What should be the priority for Digital Commons?
This is a question we asked to #experts of #digitalcommons. What do you think?
@sophiebloemen from the @commonsnetwork explained that there might be the need for a #cultural change. Are we all ready for this?

#DigitalCommons #EUTech
• @HenriVerdier will showcase the relevance of #DigitalCommons, #OpenSource and #OpenGov for digital transformation and sovereignty and how OpenFisca exemplifies those.
• Liv Nordhaug, CEO of the Digital Public Goods Alliance Secretariat, will present how the adoption of digital public goods to enable safe, inclusive, and interoperable digital public infrastructure globally is more relevant than ever, and which efforts are underway to that end.
Here are my slides for my talk "Using the Commons without causing a tragedy" at #FOSSback. https://aina.li/backstage2025/
As an extension of the talk, I would appreciate if you replied with your favorite digital commons that you would like more people to be aware of and use. Spread the joy!
What would our #GovTech present have looked like if we hadn't conceded the vision of our future to a few men in #SiliconValley? How could #DigitalCommons be used to reframe what is possible today?

We approach educational institutions in and around Puducherry and help them set up & nurture a #GLUG in their institutions. The GLUGs within each institution are responsible for propagating our stated principles and help them step into the FOSS ecosystem. We also organize an annual FOSS conference in Puducherry & discuss the state of digital commons here and ways to improve them. We strongly believe that public institutions should adopt #FOSS & #OpenStandards in the public interest. We also contribute data to #OpenStreetMap, #Wikipedia & #BeaconDB projects. We track the state of public infrastructure in #Puducherry by mapping them in #OSM. For example, by mapping street lights, bus stops, public toilets, drinking water, etc. We demand the UT & Union govt. to safeguard citizen's fundamental right to privacy and bring data breaches to their notice. We campaign for an inclusive digital society. Some of our members also build and release their own FOSS projects. We also organize #Mapathon & #Hackathon to contribute to digital commons. We strive to bridge the #DigitalDivide through FOSS & Commons. We demand the state to strengthen the public telecom & Internet provider #BSNL and it's infrastructure.

Web search is a cesspit of algorithm-driven propaganda
The #dotcons have turned web searches into a cesspit of algorithm-driven propaganda. What was a tool for discovery and connection is now a tightly controlled funnel, pushing people towards preordained narratives and commercialized echo chambers. Nowhere is this more obvious than on Google, the go-to gatekeeper of information, where what you find is shaped not by the richness of human knowledge, but by whatever serves the interests of those with power and capital. This isn't just an […]https://hamishcampbell.com/web-searches-is-a-cesspit-of-algorithm-driven-propaganda/
