Vanaf 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.

@taylorlorenz I'm glad and happy to read what the people I follow are working on, dealing with, what thoughts and ideas they have, etc. That's what social media should be about. It's so much better than a timeline contaminated with ads and influencers you don't follow. It feels healthier, more natural.

@taylorlorenz No "blue checks" are needed to prove account authenticity when the server instance is self-managed by a government/organisation/private-person. It's opt-in; you'll only see messages from those you follow, or what they boost, or from those on the same server. There's no single organization behind it with absolute power over the servers and it's data (no addictive algorithms), or that can suddenly change the rules after it becomes very successful.

We've preliminary found that TikTok is in breach of the DSA for its addictive design.

There are important indicators of compulsive use of the app that TikTok has disregarded in its risk assessment.

Key features of the addictive design:
🔹Infinite scroll
🔹Autoplay
🔹Push notifications
🔹Highly personalised recommender system

We consider that TikTok needs to change the basic design of its service.

TikTok can now exercise its right to examine and reply to the finding.
