Hinzu kommt eine visionslose SPD, die keine Perspektive für eine zunehmend automatisierte Wirtschaftswelt anbieten kann und personell eine Katastrophe ist.21 Jan 2026 08:13 +0000at://did:plc:7yset2hjbnbjnu4simcmt2if/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcw7zbdbcc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/laserjunge.bsky.social/post/3mctp3ioijk2iAt the European Parliament: ‼️Forbid ad-driven content-filter on social media‼️ Why?! Because it destroys our democracy and destabilizes our society. Strong and healthy democracies needs space for social- and self-correction.
