Honor to open the @algosoc.org int'l conference on the Future of Public Values.

Foregrounding public values in society, with the changing tech, politics, and power relationships is key.

As the AI Act is open for negotiations again, let's remember that AI is a *societal* challenge #AlgoSoc2025

Will Europe Sacrifice the Digital Services Act in Negotiations with Trump? | TechPolicy.Press Jakob Ohme, LK Seiling, and Claes H. de Vreese write that European leaders must protect the DSA to ensure a democratic future.

As EU-US relations change Europe must stand firm for the DSA

The DSA is imperfect, it cannot fix everything. But the DSA is a shield to defend European democracy.
