I've finally deleted all my meta-accounts 🙀 🔸My unused Facebook account 🔸My Instagram account 🔸And my WhatsApp account. It feels quite a relief, although it was hard to let go of Instagram. It was a step by step process, realigning my values and my actions.

In case you missed our Salon on this misguided proposal from France, read @cmfrancoise.bsky.social's summary on our blog or watch the recording at the link below:

What are the next steps? #PubConf2025 Two pillars 🎯 1️⃣ Regulate the problem 2️⃣ Build something new! That's what we need. We need stronger regulations of Big Tech. And the Draghi report is a push to deregulate the EU under the excuse of innovation.

Today, it's the PublicSpaces Conference! Geert-Jan Bogaerts, chair of PublicSpaces starts the day, and underlines the difference between the question of autonomy from the US and the public values that we want to have in the digital ecosystem! #PubConf2025

I cannot agree more - Cybersecurity in cultural Heritage Data is essential. But what about open access? As institutions, we hold the doors of information and data, with their integrity, for the public good, and for people to make decisions based on evidence. #Europeana2025 #ReuseDigitalHeritage

Zygmunt Stepinski, director of the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews, underlines the importance of cybersecurity in the cultural heritage fields, especially as attacks increased significantly, especially regarding minorities, whether religious, gender, sexual, etc. #europeana2025

The 🤖💭🐬 case referred to the CJEU focuses not on AI model training issues, but rather on questions arising from their use. Read @paulk.bsky.social's analysis of the first EU court case addressing AI and copyright: copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2025/05/28/d...

Institutions and community members, we care about information integrity & about the potential impacts of the uses made with these data. #Europeana2025 #ReuseDigitalHeritage

The Europeana Conference starts in Warsaw! ✨ The topic is 'Preserve, Protect, Reuse' Preservation is nice, but it is irrelevant if you cannot protect the information you hold as an institution. #Europeana2025 #ReuseDigitalHeritage

Bachar al-Assad est tombé il y a six mois, le 8 décembre 2024. La question des archives du régime n’a pas tardé à surgir. Car à chaque chute de dictature, des documents et des secrets se retrouvent dans la nature, comme libérés. 📧 La lettre enquête de Mediapart 👉‍ https://l.mediapart.fr/kK0

Amsterdam University Press is sending out letters today notifying series editors and authors that they have been taken over – or shall we say: annexed? – by Taylor & Francis. Not a good day. The evil empire of academic publishing is growing.

Est-ce que vous connaissez l'Acte sur la Connaissance Numérique pour l'Europe ? C'est un document réalisé par @communia.bsky.social visant à obtenir un cadre légal adapté aux missions de service public pour les Institutions des Savoirs, à l'ère numérique. communia-association.org/wp-content/u...

Got my GDPR assignment on Health Data & the various scopes with the Lindqvist case, Lindenapotheke, etc, in the context of platforms. Hesitant to say that my Pharmacy keeps sending me the details of my prescription per email - when I ask for a renewal.

Navigating the internet this morning in order to find visuals (one of my favorite activities). Looking at the INRAE collections database, Agate, and found this wonderful cyclist bee - and sharing is caring! C. Arnould made a calendar for bee-keepers in 1908! agate.inrae.fr/agate/fr/con...

For 121 years, women on Gaelic Camogie teams have been required to wear a skort during official play, under rules written in British-occupied Ireland. That changed on Thursday.

I am totally astonished by Nathalie Smuha, from KU Leuven Faculty of Law, as she shares how algorithmic regulation in the public sector erodes the rule of law, based on the book she published. #CPDP

Yeah ✨ That's the CPDP's opening night! 🎉 #TheWorldIsWatching And the main keynote is currently facing a power outage, due to wild fires in Greece🔥 #ClimateChange, already a big topic in the discussion. #CPDP

“This vote affirms that the State of Connecticut is no longer willing to be handcuffed by Big Publishing’s unfair pricing for digital content." --Ellen Paul, ED of the Connecticut Library Consortium WE LOVE TO SEE IT.

I’m going to forgive John the clickbait headline b/c he almost certainly didn’t choose it. Simple answer - DUH. Yes, it’s ethical, it’s also THE LAW - little thing called ‘first sale doctrine’, and trust me when I say we DO NOT want to lose that and allow manufacturers to control products forever

Me, being confronted with my own mistake of saying to my thesis supervisor that I will send a more elaborate thesis proposal by the end of the week. We are Friday night and I'm on my way to see Hania Rani in the Salle Pleyel in Paris.

Something has changed today. A 74 years old Family-member contacted me on Signal, out of the blue. This is so nice, totally made my day.

J'ai donc acheté deux nouveaux livres. Les deux font peur pour différentes raisons.

Ce matin 19 mars 2025, la Commission Culture de l'Assemblée Nationale reçoit les organisations de gestion collective pour parler du droit d'auteur et de l'IA. Une vision unique et partiale du droit d'auteur. Une petite lecture de ce thread, s'impose.

Ce matin, table ronde sur le thème « droits d’auteur et intelligence artificielle » (qui débute now) videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/direct.16424... Une conf sans Wikimédia, sans Creative Commons, etc. cf : www.linforme.com/medias-cultu... à lire dans @linforme.com

Following my course on Platform Regulations & Competition Law, and just discovered to Professor Pitofsky's warning made in 1979, thank to my lecturer Andrea Piletta Massaro. This has been written 55 years ago, it captures where we are now.
