We preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act for its addictive design. Our investigation suggests that the platform did not properly consider how these addictive features could harm the physical and mental wellbeing of its users, including children and vulnerable adults. ↓

'10 Regeln für die Digitale Welt' sind nun "in der Welt"! 😊 Ich durfte sie in einer spannenden Gruppe mitdefinieren, u.a. mit @jurgenpfeffer.bsky.social und @paulnemitz.bsky.social. Hier eine der vielen News dazu: news.vm.uni-freiburg.de/de/newsarchi... Kommentare sind sehr willkommen! 1/2
„10 Regeln für die Digitale Welt“:

    1. Erhebt digitale Technik nicht zum Selbstzweck.
    2. Schreibt Maschinen keine Menschlichkeit zu.
    3. Schafft Raum für Muße und analoge Begegnung.
    4. Garantiert den Erhalt sozialer und demokratischer Kompetenzen.
    5. Zerstört nicht die Natur für den technischen Fortschritt.
    6. Behandelt Menschen nicht als bloße Datenobjekte.
    7. Lasst Euch nicht Eurer menschlichen Potenziale berauben.
    8. Verleugnet nicht die Grenzen der Technik.
    9. Nutzt Maschinen nicht, um die Freiheit Anderer zu untergraben.
    10. Verhindert Machtkonzentration und garantiert Teilhabe.
