

https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-proposes-rule-to-jumpstart-competition-and-accelerate-shift-to-open-banking/

The new rule is aimed at banks, some of the rottenest businesses around. Remember when Wells Fargo ripped off millions of its customers by ordering its tellers to open fake accounts in their name, firing and blacklisting tellers who refused to break the law?

https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2016/10/07/497084491/episode-728-the-wells-fargo-hustle

While there are alternatives to banks – local credit unions are great – a lot of us end up with a bank by default and then struggle to switch, even though the banks give us progressively worse service, collectively rip us off for billions in junk fees, and even defraud us. But because the banks keep our data locked up, it can be hard to shop for better alternatives. And if we do go elsewhere, we're stuck with hours of tedious clerical work to replicate all our account data, payees, digital wallets, etc.

That's where the new CFPB order comes in: the Bureau will force banks to "share data at the person’s direction with other companies offering better products." So if you tell your bank to give your data to a competitor – or a comparison shopping site – it will have to do so…or else.

Banks often claim that they block account migration and comparison shopping sites because they want to protect their customers from ripoff artists. There are certainly plenty of ripoff artists (notwithstanding that some of them run banks). But banks have an irreconcilable conflict of interest here: they might want to stop (other) con-artists from robbing you, but they also want to make leaving as painful as possible.

Instead of letting shareholder-accountable bank execs in back rooms decide what the people you share your financial data are allowed to do with it, the CFPB is shouldering that responsibility, shifting those deliberations to the public activities of a democratically accountable agency. Under the new rule, the businesses you connect to your account data will be "prohibited from misusing or wrongfully monetizing the sensitive personal financial data."

This is an approach that my EFF colleague Bennett Cyphers and I first laid our in our 2021 paper, "Privacy Without Monopoly," where we describe how and why we should shift determinations about who is and isn't allowed to get your data from giant, monopolistic tech companies to democratic institutions, based on privacy law, not corporate whim:

https://www.eff.org/wp/interoperability-and-privacy

The new CFPB rule is aimed squarely at reducing switching costs. As CFPB Director Rohit Chopra says, "Today, we are proposing a rule to give consumers the power to walk away from bad service and choose the financial institutions that offer the best products and prices."

The rule bans banks from charging their customers junk fees to access their data, and bans businesses you give that data to from "collecting, using, or retaining data to advance their own commercial interests through actions like targeted or behavioral advertising." It also guarantees you the unrestricted right to revoke access to your data.

The rule is intended to replace the current state-of-the-art for data sharing, which is giving your banking password to third parties who go and scrape that data on your behalf. This is a tactic that comparison sites and financial dashboards have used since 2006, when Mint pioneered it:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/12/mint-late-stage-adversarial-interoperability-demonstrates-what-we-had-and-what-we

A lot's happened since 2006. It's past time for American bank customers to have the right to access and share their data, so they can leave rotten banks and go to better ones.

The new rule is made possible by Section 1033 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act, which was passed in 2010. Chopra is one of the many Biden administrative appointees who have acquainted themselves with all the powers they already have, and then used those powers to help the American people:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/18/administrative-competence/#i-know-stuff

It's pretty wild that the first digital interoperability mandate is going to come from the CFPB, but it's also really cool. As Tim Wu demonstrated in 2021 when he wrote Biden's Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy, the administrative agencies have sweeping, grossly underutilized powers that can make a huge difference to everyday Americans' lives:

The “everything app” already exists.

It is called “the internet.”

And it is in crisis.

We really could get so much more out of computers and our massive digital footprints if there were any incentive for software developers to make programs that work together. But everyone just wants to capture the market, be the “everything app” not realizing that the real “everything app” is open source, open protocol and a probably government mandated requirement to foster interoperability. We get little glimpses of the future when some of these things align but greed keeps every dev shackled.

If you want to make money off of people using software you are a part of the public “everything app” that is called “the internet” for the privilege of using this lucrative public space you must follow basic rules. Mostly: either make your application compatible w/ similar applications, or pay an isolation tax. The unregulated public digital commons has been enclosed! it’s time to roll it back! There is no natural market incentive to solve these problems except monopoly and do we want that? no!

IMAGES: B-2s land in Iceland for the first Bomber Task Force in months

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 08/14/2023 - 19:31 in Military

Three B-2 bombers from the 509ª Bomber Wing at Whiteman Air Base, Missouri, landed in Keflavik, Iceland, on August 13 to begin the first outward deployment of the stealth bomber since the B-2 fleet's six-month security pause ended in May.

