This was a great roundtable, lots of important questions from the audience, giving the impression that data donations will be around for longer, if we get it right (based on comments from the audience on postcards) #aoir2025

We had a fabulous roundtable discussion with @anjabechmann.bsky.social @dscheykopp.bsky.social @tgrootkormelink.bsky.social @jiarut.bsky.social here at #aoir2025 that concluded with a thought exercise: "It's 2030 & data donation is the dominant data gathering paradigm, what must we get right today?"

If you're at #ica25 consider a date with the hottest new method in town… Data Donation in Communication Research: Ethical, Practical, and Methodological Frontiers 📍 Friday, June 13 | 12 PM – 1:15 PM | Capitol 3 - Regency 4 @anjabechmann.bsky.social @tgrootkormelink.bsky.social @lionw.bsky.social

Very impressive work presented by @anjabechmann.bsky.social - her team managed to get really impressive sample sizes and quite okay-ish dropout rates with #datadination, much better than previous work (also ours). #ica25

First up is @anjabechmann.bsky.social sharing insight in the project of 1000 Danish YouTube data donations, including issues on over time dropout

Spændende med en tværfaglig minister-snak om KI med de gode (digitale?) tvillinger fra NAT & TECH i @au.dk’s stærke IT-miljø på Katrinebjerg. AU skal være et af de helt naturlige KI-fyrtårne herhjemme. Det kræver tværfaglighed🦾 @anjabechmann.bsky.social @olesejer.bsky.social @majahorst.bsky.social

The threats to media freedom in the US are unprecedented The administration sues media companies, intimidates journalists and news organisations, denies journalists WH access, encourages less facts, journalism, and safety on social media platforms. Undermining free press is an attack on democracy.

Putting the Code of Practice on Disinformation into the Digital Services Act *can* be a game changer vis-a-vis #disinformation It needs compliance, monitoring.It puts 🇪🇺 on further 🇺🇸 conflict course Piece by @ramshajahangir.bsky.social w state of play, quotes 🙋 www.techpolicy.press/the-eus-code...

Our @techpolicypress.bsky.social article is based on our recent paper examining Community Notes through the lens of humour. We find that CN enacts a narrow conception of disinformation that is ill-equipped to address hate and harm. eprints.qut.edu.au/254907/1/Mat...

Meta drops content moderation which users want! ⛔ New data show that users (n=2000 Danes) both disagree with some of the announced changes (like referring to religious groups as stupid) *and* dislike some policies being kept. We need voices from users on this. And especially from non-US users.
