Europe Can Build Its Own Social Media Sebastian Vogelsang thinks policymakers are overlooking the potential for developing platforms on decentralized, open protocols.

European policymakers should designate open-source frameworks like the AT Protocol, the foundation for Bluesky, as critical infrastructure and invest in developing social-media apps on them, argues Sebastian Vogelsang.

When evaluating healthy environments we see high populations of indicator species. Such as salamanders.
When evaluating healthy AI we should similarly see high results for indicator metrics. Such as salamanders. 🦎

Good idea, we can develop indicator metrics.

Similar to how environmental scientists use indicator species to signal changes in an ecosystem. For example, salamanders are often used to detect shifts in habitat conditions, and canaries served as early warnings in coal mines.

Congratulations to you and to them

They are lucky to have you!
