Jeg følger Barne- og familieministeren på alt, at dagens sosiale medier er dårlige plattformer for offentlig debatt, at det er skadelig, osv., Men for ungdommen er det i praksis den eneste de har. Derfor må myndighetene ta sitt ansvar for infrastrukturen etter Grunnlovens §100.

For those just now entering the discourse on Digital Sovereignty, it has meant many things through the years, but a current meaning was articulated well already in 2002 by Peruvian Congressman Edgar Villanueva recherche.enac.fr/~alliot//vil...

Great! I fly in that morning, but will join you as fast as I can.

I might have gotten applaus for saying something to about labelling with Verifiable Credentials in AT proto in a workshop at the Nokios conference this afternoon 😃

We Need To Rewild The Internet  | NOEMA The internet has become an extractive and fragile monoculture. But we can revitalize it using lessons learned by ecologists.

Can't work because AWS?

It's a good time to read this piece if you haven't! www.noemamag.com/we-need-to-r...

It turned out really good though!

(+) EUs tek-regulering kan bidra til sensur. Men det virkelige problemet er at den ikke går langt nok Uansett hvor mye EU regulerer, er det USA og Kina som sitter med makten, skriver Martin Gedde-Dahl.

Som @martingeddedahl.bsky.social sier "Den som er opptatt av ytringsfrihetens fremtid, må selv bygge infrastrukturen den er avhengig av." www.morgenbladet.no/samfunn/eus-... Vi trenger bare offentlig støtte, så er vi klare til å løpe

As an oldtimer of Solid but newcomer to AT proto, it seems that AT proto is an RPC protocol, while Solid is near-REST. Solid seems to have a more general scope. Unfortunately, I think Solid is rather dead at this point. Happy to help pillaging it for parts though.

Høring – utkast til ny lov om digitale tjenester – gjennomføring av forordningen om digitale tjenester i norsk rett Digitaliserings- og forvaltningsdepartementet sender med dette på høring et forslag til lov om digitale tjenester (digitaltjenesteloven) som gjennomfører Europaparlaments- og rådsforordning (EU) 20222...

Mitt høringssvar til Digital Services Act slik det er foreslått innført til Norge: www.regjeringen.no/no/dokumente... Jeg prøver å adressere noen misforståelser, bare.

A castle where the weapons are pointing inwards.

I argue that @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social 's laser-focus on phones and age limits have had a very detrimental impact on the debate we really need to have, the need to completely replace the platforms. I have summarized my thoughts on my blog: kjetil.kjernsmo.net/2025/09/jona...

Når de politiske partiene bedrev reklame på Meta sine plattformer, f.eks. Facebook og Instagram, så sier partiene at det ikke er ulovlig atferdsbasert reklame fordi de bare begrenser på geografi? Men betyr det at det ikke er basert på personopplysninger? Nei, mener jeg.

So, I assert that we have had reason for building deliberative spaces for 25 years now, it is not a recent development.

The Internet and Democratic Discourse: Exploring The Prospects of Online Deliberative Forums Extending the Public Sphere Three prominent 'camps' have emerged within Internet democracy rhetoric and practice, each drawing upon different models of democracy: communitarian, liberal individualist and deliberative. Much i...

"the expansion of the public sphere through the Internet requires not only developing deliberative spaces but also attracting participation from citizens who have been socialized within a commercialized and individualized culture hostile towards public deliberation." -- Lincoln Dahlberg 2001:

I anledning at høringsfristen for aldersgrense på sosiale medier er i dag, poster jeg et innlegg fra i fjor om det: kjetil.kjernsmo.net/2024/10/fra-... Departementet ønsker å skape synergier ved at misbrukerne selv får bestemme hvordan alderen skal verifiseres.

Article 100. There shall be freedom of expression. No one may be held liable in law for having imparted or received information, ideas or messages unless this can be justified in relation to the grounds for freedom of expression, which are the seeking of truth, the promotion of democracy and the individual's freedom to form opinions. Such legal liability shall be prescribed by law. Everyone shall be free to speak their mind frankly on the administration of the State and on any other subject whatsoever. Clearly defined limitations to this right may only be imposed when particularly weighty considerations so justify in relation to the grounds for freedom of expression. Prior censorship and other preventive measures may not be applied unless so required in order to protect children and young persons from the harmful influence of moving pictures. Censorship of letters may only be imposed in institutions. Everyone has a right of access to documents of the State and municipalities and a right to follow the proceedings of the courts and democratically elected bodies. Limitations to this right may be prescribed by law to protect the privacy of the individual or for other weighty reasons. The authorities of the state shall create conditions that facilitate open and enlightened public discourse.

Free speech isn't simply a protection against censorship. A better way to think of it is as a capability: a substantive ability to participate in public discourse.

This requires a safe, open, enlightened information environment. The Norwegian constitution gets that: lovdata.no/dokument/NLE...
