✍️ Sign and share: Solidarität mit Verteidiger:innen der Meinungsfreiheit in Indonesien

Seit Ende August werden in Indonesien landesweite Proteste brutal niedergeschlagen: mind. 10 Tote, viele junge Aktivist*innen inhaftiert unter dem restriktiven Internet-Governance-Gesetz (ITE-Gesetz). Plattformen wie TikTok & Meta verstärken mit der Sperrung von Nutzerkonten und überzogener content moderation die staatliche Unterdrückung kritischer Stimmen.
Der Solidaritätsaufruf von Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet) und weiteren Organisationen fordert die sofortige Freilassung der Inhaftierten, ein Ende digitaler Repression, die Verantwortung von TikTok & Meta für Meinungsfreiheit sowie enges Monitoring durch die UN.

Neustsart auf Mastodon! 🚀🐘

Drei Tage lang haben wir jetzt über die Gefahren diskutiert, die Desinformation, Hassrede und die profitmaximierenden Algorithmen der großen Social-Media-Plattformen für die Demokratie und unseren gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt bergen.

Mein guter Vorsatz war: Ich verlasse die #republica25 nicht, ohne endlich auch dem #Fediverse beizutreten. Jetzt ist es soweit. ✊

Nochmal vielen Dank an @gupflu
vom Team von @digitalcourage der mir geholfen hat, hier an denStart zu gehen! Jetzt bin ich gespannt was passiert 💬🌱

Something that didn't let me sleep at night was very well described by Ted Chiang:

"Anything that’s good for content mills is not good for people searching for information. The more that text generated by large language models gets published on the Web, the more the Web becomes a blurrier version of itself."

Good read.
