Wat gebeurt er als een van de politiek machtigste mannen ter wereld de controle krijgt over een van de meest invloedrijke technologieën op aarde, vraagt AlgoSoc scientific director @natalihelberger.bsky.social zich af in de brief, die op 13 februari verscheen in het NRC. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Veel universiteiten zijn afhankelijk van grote Amerikaanse ict-bedrijven. AlgoSoc start in februari een proef met NextCloud op 5 NL-universiteiten om meer controle over data en #autonomie terug te krijgen. algosoc.org/results/hoe-... #opencloud #digitalisering #privacy #alternatievecloud

Amerikaanse #socialmediaplatforms schaften #moderatie en #factchecken af onder het mom van vrijheid van #meningsuiting. Maar meningen worden juist steeds meer gemanipuleerd. De invloed van #bigtech reikt naar Europa, waar we afhankelijk zijn van hun #cloudinfrastructuren. algosoc.org/results/grot...
