I fjor høst var jeg på Bjørnholt VGS på østkanten. Nå har jeg vært på Ullern VGS på vestkanten i Oslo. Det jeg har sett har satt meg ut. Jeg tok angsten deres med meg hjem. www.vg.no/i/eM0aXg?utm...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

🔥 Det har vært en helt vill 🤪 uke når det gjelder sosiale medier. ‼️ Zuckerberg fjerner faktasjekk på Facebook, Instagram. 🕵️‍♂️ Datainnbrudd kan ha rammet 146.000 nordmenn. ⚠️ Osloskolen ber Apple trekke omstridt reklamefilm.

Fuck you Facebook. That was the first thought I had when I woke up this morning. Followed by: What ministry is Mark Zuckerberg volunteering to manage for the dictators of the world? Ah, yes. The Ministry of Empowerment. And here's a rager of a blog post on this: www.zephoria.org/thoughts/arc...

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

📢 Just out as podcast: Episode 15: Edtech Privacy Parents Christer Veland’s journey is not just inspiring; it is a call to action for parents and guardians around the world. It emphasizes the importance of understanding school digital policies and engaging ... digi-dominoes.com/episode-15-e...

OK, WTH is going on with Meta? How do these changes affect your Facebook, IG and Threads posts? First, Meta is abandoning its third-party fact-checkers for community notes, like X. These fact-checking partners say they were "blindsided" by the decision to axe them. A thread ⏬

Anbefaler denne fra Torbjørn Færøvik om kinesiske cyberoperasjoner. Artikkelen gir en god og overordnet beskrivelse av dagens cyberaktivitet. Dersom Kina går inn for å ta Taiwan innen 2027/8, slik Xi Jinpings regime planlegger, eskalerer konfliktbildet betraktelig. www.nettavisen.no/norsk-debatt...

Mark Zuckerberg’s MAGA makeover will reshape the entire internet www.cnn.com/2025/01/07/m...

Social media is collapsing – Meta and Zuckerberg are following Trump and Musk’s policies. ‼️ They are drastically reducing content moderation under the rhetoric of FREEDOM and free speech. Fact-checkers are being removed.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

🎉🥳 Milestone! Today marks the six year anniversary of our GDPR complaint against Google! The case is still pending in Ireland, with no end in sight. There is an urgent need for streamlining enforcement, or the law is not worth the paper it’s written on.

Someone else just uploaded 2M Bluesky posts to Hugging Face with an Apache 2.0 license… And under Bias, Risks, and Limitations, they write: “the goal of this dataset is for you to have fun :)”. huggingface.co/datasets/alp...

Blue Sky people. How should we approach age verification in online services to apply moderations to have good social media services and more for kids and youth. Any good examples out there? #ageverification #socialmedia