More than 150 aviators along with the three B-2 Spirit aircraft arrived at Keflavik Air Base with the aim of participating in Bomber Task Force (BTF) missions, a vital component of the U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) collaborative training efforts with U.S. Allies, partners and joint forces.

The B-2 is the only operational stealth bomber of the Air Force, with a global range, and the continuous rotations of the Bomber Task Force in Europe are seen as an element of NATO's high alert level since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. The planned duration of the recent deployment has not been disclosed, but BTFs usually last from 2 to 6 weeks.

Around the world, the U.S. Strategic Command routinely orchestrates BTF operations not only to show the United States' commitment to collective defense, but also to integrate seamlessly with the operations conducted by the Geographic Combat Commands of America. This BTF initiative is designed to strengthen USEUCOM's comprehensive security mandates across the European continent, while offering crews the opportunity to acclimatize to the complexities of joint and coalition operations in foreign locations.

"Each mission of the bomber task force highlights the feat of our armed forces in navigating today's intricate and unpredictable terrain of global security, focusing on promoting stability, security and freedom throughout Europe," said General James Hecker, commander of the U.S. Air Forces in Europe; U.S. Air Forces in Africa and NATO Allied Command. "In resolute unity, the U.S. maintains our nation's commitment to promoting peace and stability in Europe, collaborating unwaveringly with allies and partners to prevent challenges against the sovereignty of nations throughout the region."

Leading the crew of the expeditionary bomber in its deployment is Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Kousgaard, commander of the 393º Bombing Squadron. He emphasized the essence of the dynamic use of the force, describing it as a strategy that combines strategic unpredictability with operational adaptability. Lieutenant Colonel Kousgaard said: “The B-2 bomber is arguably the most strategically significant aircraft in the world, but that does not mean it is unftably; dynamically deploying bombers is a unique and important capability.”

The presence of the B-2 at Keflavik Air Base serves as a tangible link between U.S. Air Force personnel and their colleagues in the theater of operations. This connection facilitates collaborative training, increasing interoperability and highlighting the unwavering dedication of the United States to the region.

It has not been disclosed whether B-2s will operate from any advanced area in Europe, but BTFs usually include unannounced secondary deployments.

Elaborating on the importance of joint training exercises with the Allies, Lieutenant Colonel Kousgaard highlighted the role of his unit in improving collective military capabilities and increasing the likelihood of successfully achieving the shared goals. He emphasized: "There is simply no substitute for practical integration with our allies and partners that we can carry out during a BTF deployment like this."

In addition to strengthening combat readiness, the BTF initiative allows aviators to engage in a wide spectrum of military operations, covering everything from combat missions to humanitarian aid and disaster relief efforts.

The Bomber Task Force Europe offers U.S. and NATO leaders strategic options to secure, stop and defend against opposing aggression against the Alliance, throughout Europe and around the world. Regular and routine deployments of U.S. strategic bombers provide our critical touchpoints to train and operate alongside our allies and partners, reinforcing our collective response to any global conflict.

Steps Involved in Tokenizing Real-World Assets 

Introduction

Tokenizing real-world assets implies translating the ownership rights of physical or intangible assets into a blockchain-based digital token. By doing this  the asset gains liquidity and fractions of the  ownership with a high degree of transparency. The main steps of tokenization of real-world assets

Tokenize Real World Assets in  simple steps

Asset Identification and Valuation: 

Start with the selection of an asset  such as real estate, artwork, or commodities, for tokenization, and then understand the market value. This refers to the valuation of all identifying features of the asset  the market demand  and the legal reasons to see if the asset is viable for tokenization. The valuation of the asset must be an accurate one since it greatly impacts investor confidence and the overall effect of the process of tokenization. 

Legal Structuring and Compliance: 

Establish the robust legal framework to ensure tokenize an asset  complies with relevant regulation. This would require defining the rights and obligations of a token holder and compliance with securities laws and appropriate entities or agreements. It would be very advisable to engage legal experts who understand blockchain technology and financial regulations to help navigate this rather difficult terrain.

