Der neue Medienstaatsvertrag in D schreibt ARD, @zdfde.bsky.social & Co "zielgruppengerechte interaktive Kommunikation mit den Nutzern […] sowie verstetigte Möglichkeiten der Partizipation“ vor.
Eine Studie von @agoradigital.bsky.social liefert dazu Impulse: agoradigital.de/wp-content/u... 1/3
Cover der Studie "Dialogfunktion von Public Service Media"
Angenommen, die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen nähmen ihren Auftrag im Internet gnadenlos ernst - ohne Pfadabhängigkeit und "Aber die Tagesschau!": Wie sähe das aus?
Seit gestern macht 1 Studie der @agoradigital.bsky.social 1 paar Vorschläge - auch für den Weg dorthin.

Post on Truth Social from Donald Trump. He's reposting some rando MAGA account saying: More bad news for Gavin Newson, The world's largest employer Walmart is closing 250 stores in California citing $22 per hour minimum wage leaves them on competitive with their small profit margin, wewee that's a big number, this man has the fifth largest economy in the world and has a more than $20 billion budget deficit and he wants to be president of the whole United States and the sad part is there will be more than 60 million people that will vote for him. This is over a video supposedly about Newsom and Walmart.
So the President of the United States of America is posting to his personal social media network blatantly fake news videos that I'm pretty sure are AI generated slop. This one is supposedly about Gavin Newsom panicking that Walmart is pulling out of California (it's not).

Google has filed its $32bn acquisition of Wiz for EU clearance. The deal risks killing multi-cloud security and deepening lock-in, testing whether EU competition policy is willing to act, write Hilary Jennings, Claire Lavin, Çağrı Çavuş and Aline Blankertz.

The @ec.europa.eu will soon present “a combination of funding and policy measures” to support European open source projects in becoming commercially viable alternatives to proprietary US tech.

Europe’s Digital Markets Act aims to open ecosystems: alternatives to app stores, fair access to OS features, real interoperability. But for many free and open source developers, those promises remain fragile without robust enforcement, write Lucas Lasota, Dario Presutti and Jithendra Palepu.

But the US government wants us to believe that #BigTech is unfairly harassed and discriminated against in the EU. The truth is: the EU is the cash cow that helps finance #BigTech insane spending on #AI.

While the US government is escalating its campaign against EU tech regulation - just a reminder. It's the EU that is being taken advantage off. 120 Billion revenue for #Google #Meta #Amazon only in digitale advertising in Europe. And hardly paying any taxes on it.

Tech compliance theatre won't cut it anymore. Europeans want enforcement with teeth - up to revoking access to the Single Market for the worst actors. And Musk + X are the slop merchants par excellence.
Today’s 120 million euro fine against X under the Digital Services Act (DSA) will be spun as a decision against “free speech.” It’s not. (1/7) #digitalservicesact #dsa #dsa ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.
Holy shit.
Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

"Auf allen vier Plattformen wird die AfD am schnellsten [ausgespielt]. […] Bereits nach durchschnittlich 11–12 Minuten taucht zum Beispiel auf TikTok das erste AfD-bezogene Video auf, während es […] etwa 70 Minuten dauert, bis ein SPD-bezogenes Video vorgeschlagen wird."

Es ist das Jahr 2025. Deutschland hat seine Meinungsbildung an BigTech verloren. Doch in einer gemütlichen Landeshauptstadt in @rlp.de organisiert sich Widerstand – und 1 Reform des deutschen Medienrechts.
"Rundfunkkommission" klingt staubig? Ha!
