Following our @fragdenstaat.de investigation into industry influence on #AI regulation, @thegoodlobby.bsky.social invited me to explore the impact of transparency gaps in this area. I argue that refusing to release information requested through #FOIA creates a serious accountability problem

Next week, I’ll be in Perugia for the #ijf25 Interested in how newsrooms can collaborate with citizens on public interest investigations or in making access to information and #FOIA more accessible to communities?