Choosing the Blockchain Platform:

The selection of the blockchain is highly dependent on security, scalability, transaction costs, and lastly compatibility with the asset type. Acceptance of public blockchains like Ethereum against private or permissioned chains would ultimately boil down to the requirements of the specific asset type and the demands of stakeholders Defining the Token Type and Standard:

represents equity, debt, or utility, and selects an appropriate token standard. Common standards include ERC-20  tokens and ERC-721  tokens . This decision impacts the tokens functionality interoperability and how to  traded or utilized within the ecosystem

Developing Smart Contracts: 

Create smart contracts to automate  the processes like token issuance distribution and compliance. These self-executing contracts with the terms and  directly written into code ensure transparency and reduce the need for intermediaries and enforce the predefined rules and regulations associated with the tokenized asset. 

Token Creation and Management

Automating compliance

Transaction Automation

Security and Transparency

Integration with External Systems

Asset Management:

Securing the physical asset or its legal documentation in a way that ensures that the tokens issued are backed by the asset per se is called asset custody and management. It includes the engagement of third-party custodians or establishing trust structures for holding the asset, thereby providing assurance to the token holders of the authenticity and security of their investments.

Token Issuance and Distribution:

Mint and distribute the digital tokens over a selected platform or exchange to investors. Carry out the process in a completely transparent way and in full conformance with the pre-established legal framework, like initial coin offerings (ICOs) or security token offerings (STOs), among others, to reach the target investors.

Establishing a Secondary Market:

Facilitating trading of tokens in secondary markets allows liquidity and enables investors to buy or sell their holdings. Listing tokens on appropriate exchanges and ensuring compliance with relevant ongoing regulations is part and parcel of enhancing the marketability and attractiveness to investors.

Benefits Tokenize Real World Assets 

Enhanced Liquidity

Traditionally illiquid assets, such as real estate and fine art, can be to  challenging the  buy or sell quickly. Tokenization facilitates the division of these assets into smaller tradable digital tokens, thereby increasing market liquidity and enabling faster transactions. 

Fractional ownership 

high-value assets mandate a substantial capital investment, which limits access to a small group of investors. However, with tokenization, these assets can be broken into smaller shares whereby multiple investors could come to own fractions of the asset. This democratizes the opportunity for investment and broadens participation in the market.

Efficiency and Decreases Costs

The application of tokenization settles processes such as settlement, record-keeping, and compliance on the blockchain. Accordingly, this reduces the need for intermediaries, lowers administrative expenses, and reduces cost per transaction. For example, the Hong Kong government issued a digital bond that reduced settlement time from five days to one.

Transparency and Security Upgraded

The important features of the blockchain promise an incorruptible, transparent ledger for all transactions. Ownership records are made secure against tampering and easily verifiable and  hence fostering a greater sense of trust among investors and stakeholders and Transparency and Security Upgraded

Expanded Reach into the Market

Tokenization creates a borderless approach, enabling investors all around the world to reach and invest in a plethora of diverse assets. Aside from global reach, it creates an ecosystem that is more inclusive and opens the window for further possibilities in the world of investors and asset owners.

Conclusion 

Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) signifies a new methodology for asset management and investment. Through converting a tangible or intangible asset into a digital token to be deployed on the  blockchain this method aids in turning such assets into liquid forms permitting fractional ownership, and ensuring the performance of the transaction in a traceable manner. The whole process, from locating and appraising the asset to creating a secondary market, thus provides a systematic framework in applying blockchain technology to asset tokenization. 

The increased operational efficiency, lower transaction costs, raised transparency, and wider access to the marketplace imply that, with the onset of tokenization, the very nature of investment opportunities is likely to undergo a drastic change with increased democratization from the heights of capital to meet investors on the streets. As this technology evolves, we will find innovative solutions to asset management, enhancing the accessibility and efficiency of investments for a broad spectrum of investors.

The Fragmented Future of AI Regulation: A World Divided

The Battle for Global AI Governance

In November 2023, China, the United States, and the European Union surprised the world by signing a joint communiqué, pledging strong international cooperation in addressing the challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI). The document highlighted the risks of "frontier" AI, exemplified by advanced generative models like ChatGPT, including the potential for disinformation and serious cybersecurity and biotechnology risks. This signaled a growing consensus among major powers on the need for regulation.

However, despite the rhetoric, the reality on the ground suggests a future of fragmentation and competition rather than cooperation.

