This was a great roundtable, lots of important questions from the audience, giving the impression that data donations will be around for longer, if we get it right (based on comments from the audience on postcards) #aoir2025

We had a fabulous roundtable discussion with @anjabechmann.bsky.social @dscheykopp.bsky.social @tgrootkormelink.bsky.social @jiarut.bsky.social here at #aoir2025 that concluded with a thought exercise: "It's 2030 & data donation is the dominant data gathering paradigm, what must we get right today?"

Very impressive work presented by @anjabechmann.bsky.social - her team managed to get really impressive sample sizes and quite okay-ish dropout rates with #datadination, much better than previous work (also ours). #ica25

The threats to media freedom in the US are unprecedented

The administration sues media companies, intimidates journalists and news organisations, denies journalists WH access, encourages less facts, journalism, and safety on social media platforms.

Undermining free press is an attack on democracy.

The EUโ€™s Code of Practice on Disinformation is Now Part of the Digital Services Act. What Does It Mean? | TechPolicy.Press Tech Policy Press asked experts whether the Code's integration into the DSA will effectively mitigate disinformation while preserving free expression.

Putting the Code of Practice on Disinformation into the Digital Services Act *can* be a game changer vis-a-vis #disinformation

It needs compliance, monitoring.It puts ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ on further ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ conflict course
