Google tells the EU it won't add fact checks to search results or YouTube videos, nor use them for ranking or content removal, despite new EU regulations. #Google #EURegulations #FactChecking #TechNews #YouTube #DigitalPolicy #ContentModeration
The EU rejects Zuckerberg's claim that Europe’s laws are “institutionalizing censorship,” stating they only require the removal of illegal content.

Meta’s content moderation overhaul with Community Notes is a step forward, but Zuckerberg claiming it's about free speech? Not so much. The timing couldn’t be worse.

Meta's fact-checking overhaul is widening the divide between content moderation in the US and stricter regions like Europe. #Meta #ContentModeration #FactChecking #TechNews #USvsEurope #Regulations #SocialMedia #OnlineSafety #DigitalPolicy

Gerade bin ich wieder mal sehr froh, für meinen Account Bits & Bäume (@bits_und_baeume) als Host gefunden zu haben!
Ich habe nämlich (durch einen Boost von @mamsell, danke dafür!) die Aufzeichnung des Bits-und-Bäume-Herbstabends im Oktober gefunden (Thema: »Wem gehört das Internet?«) und schau mir das gerade an. Allein schon das Gespräch zwischen Rike, Anja und @francescabria ist sehr, sehr sehenswert. Tausend Dank dafür 
Unten der Link zur Aufzeichnung der Veranstaltung, neu verlinkt über den Proxy Invidious, um Googles und YouTubes Data-Grabbing zu verhindern.
I am once more very glad to have found Bits&Bäume as my Mastodon host. Just now, I’m watching a video of their fall conference which is quite enlightening. It’s bilingual, you’ll understand most of it.
