Imagine how powerful it would be if von der Leyen, Costa and Kallas made their statements first on a EUROPEAN open, free, non-algorithmically distorted social media network. ️

And then later with a 60 minute delay on the account-registration-requiring, data-collecting, algorithmically-distorted US networks?

@leanderlindahl @MarkusKallifatides I have been trying to pitch that idea to Socialdemokraterna here in Stockholm as well.

@leanderlindahl @carl @bike4climate @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @HennaVirkkunen No time for that. We need to burn moar moneys on our own European sovereign AI bullsh*t because we are way behind US in burning their moneys: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@HennaVirkkunen/115899705825865675

@rhj @MarkusKallifatides that's great to hear. We just have to keep on making the argument for this, until we win. The marketing people who have the say in these matters, still get to serve their imagined audience this way, so they can't use that old tired argument of why we shouldn't do the right thing for our societies and democracies.

If you're in a position of leadership this is a perfect opportunity to lead and show the way. Our representatives aren't put there to follow the herd passively

I have always been thinking that we need a UN backed, controlled , and funded social network. If the UN can't do it, then maybe the EU can. I don't see how this couldn't be a public service.
