The Digital Freedoms and Rights are constantly evolving, legally, technically and socially. However not always improving for you or the general public.
For the past twenty years, the places where citizens meet, debate, organise and form public opinion have quietly been moved from public squares, newspapers, forums and broadcast media into privately owned closed digital platforms. What we are missing is your politicians’ decisions to stop managing the symptoms inside closed platforms and start building the future - an open Internet that serves democracy instead of exploiting it.
On November 25-26, 2025, I attended the SEMIC conference. It is Europe’s leading event for semantic interoperability and digital public administration.
Yesterday I joined the first day of the Open Government Partnership Global Summit in Vitoria-Gasteiz. I’m looking forward to building relations and collaborations here until Friday!🤝
