More than 500 researchers have signed an open letter against the dangerous EU proposal on chat control.

The proposal remains ineffective, undoes decades of results in E2E encryption, and threatens the privacy of half a billion citizens.

The EU wants to spend your money to assemble a giant mass surveillance machine with little effect on harm against children. Chat Control is not effective, weakens security for all and does not respect privacy. Contact your EU representatives and let them know.

I denne uge har jeg og en stor del af mine kolleger været værter for over 250 internationale kolleger på en forskningskonference i Århus, som mit forskningsmiljø afholder hvert 10. år.

UPDATE: US delegation that landed in Nuuk, Greenland to prepare the US visit is now packing gear and cars and leaving Nuuk.

The visit to 🇬🇱, including VP Vance, is now scheduled to only include the US space base Pituffik. Nothing else.

News Analysis: President Trump's decision to send a high-powered U.S. delegation to Greenland, apparently uninvited, is already backfiring. Greenland has blasted him as “aggressive” and asked Europe for backup, and the visit is strengthening bonds between Greenland and Denmark.

Thrilled to have Dan Russell here at @csaudk.bsky.social giving his AUCS colloquium on “People, AI, and Online Research”!

Denmark's largest grocery chain, Salling Group, has started labeling all European products in their stores. This makes it easier for consumers to boycott American products and buy European ones instead.

I spoke to University of Washington professor and Center for an Informed Public cofounder Kate Starbird about her team’s ongoing efforts to study online rumors during the 2024 US election; the differences between left and right media ecosystems in the US; and how she believes the field is changing.

Upopulær reform og erhvervskandidater ingen kan elske🥲

Bred enighed om behovet for langsigtede løsninger – men også en påmindelse om, at humaniora ikke skal overses.

Juleønske: En reform, der både rummer grundighed, forskning og reelle behov, eller ender vi med en Excel-øvelse, der skal byttes🎁
