Was ist #Social #Media in diesem Zusammenhang? Das ist völlig undefiniert und konnte bei einer externen Auslegung auch #Internetverbot bedeuten.

Ein Social-Media-Verbot für Kinder unter 14 Jahren - das will nach der SPD nun auch die CDU. Doch wie schnell lässt sich das Vorhaben überhaupt umsetzen? Die SPD drückt aufs Tempo. Und was sagt die CSU?#SocialMedia #SPD #CDU

“If deradicalisation means dismantling the ideological acceptance of civilian harm, then the project does not begin in Gaza.
It begins with the state that has normalised that harm.
And we know exactly who
the BARBARIAN is”

"Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects1. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk’s platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users’ feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X’s algorithm has persistent effects on users’ current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship."

“Resistance101: Forging a New Movement for Palestine in Italy DOCUMENTARY”

“With little hope of the genocide in Gaza subsiding, dock workers in major Italian port cities have organized strikes and large demonstrations to halt arms shipments to Israel. These actions are a direct response to the refusal of international institutions and governments around the world to confront the carnage. Though the genocide continues, the dockworkers’ industrial disruption offer us a model of resistance. Will the Italian way spread to the imperial core — and can it end the genocide?”

“War doesn’t only kill and traumatise generations of people, betray children and young people who deserve a good future and an opportunity to fulfil their potential. It destroys the habitat we all share—the forests, the waters, the soil, the air we breathe, the intricate web of life that sustains us. Israel can harbour as many expansionist fantasies as it wants, but it will not survive on a hothouse planet any more than the rest of the world. No amount of military power, no nuclear arsenal, no Western backing can shield anyone from ecological collapse”
