🇩🇰 🇳🇱🇪🇺
Worth contemplating today when Hungary votes 🗳️ 🇭🇺
An electoral autocracy (defined by V-dem Institute), member of the European Union 🇪🇺, with overt electoral interference from both Russia and the US, for the same candidate.
Rathenau InstituutDe rode loper voor inmenging ligt uit: hoe word je misleid in aanloop naar verkiezingen? Wat zijn de risico's van aanbevelingsalgoritmes en hoe verminderen we die?
Morgen organiseren we een webinar over ons onderzoek Scrollend naar de stembus. In een uurtje vertellen we je alles over het onderzoek. Ook geven @claesdevreese en @goanta een korte reflectie op de uitkomsten en is er tijd voor vragen.
Do. 26 mrt 13-14 uur. Al bezet? Meld je aan en kijk later terug.

Chatbots are increasingly popular as voting aids in elections. Most are not fit for this purpose.
The generational difference in use is huge. Ahead of the Danish elections, 13% say they will use chatbots for advice. That is 1 in 5 in Gen Z. And 1 in 20 amongst Boomers.

"The speed with which American democracy is currently dismantled is unprecedented in modern history"
V-dem uses a global dataset on democracy with over 32 million data points for 202 countries, from 1789 to 2025.

Willemijn AerdtsVanaf vandaag ben ik voor nieuws en updates ook te volgen op Mastodon!
Deze week ben ik gestart als staatssecretaris Digitale Economie en Soevereiniteit. Een belangrijke taak, met voor het eerst alle digitale onderwerpen in één portefeuille.
Dat is harder nodig dan ooit. Digitalisering en AI zijn onmisbaar voor innovatie, economische groei, veiligheid en onze welvaart. Nederland en Europa moeten koploper worden in de digitale wereld, met een sterke en onafhankelijke techsector.
When asked to provide a quote for Stine Jensen’s wonderful #ZinvandeDag series I opted not for a Danish one. But for Hannah Arendt whose work we should be reminded of daily.
And in this quote she offers guidance for both society at large and directly for my work on disinformation, power, technology, and politics.
Tak Stine for the opportunity to think along and out loud in your series.
