Una prestigiosa revista iberoamericana de mi ámbito (Q2 en #Scopus) con la que he colaborado de evaluador, ha tenido a bien felicitarnos la #Navidad con el deseo de "que Dios ilumine sus caminos el 2026" 💌 Todo un acto de (necesaria) valentía

The EU has published a world-first risk landscape report under the #DSA.

It flags systemic risks on big platforms — from illegal content to generative AI— and tracks how platforms are addressing them.

More transparency. More accountability.
A safer online space for all.

@upvehu.bsky.social'en aldaketa hau ez da onerako; egia da orain arteko siglak @upv.es'ekin nahas gaitzakeela, baina #EHU soilik Bielorrusiako "European Humanities University" ere bada! UPV/EHU mantentzea, gaitzerdi — bestela, EHU/UPV

No hay una definición cerrada de qué son los #discursosdeodio. Las Naciones Unidas se centran en ataques a grupos y personas por sus características inherentes — género, etnia, aspecto físico, etc.

Gaurko #itzaladiak unibertsitateko jardueran eragina izan du zenbait ikastegietan. Hori dela eta, ikasleei jakinarazten zaie eten horrek ez duela inolako ondorio akademikorik izango. Halaber, EHUko komunitateari eskerrak eman nahi dizkiogu egoera horren aurrean egindako ahaleginarengatik.

Enamorado de este póster de
@losdelvolcan.bsky.social sobre prevención de las #deepfakes. Tanto más del adjetivo "fiables" cuando se habla de organismos oficiales — no, no todos son siempre de fiar 😉
