Ireland started a Pause Before You Post Awareness Campaign: sharing photos and videos of children online can lead to unintended oversharing of personal data, which, in the wrong hands, can have serious consequences. Wise initiative!
In January 2023, @pluralistic used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.
Enshittification consists of four stages:
1. Platforms are good for users
2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers
3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit

I don't really keep up with Twitter/X news much these days, but this was kind of funny.

Das war damals nicht absehbar, als sie am 4.5.2021 mit dem Posten auf #Mastodon begann. Nach der @unijena, @UniUlm und @unihohenheim war sie die 4. #Hochschule in Deutschland, die einen Fuss ins #Fediverse setzte. Sicher gab es damals die Zweifler und Bescheidwisser. „Bringt doch nichts, diese Spinnerei. Alles Pillepalle.“ Doch die Digitalpioniere setzten sich durch und das Tröten begann.
Das Beispiel zeigt: es braucht mutige Entscheidungen in Unis, Ämtern und Behörden.
Ob es die überall gibt, wo es sie braucht? Wenn Du denkst, das sei nicht der Fall, dann versuche doch vor Ort mitzuwirken, dass sich #gemeinwohlorientierte Tools durchsetzen.
Wie kann Europa in der digitalen Technologie unabhängiger von den US-Konzernen werden? Darüber haben Kanzler Merz, Frankreichs Präsident Macron und Minister aus anderen EU-Staaten beim Digitalgipfel beraten.
Who is interested in seeing the young chefs👩🍳🧑🍳🤭? Despite everything, they still create and smile, and that's what motivates me to continue. I prepared their favourite meal, pizza, with their help, of course 🍕 We had a wonderful time together 🫂🥹💕💕💕
