So the new German ministry for research is called the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie, und Raumfahrt, or BMFTR, and thinks of itself as the BMFuTuRe. #WIConf2025
I wonder if anyone involved has read Kim Stanley Robinson.

Today's fun at the "Democratic wellbeing" roundtable at the Weizenbaum Conference. A great discussion with Maren Hartmann and Merja Mahrt, starting from the #MeDeMAP book on "Democracy and Media in Europe" by Jeffrey Wimmer and myself. Wonderful to see all these new horizons open up. #WIConf2025

How or why does #political content spread on #TikTok? Is there a large supply by political actors, is there a high demand by users for political content or is that content preferred by the platform algorithms? Weizenbaum researcher Felix Gaisbauer takes the issue apart at #WIConf2025

Platforms need to be researched on the risks they pose to society, like our civic discourse or our mental health. But the relationships between researchers, platforms and regulators are complicated. @lkseiling.bsky.social presenting their work on the #DSA at #WIConf2025

Promotional poster for the 7th Weizenbaum Conference, titled 'Empowering People in Online Spaces: Democracy and Well-being in Digital Societies,' taking place on 4–5 June 2025. It features a quote from Dr. Silke Launert, Member of the German Bundestag and Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space, emphasizing the importance of international, science-based exchange on digital transformation. A photo of Dr. Launert smiling and standing outdoors is included on the right side of the poster.
We are very much looking forward to the closing address by Dr. Silke Launert, Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space, on the second day of the #WIConf2025.

Valentin Ihßen during his talk
In his talk at #WIConf2025, @valentinihssen.bsky.social (@leuphana.bsky.social) suggests to understand #data not as the opposite of #culture, but as deeply intertwined with it - and to explore the meaning-making practices surrounding data.

Hotel sign for the European Winding Wire Association (EWWA) conference, on the first floor.
Man, I could have gone to that conference instead of #WIConf2025 this week. I wonder what’s new in winding wire in Europe these days.
(Bet their presentations have good twists. Might have put a spring in my step. Twirling, twirling into the future. Etc.)

What does it look like to build a fact-checking community? Offering people the space to engage in public discourse and reflect on their work. In our #WIConf2025 session on participation and co-production Caroline Lindekamp and Anna Süß talk about their experiences in the @correctiv.org Faktenforum.

There is little research on #microtargeting ads so far. Mona Krewel & @jeanellefrontin.bsky.social researched their impact in U.S. presidential #elections with the Meta Ad Data Set. Surprisingly, not gender, age or location are used for targeting, but a persons interests instead. #WIConf2025
