  6. Digital autonomy ?

    "Australia’s digital policy shouldn’t be dictated by large platforms or external geopolitical actors."

    "The “digital sovereignty” movement in the European Union (EU) can show us the way. European countries are gradually breaking up with American tech giants and pushing for local AI development, all in the name of achieving digital autonomy."

    "The ultimate goal here is digital autonomy. It means reducing reliance on systems vulnerable to growing geopolitical and economic risks. If you make your own devices and host your data locally, you’re not at the mercy of multinational corporations whose interests may not align with your own."

    "Decentralised social media ecosystems allow independently operated communities to communicate across shared protocols without being controlled by a single corporation. One such example is the Fediverse, which includes platforms like micro-blogging site Mastodon and video sharing site PeerTube." >>

    But in Bellingen, NSW they are clinging to foreign owned platforms. Here communication communicates via facebook or its is not. (Could be a Niklas Luhmann quote)

  19. What makes this especially serious is that the campaign has been marked by harsh rhetoric, disinformation, and disputes over outside influence. That is precisely why this vote is also a test of the resilience of democratic public life.

    The #Philosopher Jürgen #Habermas is dead. His work on the #publicsphere is essential to understand why not only #TV and #Radio, but also #socialnetworks and #AI #Chatbots need to be regulated so as to ensure that they serve -and not undermine- #democracy and #fundamentalrights.

    Now it's time to read:

    The Philosopher: Habermas and Us by Philipp Felsch, 208 p.,

    Things Needed to Get Better: Conversations with Stefan Müller-Doohm and Roman Yos by Jürgen Habermas, 196 p.

  27. The philosophical giant Jürgen Habermas has left us.

    Habermas spent decades championing the "theory of communicative action" - the idea that democracy only functions when we actually listen to one another. Without his guiding voice, we face a chilling reality: a world where the loudest lies often drown out the most reasoned truths.
