‘Niemand ontkomt aan de verslavende algoritmes van big tech’ @kimvsparrentak@eupolicy.social in podcast van @FTM_nl@social.ftm.nl: “Onlangs kondigde Ursula von der Leyen aan dat sociale media voor kinderen onder zestien jaar verboden wordt. In het voorjaar komen bovendien regels om de verslavende werking van sociale media in te perken. Te gast in de studio Kim van Sparrentak, Europarlementariër namens PRO. Zij zet zich al jaren in om de macht van het algoritme in te perken.” https://follow-the-money.simplecast.com/episodes/niemand-ontkomt-aan-de-verslavende-algoritmes-van-big-tech-s_hGN1i4 #BigTech #VerslavendOntwerp #EU #SocialMedia

How Big Tech evades responsibility for child sex trafficking on social media

Predators use social media platforms to groom and traffic children, while US courts use Section 230 to protect tech companies from liability.

I’ve just brought back an old project I created in memory of Aaron Swartz: his Open Access Manifesto, available in 25 languages thanks to contributions from people around the world. https://openaccess.eza.link Feel free to send corrections or contribute missing languages. I wish Aaron were still here to stand with us through the challenges ahead. Maybe it’s time for a new manifesto, this time with a message for the Big Tech gurus. #AaronSwartz #OpenAccess #BigTech

»Unit 8200 is also one of the most prestigious pipelines into high-tech, allowing the expertise acquired inside the mass targeting apparatus to be later converted into professional capital. The obscenity is not that the soldiers sound sadistic — it is how often they sound simply competent. That is where Hannah Arendt’s account of bureaucratic “thoughtlessness” becomes useful — not as a cheap historical analogy, but as a description of how responsibility can be fragmented.«

Big Tech is building its AI empire by consuming water, straining energy systems and taking over land, while billionaires pocket the profits and communities pay the price. But people everywhere are resisting. Our future is not theirs to exploit. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/sep/27/people-are-standing-up-and-fighting-back-north-devon-ai-datacentre #timetoresist #bigtech #tech #AI #datacenters

In a bid to find fellow comrades at the local level, I will tomorrow be putting up a flyer looking like this, in targeted local buildings (the library, etc).

I would like some feedback. If you saw this would you:

  • Be interested in learning more?
  • Worry about this persons mental state*
  • Both!!!

*this might be a bad joke... sorry if anyone is offended.

On a more serious note - I am genuinely trying to find people locally who are interested in tackling Big Tech in a meaningful way, starting locally.

The flyer basically says:

  • are you fed up of Big Tech, tech bros and billionaires?
  • Put your energy to good use and help join the fight
  • An active online movement looking to talk solutions locally
  • Looking for people to help with outreach, organisation etc.

What do you think? Any changes?

Especialmente sobre la palabras etc porque soy ingles entonces.........🥲

Hyves is Europees. Yeah, right. 🙄 "Nog voordat je actief lid bent geworden van Hyves worden je persoonsgegevens al door ten minste drie Amerikaanse bedrijven verwerkt." En dan nog die wagonladingen aan jouw persoonlijke gegevens die ze met de duvel en zijn ouwe moer delen.

Hyves draait wél op Amerikaanse tech, in tegenstelling tot wat eigenaar De Telegraaf beweert

Deze week kondigde De Telegraaf aan Hyves nieuw leven in te blazen. Volgens de hoofdredacteur draait de socialenetwerksite ‘voor de veiligheid, voor de zekerheid’ op Europese software. Maar dat klopt niet.

Ireland = Big Tech’s bitch EU = ? “AI: EU Member States plan ‘digital expropriation’ of Europeans in the interest of AI companies In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection. Use of personal data ‘in the context of AI’ should automatically be lawful. There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States.
