Quick break for some exercise. I will return later this morning with coffee, freshly baked banana bread, and more updates on Europe.
#DigitalIndependance
Over the course of today, at a leisurely rate, I think we'll do a roundup of European efforts regarding #DigitalSovereignty and #DigitalIndependance. Europe and Canada have both struggled with this issue, but it's fair to say our allies across the Atlantic have been far more progressive and Digital Sovereignty has far more awareness with citizens and individual governments.
X and Grok have been the subject of media scrutiny for several months, certainly deserved, and have taken some of the focus off of other social media platforms. Meta and YouTube are currently defending their companies from a lawsuit alleging their algorithms lead to addiction. It's one of many moving through the court system. One app is may be the worst but all U.S. platforms can have negative impacts due to their algorithms.

Ich höre manchmal alte folgen von Dissens Podcast von @lukasondreka und in dieser Folge von 2020 muss man sagen, dass sehr viele Takes zu #BigTech und #DigitalIndependance sich in den 6 Jahren leider bewahrheitet haben.

EU helps us become digital indipendant
When everybody changes each week to some other item, one uses, it'll go fast
When everybody also tells someone about it, helps the other to change to, we become a circle
EU helps but eventualy we have to do it ourselves
Great sidewin, not 1 owner gets very rich by selling advertisemends over our heads... 😉

Det är väldigt ironiskt hur politiker använder hämnd- och barnporr-appen X för att beklaga sig över rättspåföljderna för sexbrott. Appen ägs av en kriminell sexist, ändå väljer svenska makthavare att legitimera och normalisera plattformen genom att flytta det demokratiska samtalet dit. Simona Mohamsson, Theresa Carvalho, Nina Larsson: Med ett så insiktslöst agerande blir det uteslutet att ge er förtroende i nästa val. #SvPol #DigitalIndependance #LeaveX
The EU-commission calls for evidence that a European Open Source framework is needed. I replied and hope even more people will:
