On Monday (18:30-20), I'll be talking to James Williams, Michelle Sjursen, Maja van der Velden, and @finnmyrstad.bsky.social on "Power and Distraction" - the issue of how to manage attentional power in online spaces. If you can't come to Oslo, you can follow a stream here: www.uio.no/english/rese...

Power and distraction - University of Oslo
Who shapes our attention? How does it affect both personal agency and democracy? Leading scholars and practitioners discuss technology, power, and how we can regain control over our attentional lives.

Vi klager inn Schibsteds samtykkeløsning for "Pay or OK" til Forbrukertilsynet. Vi mener Schibsted gjør det ulovlig vanskelig å si opp og benytter manipulerende design for å påvirke brukernes valg. Etter vår mening er dette også en ulovlig endring av eksisterende abonnementsavtaler.

Schibsted innfører nå dessverre en ny modell for å skaffe "samtykke" til å kunne dele personopplysninger med markedsføringsselskap (kjent som adtech). Dersom alle det, så vil kostnadene for personvern og privatliv på nett bli tusenvis av kroner i måneden. 😨 1/ www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/schi...
