They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Vipps ønsker å bruke kundenes kvitteringer og kjøpshistorikk til å målrette reklame. Forbrukerrådet mener dette bryter personopplysningsloven og at Vipps manipulerer brukerne til å gi samtykke.

Vi ber nå Datatilsynet se på saken: www.forbrukerradet.no/siste-nytt/f...

- The world needs digital anthropology, UNESCO stated in 2021. I have written a text (unfortunately in Norwegian) about what digital anthropology is and why UNESCO is putting this field on the agenda in our digital era 👇

Hva betyr det å være menneske i vår digitale verden?
Teknologi og mennesker påvirker hverandre. Verden trenger antropologiske perspektiver for det digitale skal bli mer menneskelig.

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!
