Nach seinem triumphalen Wahlsieg leiten US-Präsident Donald Trump und X-Chef Elon Musk nun die nächste Entmachtung ein. Durch X sollen die sogenannten „Mainstreammedien“ abgelöst werden.

@EU_Commission launched recently a public consultation on the draft delegated act on access to online platform data for vetted researchers under the #DigitalServicesAct (#DSA). I'm attaching highlights and comments of @Lorenz_Spreen, which include a few of my own replies.👇

Ich kann allen nur empfehlen, zu Bluesky zu wechseln & zB dort aktiver als hier auf X zu diskutieren: U.a. weil der Ton auf Twitter seit der Übernahme durch konstant aggressiver wurde & weil seit der US-Wahl erneut Dämme gebrochen sind, welche Aggression hier ausgedrückt wird
