Cory Doctorow's concept of web enshittification ("platform decay" for readers of a delicate disposition) now has its own Wikipedia page.

So it is real, you aren't imagining it, platforms really are making their services worse in their quest to monetise every moving part of our online lives.

En France, Pays de la révolution Française et de la déclaration des Droits de l'Homme, on en est à interdire aux citoyens de manifester par simple arrêté municipal ! Mais où va-t-on là ?

Analyse lumineuse d’Élie Barnavi, ancien ambassadeur d’Israël en France, sur les événements du week-end : à la fois « surprenants » et « prévisibles ». Ceci « n’est pas un décret du ciel. C’est la résultante d’une conjonction de facteurs : une organisation islamiste fanatique dont l’objectif déclaré est la destruction d’Israël ; et une politique israélienne imbécile à laquelle se sont accrochés les gouvernements successifs et que le dernier a portée à l’incandescence. » https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2023/10/08/elie-barnavi-l-attaque-du-hamas-resulte-de-la-conjonction-d-une-organisation-islamiste-fanatique-et-d-une-politique-israelienne-imbecile_6193197_3232.html

The devastating situation in #Israel leaves me speechless.

I was scheduled to fly to #TelAviv today to meet with friends and colleagues from Israel and Germany for a bi-national communication research conference.

My thoughts are with the Israeli colleagues and all people living in or visiting the region currently. I hope for #Peace

Ganz offensichtlich gelingt es Rechtsaußen besser, Menschen zu erreichen.

Das hat auch viel mit PR und mit Social Media zu tun. Aber auch mit dem Fokus auf innerlinke Debatten.

Was fehlt: Handwerklich gut gemachte linke Medienarbeit. (Und Geld dafür, wahrscheinlich.)

Did you miss this yesterday? Well, here you are again. (It’s actually a good idea to prescribe to this site. I only post new links on Sunday mornings at 9 am local time, so you can easily get rid of mails before the new week starts)
