Påminnelse. År 2025 lever 700 000 människor i materiell och social fattigdom i Sverige. Det är en ökning med 120 000 på ett år. Bara sedan 2021 har andelen fattiga nästan fördubblats, från 3,5% till 6,6%. Ojämlikheten skenar

Finally picking up this one! Been looking forward to it. Rachel and colleagues' perspectives have been greatly enriching to our project on substantive equality in AI, and I can think of no one more apt to write this book.

Brake up with Fake News
Danish national lexicon will no longer advertise on social media. This decision follows Meta's decision to deprioritise fact-checking.
Going forward, Lex.dk will spend its advertising budget on independent, national media that are committed to democracy.
