Das Digital Services Act (DSA) der EU (wie Meta, Google) enthüllt, wie sie Benutzer verfolgen, mäßig Inhalte verfolgen und Desinformationen verarbeiten. Die meisten dieser Unternehmen hassen das Gesetz und setzen sich in Brüssel dagegen ein – außer Twitter (jetzt x), sie versuchen es zumindest, ihm für EU -Benutzer zu folgen.
In der Zwischenzeit könnte die US -Politik große Technologie dazu bringen, diesen Regeln aggressiver zu widerstehen, zumal sie einen starken Einfluss auf die derzeitige US -Regierung haben.
KI wird die nächste große Tech -Kluft sein: Die USA werden wahrscheinlich nur wenig Regulierung haben, während die EU einen viel stärkeren Ansatz zur Regulierung verfolgen wird. Wachsende Spannungen – über Handel, militärische Bedrohungen und Technologiepolitik – treiben die USA und die EU auseinander, und diese Trennung wird noch mindestens vier Jahre fortgesetzt.

The EU's proposed billion dollar fine for Twitter/X disinformation, is just the start of European & American tech diverging into separate spheres.

AI regulation means fuck all when it’s open-source and can be ran locally. Also fuck Twitter, that sounds like a win for me. The real question is how does this affect decentralized social media like Mastodon or Bluesky that are inherently resistant to this?
You could name any amount, and it still wouldn’t be enough.

I don’t understand what is „disinformation“ and how it is different from „censorship“…
Who determines what misinformation is? Can we sue and fine the EU for all that bullshit during covid?
The post WW2 global order is dying rapidly. Europe and the US no longer have shared interests or values (this kind of shift happens every 80 years or so). Something new is being born.
Let’s hope its not a painful birth.
I’m not at all an expert on this topic. This is simply my view as a user who’s been through the whole evolution.
IMO What we already are seeing is a positive change in single social platforms losing their monopoly.
It has been argued that why we ended up in this situation in the first place stems from the internet being first established.
General open protocols for how computers can communicate over a shared network allowed a decentralised and in essence free internet. The example here is the TCP/IP standard that is a simple set of rules for how to bring order and allow computers to communicate freely.
The oversight was that there was not a similar free and general protocol provided for individuals to find share and connect. The need for one was simply not anticipated in a time when computers couldn’t be moved and people didn’t have social lives online.
Then when people did want to start socialising it was simply not practical to find each other using IP addresses. A need for a shared „announcement platform and standardization of the basic information needed to be shared“ i.e. name, pictures etc.
What happened was that this was not born, or not successfully rolled out from an open source community which wouldve shared the algorhitms and set of rules freely and openly – instead this became a commercialized-service provided by the likes of Facebook. They provided it „for free“ knowing they could use and sell the information of the social interactions. This in essence created the monsters of harvesting peoples information that we see today.
But the system has already broken. the big monopolies are dying. Twitter , Facebook are challanged by other actors. Still a problem is that those actors have the same flawed business models.
Now the split and battle over regulations, taxation and responsibilities actually opens up for a new wave of standards in essence where the platform simply is the interface, but where the standards are shared. I.e. it won’t matter what platform you use for the interface you can connect to anyone.
It’s really been inevitable. Here it’s important to remember that monopolies always gets lazy from their positions, eventually they simply can’t maintain the service in any functional way. People get tired and if there are alternatives, they will win out.
IMO, the future like everything digital and it’s ability to be cheaply scaled and kept simple – lies in non-profit service providers.
Let’s hope this new round of social media actually breaks free from the commercial interests (besides perhaps untargeted advertisement?).
Diaspora is the first example I can think of and it’s actually been around for quite some time.

Edit: it always makes me smile how non-profits always and inherently eventually always will outcompete any for-profit buissness model.
Not siphoning money out of the organization (as much as possible) will always mean it will offer a superior product. FU capital.
