And Bremen is a wonderful city for students! A city with a lot to offer in terms of culture and night-life, and at the same situated in the middle of wonderful nature (river to swim, row and sail in the middle of city; marshes right outside of town; North Sea) www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCqW... [5/x]

💸 There are no tuition fees. Keep that for your own spendings. We are a renowned German public university and this is public education. The admin fee of 400€/semester includes flatrate for public transport (up to Hamburg, North Sea) [4/x] zemki.uni-bremen.de/en/studies/m...

Der @tagesspiegel.de hat Sätze von mir zu Meta/Zuckerberg in seiner Rubrik "3*1 – drei Expertinnen und Experten äußern sich zu einem Thema" veröffentlicht. "Wir brauchen Plattformen, die Verantwortung übernehmen." Morgen in der Printausgabe, heute online (Paywall)

That's what makes this announcement so stark.
During the first Trump term, Facebook introduced the fact-checking program (from December 2016: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...)
During the second Trump term, Facebook closed the program down (gift link: www.wsj.com/tech/meta-en...)

(Wir tracken die Policies von Plattformen im Rahmen unseres Platform Governance Archive (PGA) @pgmt.bsky.social. Hier lassen sich aktuelle aber auch historische Veränderungen der Regeln zu Hate Speech, Misinformation, … seit 2005 nachvollziehen und recherchieren. www.platformgovernancearchive.org)

ZUSATZ: Wir sehen bereits erste Änderungen in unserem Tracker: Meta wechselt von "hate speech" zu "hateful conduct"; die Regeln deutlich gelockert. Seit gestern kann man auf FB/Insta wieder Menschen und Gruppen von Menschen als Dreck, Kot oder ähnliches bezeichnen 🤯 github.com/OpenTermsArc...

Jeder Sieg dieser neuen US-Allianz bedeutet einen Rückschritt für demokratische Gesellschaften. Wir brauchen Plattformen, die Verantwortung übernehmen. Sie sind bereits viel zu tief integriert, um sie der Willkür und den ökonomischen und politischen Interessen einzelner US-Männer zu überlassen[9/9]

Dramatisch auch: Zuckerberg beschreibt die entstehende Plattform-Regulierung der EU als die „Institutionalisierung von Zensur“ und nennt sie in einem Atemzug mit China. Es wird also nicht bei den Konflikten Musk/EU-Kommission bleiben, sondern eine deutlich breitere 🇪🇺-🇺🇸 Konfrontation geben [7/…]
