RE: https://flipboard.com/@handelsblatt/politik-iajs3qorz/-/a-nyRWBcdmT5u69zmvcMCzDA%3Aa%3A2728930953-%2F0 If the game is rigged. How can you expect to win? I feel a sense of urgency for mainstream politicians and media to wake up and start the move away from only using the algorithmically manipulated billionaire socials, before the coming onslaught with large sums in support of "the resistance". It's a well established fact in several studies, that these algorithms favour far right content and nurtures conflict, not democratic discourse. #DefendDemocracy

The @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu, @bundestag@social.bund.de and @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de have been commendable in laying the first foundations 💪🤩🙌 for this shift by their active participation in the Fediverse. 🤘 🇪🇺 But what about our leading politicians? What about various parliaments and goverments around Europe? Like my own in Sweden. #DefendDemocracy

I wonder which propaganda campaign had more impact: The Russian or the American MAGA propaganda. Though perhaps they are one and the same 🤔 #DefendDemocracy #HandsOffOurEU🇪🇺 #StrongerTogether

"Over the course of the ten-hour flight to Lima, Elliot patiently explains to Mark all the ways that Facebook basically handed the election to Donald Trump. It's pretty fucking convincing and pretty fucking concerning." 1/3 #carlessPeople #bookstodon #DefendDemocracy

Great write-up of our #DemocracyDrinks exchange with political scientist @casmudde@bird.makeup "Defeating the far-right is not enough. Unless the mainstream democratic parties not only deliver but also start to inspire." #DefendDemocracy

Understanding of our history is the bedrock of PRESERVING our independence--and not falling for the NEXT con man, from ANY point on the political spectrum. #DefendDemocracy

The European Union 🇪🇺 wants to scan your private messages and photos! 🤳 @chatcontrol@mastodon.social is an initiative created to raise awareness about the EU's proposed "Chat Control" regulation. If we do nothing, we will end up with a surveillance state. You can help by writing an email to EU decision makers directly, like we did.

BREAKING: TikTok's addictive design breaches EU law. (Features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, highly personalised recommender system.) The EU is finally drawing a line: TikTok has to turn off their addictive tricks. We should be in control of our own time & attention, not Big Tech, be it 🇨🇳🇺🇸🇪🇺 #DefendDemocracy #HandsOffOurEU🇪🇺 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312 Kudos to MEPs @kimvsparrentak@eupolicy.social and @alexandrageese@bonn.social for their fight.

Trump reposts social media AI generated image of himself in goldern armour, sitting on a goldern throne under an eagle (in stylised Nazi style), with three people in suits kneeling at his feet. The caption is "None shall escape his justice".