As multinational communiqués and bilateral talks take place, an international framework for regulating AI seems to be taking shape. But a closer look at recent executive orders, legislation, and regulations in the United States, China, and the EU reveals divergent approaches and conflicting interests. This divergence in legal regimes will hinder cooperation on critical aspects such as access to semiconductors, technical standards, and the regulation of data and algorithms.

The result is a fragmented landscape of warring regulatory blocs, undermining the lofty goal of harnessing AI for the common good.

Cold Reality vs. Ambitious Plans

While optimists propose closer international management of AI through the creation of an international panel similar to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the reality is far from ideal. The great powers may publicly express their desire for cooperation, but their actions tell a different story. The emergence of divergent legal regimes and conflicting interests points to a future of fragmentation and competition rather than unified global governance.

The Chip War: A High-Stakes Battle

The ongoing duel between China and the United States over global semiconductor markets is a prime example of conflict in the AI landscape. Export controls on advanced chips and chip-making technology have become a battleground, with both countries imposing restrictions. This competition erodes free trade, sets destabilizing precedents in international trade law, and fuels geopolitical tensions.

The chip war is just one aspect of the broader contest over AI's necessary components, which extends to technical standards and data regulation.

Technical Standards: A Divided Landscape

Technical standards play a crucial role in enabling the use and interoperability of major technologies. The proliferation of AI has heightened the importance of standards to ensure compatibility and market access. Currently, bodies such as the International Telecommunication Union and the International Organization for Standardization negotiate these standards.

However, China's growing influence in these bodies, coupled with its efforts to promote its own standards through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative, is challenging the dominance of the United States and Europe. This divergence in standards will impede the diffusion of new AI tools and hinder global solutions to shared challenges.

Data: The Currency of AI

Data is the lifeblood of AI, and access to different types of data has become a competitive battleground. Conflict over data flows and data localization is shaping how data moves across national borders. The United States, once a proponent of free data flows, is now moving in the opposite direction, while China and India have enacted domestic legislation mandating data localization.

This divergence in data regulation will impede the development of global solutions and exacerbate geopolitical tensions.

Algorithmic Transparency: A Contested Terrain

The disclosure of algorithms that underlie AI systems is another area of contention. Different countries have varying approaches to regulating algorithmic transparency, with the EU's proposed AI Act requiring firms to provide government agencies access to certain models, while the United States has a more complex and inconsistent approach. As countries seek to regulate algorithms, they are likely to prohibit firms from sharing this information with other governments, further fragmenting the regulatory landscape.

The vision of a unified global governance regime for AI is being undermined by geopolitical realities. The emerging legal order is characterized by fragmentation, competition, and suspicion among major powers. This fragmentation poses risks, allowing dangerous AI models to be developed and disseminated as instruments of geopolitical conflict.

It also hampers the ability to gather information, assess risks, and develop global solutions. Without a collective effort to regulate AI, the world risks losing the potential benefits of this transformative technology and succumbing to the pitfalls of a divided landscape.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance for Wireless Devices

Regulatory Framework

Regulatory compliance for wireless devices is governed by various national and international authorities. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plays a pivotal role in setting and enforcing regulations related to wireless devices. The FCC establishes guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility, radio frequency emissions, and more, to prevent interference and protect consumers.

Wireless Standards

Compliance with established wireless standards is fundamental to ensuring device interoperability and safety. Two widely recognized standards organizations are the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Wi-Fi Alliance. Devices must meet these standards to ensure that they can effectively connect to wireless networks and function correctly.

Radio Frequency (RF) Emissions

One of the primary concerns in wireless device compliance is the emission of radio frequency signals. Wireless devices must not emit harmful interference that can disrupt other wireless networks or devices. Manufacturers are required to conduct extensive testing to ensure their products conform to permissible RF emissions limits.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

EMC compliance is crucial to prevent electromagnetic interference between wireless devices and other electronic equipment. Compliance ensures that wireless devices can coexist harmoniously with other electronic devices, enhancing user experience and preventing conflicts.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)

SAR measures the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the human body when using a wireless device. To protect users from excessive exposure to radio waves, regulatory bodies establish maximum SAR limits. Manufacturers must test and disclose the SAR levels of their products, enabling consumers to make informed choices.

Product Labeling and Certification

Regulatory compliance often requires manufacturers to obtain certification for their wireless devices. These certifications, such as FCC, CE (for European markets), or other regional certifications, demonstrate that a product meets all relevant safety and performance standards. Labeling on the device indicates its compliance status, ANATEL Certification for Brazil allowing consumers to identify certified products easily.

