Talk über die Frage, warum Alternativen zu Big Tech trotz „richtiger“ Werte oft scheitern. Die Antwort liegt oft im Produkt selbst.

Bessere Online-Plattformen entstehen nicht durch moralische Überlegenheit allein, sondern durch gute Nutzererfahrung, starke Communities und pragmatische Strategien.

“Democratizing AI” should mean more than giving people access to AI tools.

A key point from the talk “How to Fight the Broligarchy by Democratizing AI?” at #rp26:
AI is increasingly controlled by a small group of powerful companies, while the societal risks are shared by everyone.

Real democratization means citizens and workers should become co-authors of the systems shaping society, claims Annette Zimmerman.

The Code Beneath the Floorboards is our new series on the digital systems shaping schools, work, public services, democracy, and daily life.

Are synthetic outrage and viral certainty the same as truth?

A post feels true because it is everywhere. A claim feels settled because everyone is reacting.

This piece is about that fragile space between attention and conscience, and what happens when we mistake the noise of the crowd for moral clarity.

Open tools are not just technical choices. They are democratic ones.

This is the principle behind the digital commons: that the systems shaping our learning, civic life, data, and participation should not be locked away from the people who depend on them.

We started with youth participation.

Then the question changed: participate in what kind of public space?

One where citizens can deliberate and influence decisions, or one where attention is manipulated, outrage is amplified, and trust is quietly dismantled?

"Maximal transparency is almost certainly not ethically desirable."

Desirable 'for whom'?

For platforms facing regulatory scrutiny, opacity is a feature. For users discriminated against by biased recommendation engines, transparency is survival. For communities targeted by algorithmic manipulation, openness is a civil liberty.

This paper usefully breaks transparency into dimensions and degrees—providing the "choice points" for an ethics of algorithmic openness. But let us be clear: the stakeholders who need transparency most are rarely the ones invited to design these systems.

Our job as advocates for privacy, free software, and civil liberties is not to settle for the "ethically optimal" comfort zone of the powerful. It is to push the needle toward the maximum and let the burden of justification fall on those who demand secrecy.

Let us use it to demand more.

The right to gather doesn’t fail only when it is removed.

It also fails when the conditions that make gathering possible - shared awareness, visibility, overlap - are no longer reliably there.

A right can exist in law and still lose its force in practice.
