"Teknologisk udvikling er ikke deterministisk og heller ikke neutral," skriver @AgMagnus i denne kronik.
Fremtiden digitale infrastuktur skal have offentlighedens interesse som det centrale pejlemærke. ✊

"There are chilling similarities between the attacks on Ayyub and those that preceded the murders with impunity of her friend Gauri Lankesh in India and the Maltese investigative journalist #DaphneCaruanaGalizia in 2017."

Online violence often morphs into physical violence.

[Media Defence @mediadefence]

Indian journalist @RanaAyyub faces online violence and harassment, including rape and death threats, on a daily basis.

Yet @Twitter, like all social media platforms, has obligations under the UN's Ruggie principles to protect human rights.

"The #DSA dismantles the narrative of #tech inevitability & invincibility. Everyone can see now that the story of the past two decades was always one about power not technological determinism."

Friends, new piece in FT to share.
The EU's Digital Service Act is not just more words. It's the first signal in 20 years that the principles of a self-governing democracy might actually survive the digital century.
