Att EU nu riktar in sig på designen i sig innebär ett ansvarsskifte, enligt Per Axbom. Det som tidigare betraktats som en fråga för användarupplevelse och etik får nu rättsliga konsekvenser.
– Företag kan inte […] systematiskt utnyttja mänskliga svagheter utan att riskera sanktioner.

Efter Tiktok: Så kan EU:s designkrav slå mot fler digitala tjänster
EU:s kritik mot Tiktoks design flyttar fokus från innehåll till konstruktion. Infinite scroll och pushnotiser kan nu göra UX till en compliance-fråga även för andra digitala tjänster.

Tänk om man lade mer resurser på skola, BUP, socialtjänst och fungerande hvb-hem. Vi har matats med barnfängelse som det enda alternativet utan att Strömmer fått speciellt raka frågor om varför man inte storsatsar på de områden som verkligen skulle göra skillnad.

From license-plate readers to drones and cell-site simulators, ICE relies on a growing web of surveillance.

When people misuse the word literally, they literally don’t.
Literally, it can be used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is *not* literally true or possible.
Meaning there literally is no word for literally. 🤯

Computing power propagates this temptation of abuse: reducing fellow human beings, or even oneself, into what can be counted, weighed and measured.
This omnipresent, invisible threat is the whole reason tech must be governed and regulated to support sustainability and human dignity.

After officials did nothing with the information from the first bestseller, which contains the Trump/Epstein rape documents, I wrote a new book about the methods they use to manage evidence. One is feigning shock to avoid accountability. They're doing it again now.

En faktaresistent regering driver igenom fängelse för 13-åringar
Motståndet bland remissinstanserna är massivt, befogat och motiverat. Regeringen hör inte, eller väljer att inte höra, och backar tillbaka Sverige mer än 100 år i tiden.
