Happy to see this paper on welfare privatization in SE and DK in print. Q: Do people align notions of social justice with privatized welfare over time? A: They stick to existing notions and work to avoid being overwhelmed with resentment, even with own use of privatized welfare. shorturl.at/xZAXn

BBC just released damning research on AI assistants' news accuracy.

Results: 51% of AI responses had significant issues. 19% introduced errors when citing BBC. 13% misquoted or made up BBC content entirely. 🤐🤐

American social media companies write the algorithms that determine what voters read; moderation systems are opaque; political advertising cannot always be tracked. Do European democracies, or any democracies, really have sovereign elections anymore?

The elections in Greenland are April 6. The attention to and foreign interest in these elections will be unprecedented.

Will platforms take responsibility, act against fake accounts (like fake 🇬🇱 PM below) and ensure integrity in the info ecosystem?

Recent developments cast serious doubts on this.
