Louise Amoore@amoorelouise.bsky.social · 2w agoI could weep, seriously. Some of the places I love best are those second-hand book stores in the side streets of small towns. Where the stacks contain surprises that shape how one thinks about something. Now LLMs need “pre 2022” texts to avoid the “contamination” of synthetic data 1/

The very policies that are supposed to enhance EU #digitalsovereignty vis-a-vis US and China might be tearing it apart by deepening intra-EU digital divides. Critical debate on digital inequality is needed. Read my article in @jeppjournal.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
🔵 Our scholar @jeberle.bsky.social will be a visiting researcher at the @leibniz-ios.de. During his stay, he will be delivering a guest lecture on digital sovereignty in the CEE region. If you happen to be in the city, feel free to join! 📅 July 6, 16:00–17:30 📍 Landshuter str. 4
I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.
This July I will be a visiting fellow at @leibniz-ios.de in Regensburg. This lecture on #digitalsovereignty will be part of my programme. europeamerica.de/news-and-eve...

NEW OPINION PIECE OUT NOW Daniel Šitera and myself take a different look at the "deregulatory turn" in EU digital policy. Building on our academic research, we argue that the key enabling role of smaller EU states have been largely overlooked. #digitalsovereignty Link in first comment.

Is lack of a common definition of #digitalsovereignty the core of EU's issues with projects like Gaia-X, per @politico.eu? Not really. Let's not obsess about definitions and pay attention to power relations behind them (as argued in an article we published recently). www.politico.eu/article/anat...

My short commentary on the implication of the Czech election for Ukraine. In short: not a good result for Kyiv, but expect pragmatic, self-interested policies, rather than a pro-Russian turn. Babiš is a transactional politician, will do what serves him best. www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polyt...

Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law.
Kaja Kallas@kajakallas.bsky.social · last yr.The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with Gideon Sa'ar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges.
