Ich möchte noch mal auf diese Recherche von @evawolfangel zu @_lucaApp hinweisen
Dabei ist - neben den toll herausgearbeiteten Problemen der @_lucaApp - wichtig, das Auftreten der Protagonisten (alles Dudes) wie es sich auch in den Replies zu @evawolfangel zeigt mit in den Blick zu nehmen.
Luca wurde nicht von ein paar Freiwilligen in ihrer Freizeit gebaut sondern von einer HPI Ausgründung mit jeder Menge Connections (zum Beispiel zu deutschen Popsternchen).
Das ist nicht ein cooles Projekt eines kleinen Underdogs sondern ein Pet Projekt eines extrem gut vernetzten mittleren Unternehmens.
Dieses hat es durch gute PR von Smudo zum Beispiel geschafft, sich viele Fürsprecher einzusammeln. Einige Datenschutzbeauftragte zum Beispiel, die auch mal nicht Verhinderer sein wollten.
Oder zum Beispiel die Grünen, denen seit dem Veggie Day Debakel das Trauma der destruktiven Verbotspartei im Nacken sitzt.
Luca wird von den Expert*innen, die sich mit sowas häufiger beschäftigen (z.B. @benfooben oder @LilithWittmann ) ziemlich eindeutig als problematisch analysiert und fällt immer wieder durch komische Aussagen zu technischen Details oder Finanzierung auf.
Man sollte sich Grundsätzlich ja nicht so auf Apps verlassen um komplexe soziale Probleme zu lösen. Aber vielleicht ist hier noch etwas mehr Umsicht geboten, bevor wir einer Privaten Firma unklaren Geschäftsmodells solche Daten zur Verfügung stellen.

Germany basically shifted to a "herd immunity" (just let the fuckers die) strategy because planning for vaccinations in the months before the delivery was kinda annoying and people were busy with election campaigns or holidays.
I know that some people still think that Germany kinda knows what they are doing with the pandemic but that's totally untrue. There's no strategy, the policy is basically written by tabloids and in spite of numbers jumping up, we decided to open shit up. Now.
If I wanted to destroy trust in the political system and the general idea of politicians being competent, I'd do exactly what the German state and federal governments are doing.

(Usually this is kind of a very distanced, pseudo-intellectual blabla channel, but this is slightly different. Just ignore it if you are here for the blabla)
With a new year often come resolutions. And I do have those. Like, I want to write more on my blog for example. There's a lot of work stuff that I want to do. I plan to run the Berlin marathon again, etc. etc. Boring stuff.
But there are things that are maybe a little atypical. And these things are not "resolutions" as such but ... I don't know the right nomenclature or concepts really.

The academic job market is a train wreck and the conditions are bad still I have a pet peeve with academics:
You put out a thought here and the first thing you get is "yeah X, Y and Z wrote about that in $paywalledPublication/paper in a journal that 5 people on this planet read".
Sure, your comment is correct and offering people pointers at who works on similar issues or has good ideas about something is cool.

So. We hear a lot about bias these days, especially about bias in "AI". But while bias in "AI" systems is real and a problem, the narrative hides a bigger issue and masks it as something to find technical fixes for.
"AI" is it is understood today is basically a form of bureaucracy. Let me explain.
Bureaucracies are systems of sometimes opaque rules that stem from past experiences and that often don't really make coherent sense. These rules are applied to the world whether they fit or not. Things outside the rules are broken until they fit.

Die Datenstrategie der Bundesregierung ist nicht veröffentlicht, aber auf einer iOS- und invite-only Plattform können einige Menschen sich die Aussagen der Bundesregierung dazu anhören.

Das sagt mehr über die Datenstrategie als ihnen lieb sein kann.
Mein Gott ey. Muss man denn jedem albernen Hype hinterherrennen? Ja FOMO und Marketing ist so, aber kann man da als Minister bzw. Staatsministerin nicht mal diese pubertäre Haltung überwinden?
"Hier ist die Strategie. Lest euch die mal durch, wir machen in ner Woche nen offenen Call auf $zugänglicherPlatformX um drüber zu sprechen" wäre ja mal ne Ansage.

I think many discourses about the digital are lead as privacy discourses because privacy is thought as individualized and property which super fits the neoliberal world view where everything is tied to individuals and what they have.
"My data", "my privacy", "my right" shapes a discourse that sometimes makes sense but somehow forgets that human beings are essentially social and connected.
I kinda hesitate to re-tackle the issue just cause it kinda burned me and my name for years. But it's sad to see digital debates locked in that narrow a corridor.
