This is a very good paper and you should all read it. However, to this part, I want to reply with Arthur Spirling: "Open generative AI models are a way forward for science" (doi.org/10.1038/d415...). Seriously, please don't default to sending students and other researchers to closed models.

🌿Mid-term conference in #Tartu this month - We discussed ways to strengthen interdisciplinary research on #ClimateEmotions, innovative methodologies and staged an interactive #deliberative #democratic assembly on #ClimatePolitics led by @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social @futuresstudiouu.bsky.social

Great to see this out! With @bsky.charispapaevangelou.eu we analyse the DSA “Statement of Reasons” database, the EU-mandated archive of moderation decisions by online platforms. We examine what kind of platform observability the database affords & find large regional and cross-platform differences.
