I am honored to be chosen by the Nordic ministers of culture to be one of thirteen experts in a new Nordic think tank. The think tank will take a closer look at the tech giants’ influence on democracy in the Nordic Region and come up with proposals for solutions.

The think tank will carry out the work over the course of the next 12 months, and will result in a presentation of its recommendations in the first half of 2023.

So all thoughts and comments are welcome!

thank you for the links. I'll take a look when we start working. I've followed your work before, during my time as Special Counsel for the protection of democratic dialogue for the Swedish Government. Our work can be found at https://www.demokratiskasamtalet.se . I'll also continue to being to light what comes out of the think tank here, as work progresses.