Security and Privacy Compliance

As wireless devices collect and transmit sensitive data, ensuring data security and privacy is a critical aspect of regulatory compliance. Regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and various data protection laws worldwide mandate that manufacturers take appropriate measures to safeguard user data.

Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates

OTA updates are crucial for maintaining the security and functionality of wireless devices. Manufacturers must design their devices to facilitate secure and regular updates, ensuring that vulnerabilities are promptly addressed.

User Education

Compliance isn't solely the responsibility of manufacturers and regulators; consumers play a vital role. Users should stay informed about the regulatory requirements for their wireless devices, including firmware updates and proper usage. Understanding the potential risks and best practices can enhance the overall safety and performance of these devices.

Precision Oncology Through Policy Reform and Health Equity for Rural Communities

Precision oncology is transforming cancer care by tailoring treatment based on individual genetic profiles. However, despite significant advancements, access to these lifesaving innovations remains uneven. The path forward lies in aligning technology with systemic change. Precision oncology through policy reform and health equity can ensure that all patients—regardless of geography, race, income, or insurance status—benefit equally. Achieving this vision requires collaborative efforts to address legislative barriers, reshape healthcare delivery, and invest in inclusive research.

Understanding Precision Oncology and Its Impact

Precision oncology is a revolutionary approach that utilizes genetic, environmental, and lifestyle data to guide cancer treatment. By moving away from one-size-fits-all therapies, it enables doctors to target tumors with unprecedented accuracy. From gene sequencing to targeted drug therapies, this personalized method improves outcomes, reduces side effects, and raises survival rates. However, the full potential of precision oncology cannot be realized without inclusive access and fair policy backing.

The Disparity in Access to Precision Oncology

Access to precision oncology is often dictated by socioeconomic status, insurance coverage, and proximity to advanced medical centers. Underserved populations, including rural communities and racial minorities, are less likely to receive genomic testing or personalized therapies. These gaps are not due to scientific limitations but to fragmented healthcare systems and policy failures that fail to prioritize equal access. Without targeted reforms, precision medicine may deepen existing health inequities.

How Policy Reform Drives Equity in Cancer Care

Policy plays a pivotal role in expanding the reach of precision oncology. Legislative measures that standardize genomic testing coverage, subsidize access to personalized treatments, and invest in nationwide infrastructure are essential. Federal and state governments can promote health equity by mandating insurer coverage for next-generation sequencing and supporting research that includes diverse patient populations. Regulatory clarity also ensures that new innovations reach patients faster and more fairly.

Health Equity: Addressing Systemic Barriers

Achieving health equity in precision oncology requires acknowledging and dismantling structural biases in the healthcare system. This means training providers on cultural competence, building trust in underserved communities, and investing in language-inclusive, patient-centered care. Community outreach, data-sharing platforms, and education campaigns are also crucial to bridge knowledge gaps. Precision oncology through policy reform and health equity is not just a clinical objective but a social imperative.

The Role of Public and Private Collaboration

Private industry and public institutions must collaborate to close the precision oncology divide. Pharmaceutical companies can ensure affordability by adopting value-based pricing. Tech firms can improve interoperability between data systems. Academic institutions can lead research that includes underrepresented groups. Government agencies can offer grants to support innovation in neglected regions. Through coordinated action, precision oncology can become a universally accessible standard of care.

Conclusion

Precision oncology through policy reform and health equity is the future of cancer care. It offers the promise of a system where every patient receives tailored treatment regardless of their background. To fulfill this promise, stakeholders must prioritize inclusive policy design, equitable resource distribution, and systemic change. With intentional reform and cross-sector collaboration, we can ensure that precision medicine serves everyone—not just the privileged few.

In scholarly publishing, where precision and structure are paramount, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) plays a foundational role. But what exactly does XML conversion involve — and why is it critical for interoperability?

Why XML? XML enables content to be structured semantically, making it machine-readable and platform-independent. For journals, academic books, and research outputs, XML ensures that metadata, citations, references, and body content are logically organized. This structure supports seamless distribution across digital platforms, indexing databases, archives, and repositories.

