Eine Szene aus "Inside CDU" zeigt, wie sich Stellung und Strategie von Neonazis in Deutschland verändert haben. Der Mann, der Sven Schulze mit dem Mikrofon durch die CDU-Wahlfeier verfolgt, war Führungskader einer militanten Neonazi-Kameradschaft, die in Dortmund mit Gewalt Angst verbreitete. 🧵

The relationship between social media and democracy is complex but important and there is a lot of debate. For coordination, I wanted to gauge the community with a discussion thread about what, in my view, we do know and the ones we do not know (yet), please add your thoughts and/or disagree: 1/n

Von der TAZ wurde ich zum Stellenwert von Social Media und KI im Bundestagswahlkampf 🗳️interviewt. Ich sehe das Gefahrenpotential von generativer KI im Wahlkampf am ehesten darin, dass „gefühlte Wahrheiten“ bebildert werden und vorhandene Einstellungen dadurch verstärkt werden. taz.de/!6061178/
