Not the most important move in the world…. BUT it is significant when commercial companies also decide to leave X.

Next: all airlines using Amsterdam airport also saying 👋🏼 to X ??

Why is so much news focused on the ‘operation’ and the ‘logistics’ of the Venezuela invasion?

More is needed on the illegality, casualties, reasons for absent and lukewarm political reactions, precedent setting, and implications.

The US ‘sanctions’ 5 individuals for involvement in #DSA, platform regulation and content moderation, including fmr Commissioner Breton and NGO leaders.

Oppressive state behavior by the US, disguised as free speech fighting. Appalling.

Dutch public broadcaster NOS (finally) stops posting on X.

The disadvantages are seen as too big. The reach has dwindled.

In the category, 'better late than never': good choice.

Meta gets more time ⏲️

The Amsterdam Court grants Meta until December 31 to provide an algorithm free default option for users’ time line

Meta is now granted more time to fix things.

Meta appealed the original order but has to implement the changes before the appeal case.

Breaking: Dutch court rules that Meta needs to offer chronological/ non algorithmic feed as clear and stable option (to Dutch users).

Changes must be implemented in two weeks. 100,000 euro fine per day if non compliant.

Case brought fwd by @bitsoffreedom

Unimaginable a few weeks ago. But here we are. French university offering refuge to US scholars.

“It targets, but is not limited to, climate and environment, health, and human and social sciences.”

I was today years old when my 'home' academic association had to issue a statement that the 'evolving situation' in🇺🇸 is monitored ahead of a conference.

Letters for travel will not include paper titles. Because many of us research important topics.

In the bigger picture, small, for academics huge😢

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.

The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe.

Learning #Mastodon etiquette: so a short Introduction: I do research on #media, #journalism, #polcomm, #AI, #digital #tech, #politics and #democracy. I am based at U #Amsterdam and also direct the Digital Democracy Centre at U Southern Denmark. My interests are (too) broad, I am impatient, score high on #badhumor, energetic and generally optimistic. I am here to learn, frustrate Elon, and I will post mostly about work, but with occasional #dogsofmastodon, #running, and irrelevant photo content.