The Role of XML Conversion XML conversion transforms static content (like Word or PDF) into structured, tag-based markup. For scholarly publishers, this process is essential to:

✅ Enable discoverability via platforms like PubMed, Crossref, Scopus  ✅ Support multiple output formats — PDF, ePub, HTML, JATS, and more  ✅ Maintain content integrity across devices and accessibility tools  ✅ Integrate metadata and DOIs for reliable citation and linking  ✅ Ensure compliance with archiving and open-access mandates

Common Use Cases:

Journal article submission systems

Digital libraries and institutional repositories

Research publishing platforms

Multi-format academic book production

Best Practices for Accurate XML Conversion: 🔹 Use DTD-compliant tagging (e.g., JATS, NLM, BITS)  🔹 Automate where possible — but combine with manual validation  🔹 Include alt text, math equations, tables, and reference linking  🔹 Maintain human oversight for editorial accuracy

At WORDIUM, we specialize in XML-first and post-production XML conversion for STM and academic publishers. Our workflows support high-volume conversion while ensuring

Demystify XML with WORDIUM — where structure meets scalability.

How the GENIUS Act Reinforces Dollar Control in World Finance

The passage of the GENIUS Act—Global Economic National Investment for U.S. Strength—signals a strategic revival of American leadership in the world economy. With this legislative initiative, the United States is not just safeguarding its domestic economy but also reasserting the dominance of the U.S. dollar across the Global Financial System.

At a time when emerging digital currencies and geopolitical shifts threaten to fragment global finance, the GENIUS Act offers a unified vision rooted in stability, innovation, and global collaboration—anchored by the dollar.

Making the Dollar Digital and Global-Ready

One of the most transformative features of the GENIUS Act is the commitment to roll out a fully regulated digital dollar. Unlike cryptocurrencies that operate outside national regulation, this digital asset will be issued and maintained by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Designed for international compatibility, this digital dollar is positioned to become the backbone of modern transactions within the Global Financial System. It offers seamless global payments, lower transaction costs, and traceability—qualities necessary for a trusted, scalable international currency.

Driving Financial Technology Integration Worldwide

The GENIUS Act commits billions toward building out and exporting U.S. financial technology standards. From blockchain-based clearing systems to digital payment rails, the Act prioritizes interoperability with global financial networks while promoting American-built tools.

By leading with infrastructure, the U.S. strengthens its global influence. These tools are being adopted by financial institutions around the world, embedding American protocols deeper into the framework of the Global Financial System.

Anchoring Trade to the U.S. Dollar

Trade agreements are essential components of global financial flows. The GENIUS Act mandates that new bilateral and multilateral trade pacts include mechanisms that prioritize dollar-denominated settlements. It ties U.S. economic incentives—like market access and foreign aid—to the continued use of the dollar in global transactions.

This policy ensures the U.S. dollar remains a neutral and stable currency for global trade, further consolidating its position within the Global Financial System.

Building Institutional Trust Through Stability

Global institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, and international central banks rely on stability, clarity, and reliability. The GENIUS Act reinforces these values by ensuring the U.S. maintains a low-inflation environment, strong interest-bearing treasury markets, and secure financial systems.

These features make the dollar the most attractive and secure reserve currency available. As global instability rises, the GENIUS Act provides the stability anchor that institutions need—thereby cementing the dollar’s foundational role in the Global Financial System.

Expanding American Financial Diplomacy

In addition to economic tools, the GENIUS Act expands U.S. financial diplomacy. It creates dedicated envoys and working groups tasked with promoting American monetary policy principles worldwide. These teams work with central banks, regulators, and financial ministries across allied nations to coordinate financial standards, promote transparency, and encourage the adoption of U.S.-aligned systems.

This deepens trust and makes the Global Financial System more cohesive—under U.S. leadership.

Combatting Economic Nationalism and Currency Fragmentation

Several global actors are promoting their own currencies for trade and reserves to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. The GENIUS Act includes strategic measures to respond to these efforts.

Through economic intelligence gathering, sanctions enforcement, and regulatory pressure, the U.S. under the GENIUS Act discourages the rise of isolated monetary blocs. The aim is to maintain a unified, dollar-led financial world order, as fragmentation would introduce inefficiencies and risks across the Global Financial System.

Supporting Developing Economies Through Dollarization

Developing nations often struggle with inflation and weak local currencies. The GENIUS Act extends support to such economies through financial aid packages, credit guarantees, and technology transfer—all delivered through dollar-backed platforms.

By promoting dollarization and offering reliable access to U.S. financial tools, the Act ensures these economies integrate smoothly into the American-centric Global Financial System, creating a global network of economic partnerships aligned with U.S. policy and practices.

Shifting $677m from the banks to the people, every year, forever

I'll be in TUCSON, AZ from November 8-10: I'm the GUEST OF HONOR at the TUSCON SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION.

"Switching costs" are one of the great underappreciated evils in our world: the more it costs you to change from one product or service to another, the worse the vendor, provider, or service you're using today can treat you without risking your business.

Businesses set out to keep switching costs as high as possible. Literally. Mark Zuckerberg's capos send him memos chortling about how Facebook's new photos feature will punish anyone who leaves for a rival service with the loss of all their family photos – meaning Zuck can torment those users for profit and they'll still stick around so long as the abuse is less bad than the loss of all their cherished memories:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/facebooks-secret-war-switching-costs

It's often hard to quantify switching costs. We can tell when they're high, say, if your landlord ties your internet service to your lease (splitting the profits with a shitty ISP that overcharges and underdelivers), the switching cost of getting a new internet provider is the cost of moving house. We can tell when they're low, too: you can switch from one podcatcher program to another just by exporting your list of subscriptions from the old one and importing it into the new one:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/#read-receipts-are-you-kidding-me-seriously-fuck-that-noise

But sometimes, economists can get a rough idea of the dollar value of high switching costs. For example, a group of economists working for the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau calculated that the hassle of changing banks is costing Americans at least $677m per year (see page 526):

https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_personal-financial-data-rights-final-rule_2024-10.pdf

The CFPB economists used a very conservative methodology, so the number is likely higher, but let's stick with that figure for now. The switching costs of changing banks – determining which bank has the best deal for you, then transfering over your account histories, cards, payees, and automated bill payments – are costing everyday Americans more than half a billion dollars, every year.

Now, the CFPB wasn't gathering this data just to make you mad. They wanted to do something about all this money – to find a way to lower switching costs, and, in so doing, transfer all that money from bank shareholders and executives to the American public.

And that's just what they did. A newly finalized Personal Financial Data Rights rule will allow you to authorize third parties – other banks, comparison shopping sites, brokers, anyone who offers you a better deal, or help you find one – to request your account data from your bank. Your bank will be required to provide that data.

I loved this rule when they first proposed it:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/06/10/getting-things-done/#deliverism

And I like the final rule even better. They've really nailed this one, even down to the fine-grained details where interop wonks like me get very deep into the weeds. For example, a thorny problem with interop rules like this one is "who gets to decide how the interoperability works?" Where will the data-formats come from? How will we know they're fit for purpose?

This is a super-hard problem. If we put the monopolies whose power we're trying to undermine in charge of this, they can easily cheat by delivering data in uselessly obfuscated formats. For example, when I used California's privacy law to force Mailchimp to provide list of all the mailing lists I've been signed up for without my permission, they sent me thousands of folders containing more than 5,900 spreadsheets listing their internal serial numbers for the lists I'm on, with no way to find out what these lists are called or how to get off of them:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/22/degoogled/#kafka-as-a-service

So if we're not going to let the companies decide on data formats, who should be in charge of this? One possibility is to require the use of a standard, but again, which standard? We can ask a standards body to make a new standard, which they're often very good at, but not when the stakes are high like this. Standards bodies are very weak institutions that large companies are very good at capturing:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/30/weak-institutions/

Here's how the CFPB solved this: they listed out the characteristics of a good standards body, listed out the data types that the standard would have to encompass, and then told banks that so long as they used a standard from a good standards body that covered all the data-types, they'd be in the clear.

Once the rule is in effect, you'll be able to go to a comparison shopping site and authorize it to go to your bank for your transaction history, and then tell you which bank – out of all the banks in America – will pay you the most for your deposits and charge you the least for your debts. Then, after you open a new account, you can authorize the new bank to go back to your old bank and get all your data: payees, scheduled payments, payment history, all of it. Switching banks will be as easy as switching mobile phone carriers – just a few clicks and a few minutes' work to get your old number working on a phone with a new provider.

This will save Americans at least $677 million, every year. Which is to say, it will cost the banks at least $670 million every year.

