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

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.

🚀 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.

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/...

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

Nemlig: Besparelser i mange år, dårlige normeringer, konkurrencekultur, dårlig digital dannelse, forbud, men også klimakrise, krig og meget mere - men det er så nemt at skyde skylden på sociale medier - især når ikke man respekterer forskning
Svend har en pointe her. Jeg skrev selv noget lignende i sommer, fordi vi er nødt til at se ud over det politisk opportune og det, der giver mange likes og i stedet interessere os for de måske lidt mere kedelige årsager til mistrivsel: www.altinget.dk/boern/artike...

Young people were becoming more anxious long before social media – here’s the evidence
Here’s why I disagree with Jonathan Haidt. Young people have been on a trajectory of worse mental health since before the advent of social media.

Thanks, danah, an excellent article that analyzes why the US election went the way it did - I hope the center-left in Europe reads along and learns
This political analysis on how “the contradictions of capitalism are intensifying” is searing but whipsmart.
