Honor to open the @algosoc.org int'l conference on the Future of Public Values.

Foregrounding public values in society, with the changing tech, politics, and power relationships is key.

As the AI Act is open for negotiations again, let's remember that AI is a *societal* challenge #AlgoSoc2025

As EU-US relations change Europe must stand firm for the DSA

The DSA is imperfect, it cannot fix everything. But the DSA is a shield to defend European democracy.

Dutch universities rely on #BigTech for core processes, but at what cost? As the US shifts towards an anti-science climate, the risks of dependence on #Microsoft, #Google & #Amazon grow. It's time to build alternatives and reclaim digital sovereignty.
