California just passed a landmark privacy law — giving users the right to block browsers from sharing or selling their data once and for all.
Danish (and European) politicians should pay attention: they could simply follow California’s lead and copy the legislation. themarkup.org/privacy/2025...

After Axel Bruns’ talk at CFI’s 25-year anniversary, I’ve been rethinking “filter bubbles.” In dialogue with my MKVT students — and with Habermas & Meyrowitz — I argue the issue isn’t isolation but exposure. New blog reflection: jespertaekke.dk/archives/359 @snurb.info

så er det NU at politikere ikke længere må reklamere skjult på Metas platforme. Hvordan skal vi forstå det og er det godt eller dårligt? - og hvad betyder det for dem der søger valg i det kommenden kommunalval? www.copenhagen-review-of-communication.com/eu-har-sagt-... #valg25 #dkpol
EU har sagt stop: Hvad betyder det? Fra skjulte budskaber til offentlig samtale: Hvad lokalpolitikere skal vide om sociale medier efter EU's opgør med dark posts
EU forbyder skjulte politiske annoncer på sociale medier. Det stiller nye krav til lokalpolitikere, der nu må mestre åbenhed, strategi og digital dannelse i valgkampen.

Great—please ping me when your article is out. I’ve also shifted my view: to see GAI as a quasi-technology with a non-trivial, stochastic core that resists full control, while organizations can exert interface control via programs/policies. In short: limited deep control, strong surface steerability

Der vel ikke reglerne for social medier David - men måske jeg er ude af kontekst :)

It is really well written, David, and I very much agree. I have written six books on the subject myself, with the latest one in English: dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781.... Our approach is to avoid both prohibition and indifference, instead fostering reflexivity and achieving Bildung.

🚀 Nyt paper om teknologi, interaktivitet og digitale medier
Mit seneste arbejde undersøger, hvordan teknologi og interaktivitet former kommunikation – fra åbne netværk til algoritmisk styring. AI, blockchain og platformssamfundet analyseres gennem en teknologisociologisk optik inspireret af Luhmann.
pure.au.dk

Jeg opdaterer Bordewijk & van Kaam (1986) og Jensen (1999) om kommunikationens fire mønstre: transmission, konversation, konsultation, registrering. Digitale medier flytter magten over information, og interaktivitet sikrer ikke nødvendigvis demokrati. Læs mere: jespertaekke.dk/en/archives/...

This podcast reminded me of my work on Ben Williamson's 'nudgeocracy' and Byung-Chul Han's 'psychopolitics.' A thought-provoking and highly relevant discussion on the implications of nudging in education. Thank you for addressing such a critical topic!

what are the limitations? and what will happen in the Senate?
Shameful and stupid. ☹️

(We call that a Wednesday, in Australian politics.)
#BREAKING 🚨 The government's under-16s social media ban has passed the House of Representatives with support from the Coalition and four independents

A majority of the crossbench voted against the ban, as well as Liberal MP Bridget Archer

The bill now goes to the Senate