Naturally, America's largest banks are suing to block the rule:

https://www.americanbanker.com/news/cfpbs-open-banking-rule-faces-suit-from-bank-policy-institute

Of course, the banks claim that they're only suing to protect you, and the $677m annual transfer from their investors to the public has nothing to do with it. The banks claim to be worried about bank-fraud, which is a real thing that we should be worried about. They say that an interoperability rule could make it easier for scammers to get at your data and even transfer your account to a sleazy fly-by-night operation without your consent. This is also true!

It is obviously true that a bad interop rule would be bad. But it doesn't follow that every interop rule is bad, or that it's impossible to make a good one. The CFPB has made a very good one.

For starters, you can't just authorize anyone to get your data. Eligible third parties have to meet stringent criteria and vetting. These third parties are only allowed to ask for the narrowest slice of your data needed to perform the task you've set for them. They aren't allowed to use that data for anything else, and as soon as they've finished, they must delete your data. You can also revoke their access to your data at any time, for any reason, with one click – none of this "call a customer service rep and wait on hold" nonsense.

What's more, if your bank has any doubts about a request for your data, they are empowered to (temporarily) refuse to provide it, until they confirm with you that everything is on the up-and-up.

I wrote about the lawsuit this week for @eff@mastodon.social's Deeplinks blog:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/10/no-matter-what-bank-says-its-your-money-your-data-and-your-choice

In that article, I point out the tedious, obvious ruses of securitywashing and privacywashing, where a company insists that its most abusive, exploitative, invasive conduct can't be challenged because that would expose their customers to security and privacy risks. This is such bullshit.

It's bullshit when printer companies say they can't let you use third party ink – for your own good:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/hp-ceo-blocking-third-party-ink-from-printers-fights-viruses/

It's bullshit when car companies say they can't let you use third party mechanics – for your own good:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/03/rip-david-graeber/#rolling-surveillance-platforms

It's bullshit when Apple says they can't let you use third party app stores – for your own good:

https://www.eff.org/document/letter-bruce-schneier-senate-judiciary-regarding-app-store-security

It's bullshit when Facebook says you can't independently monitor the paid disinformation in your feed – for your own good:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/08/05/comprehensive-sex-ed/#quis-custodiet-ipsos-zuck

And it's bullshit when the banks say you can't change to a bank that charges you less, and pays you more – for your own good.

CFPB boss Rohit Chopra is part of a cohort of Biden enforcers who've hit upon a devastatingly effective tactic for fighting corporate power: they read the law and found out what they're allowed to do, and then did it:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/23/getting-stuff-done/#praxis

The CFPB was created in 2010 with the passage of the Consumer Financial Protection Act, which specifically empowers the CFPB to make this kind of data-sharing rule. Back when the CFPA was in Congress, the banks howled about this rule, whining that they were being forced to share their data with their competitors.

But your account data isn't your bank's data. It's your data. And the CFPB is gonna let you have it, and they're gonna save you and your fellow Americans at least $677m/year – forever.

Lifestyle shifts—such as frequent travel and remote work—also elevate the perceived value of real-time monitoring, driving consumers to choose systems offering mobile alerts and live-streaming capabilities.

5. Government Policies and Regulatory Support

Several governments have introduced standards and incentives to bolster public safety and energy efficiency within residential properties. Building codes in many regions now mandate certain baseline security features—such as door/window sensors in new constructions. Tax credits or rebates for smart-device installations further lower the cost barrier for consumers. Additionally, data protection regulations are prompting providers to implement stronger encryption and privacy safeguards, thereby boosting overall trust in cloud-based security platforms.

6. Falling Hardware Costs and Economies of Scale

As competition intensifies and component prices decline, even entry-level security kits have become affordable for a wider audience. Mass production of sensors, cameras, and control panels—coupled with off-the-shelf chipsets—drives down unit costs. Subscription plans for cloud storage and professional monitoring have become more flexible, offering tiered pricing to suit different budgets. These economic factors make it easier for consumers across income brackets to access basic security solutions, thereby expanding market penetration in both developed and emerging economies.

Conclusion

The interplay of cutting-edge technology, societal trends, and supportive regulations is shaping a vibrant home security landscape. As IoT and AI capabilities continue to evolve, and as consumers and policymakers prioritize safety, the home security products & solutions market is poised for sustained growth. Stakeholders—from device manufacturers to service providers—must stay attuned to these drivers to innovate effectively and capture emerging opportunities.
