🤔 The #EU 🇪🇺 aspires to be a global actor 🌍 — but do other states recognize it as such?

My new study in @intlinteractions.bsky.social develops targeted #NLP / #TextAsData tools to analyze 50 years of foreign policy discourse in the annual #UN General Debate (1970–2020).

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Besser kann man es nicht sagen:
Staatliche Institutionen in Deutschland haben nichts auf X verloren.

Bitte zeichnet die Petition von @campact.de:

https://weact.campact.de/petitions/keine-macht-fur-oligarchen-bundesregierung-endlich-runter-von-x

Staatliche Kommunikation ist keine gewöhnliche Werbung, sondern Teil der demokratischen Grundversorgung. Wenn Regierung und Behörden sich an Plattformen binden, die Hass, Desinformation und intransparente Algorithmen dulden oder fördern, stärken sie Strukturen, die demokratische Öffentlichkeit beschädigen.

Ein Ausstieg aus X ist das notwendige Signal, dass demokratische Werte und Grundrechte Vorrang vor kurzfristiger, vermeintlicher Reichweite haben.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.

Hochaktuell sind die neuen WZB-Mitteilungen zum Thema Weltordnung, denn die Regeln, nach denen das globale Zusammenleben über Jahrzehnte funktionierte, gelten nicht mehr. Ein Heft über Krieg & Frieden, über Demokratie, Profit & Wissenschaft, über China, Amerika und die EU.

Das Bild zeigt das Cover der Zeitschrift „WZB Mitteilungen – Quartalsheft für Sozialforschung“. Der Hintergrund ist ein klarer blauer Himmel. Rechts oben schwebt ein großer Luftballon in Form eines Baby-Darstellung einer bekannten politischen Figur mit orangefarbener Haut und gelben Haaren, der einen wütenden Gesichtsausdruck zeigt. Unten links befindet sich ein weißes Textfeld mit den Ausgabeninformationen: Ausgabe 3|25, September 2025, sowie die Webseite „wzb.eu“ in grün. Darunter steht der Titel des Hefts „Weltordnung“ und die Unterthemen „Regeln“, „Krieg“ und „China“.
