As input for the #digitalpolicy agenda for the 2nd part of Europe’s Digital Decade, we share seven suggestions for policy interventions in support of the #DigitalCommons. These policies create an opportunity for an internet governed not as a marketplace but as a #DigitalPublicSpace 🏛https://paradox.openfuture.eu/policies/ 🧵1/8

There is a #Wikipedia proposal [0] to modify the 'Find general sources' template [1]. The template is used on nearly a million Wikipedia pages (esp. talk pages, not articles). Knowledge review circulates between search engines + meta-search engines, academic peer-reviewed papers, and Wikipedia - should #SurveillanceCapitalism retain its power here? This #OpenKnowledge decision-making is #transparent and #participatory.

Lithograph’s from 1860AD #sanskrit #digitization #servantsofknowledge - we scanned these exactly a year ago. Owner of these Sri GSS Murthy visited our scanning facility with his wife and was amazed to see things we are doing around #openknowledge #openaccess initiatives here in India. He came back with few more rare Telugu manuscripts. We will be sharing them shortly. @carlmalamud @internetarchive @creativecommons

Wikipedia and the Internet Archive are more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than any other person or entity that I can think of.

Hello Fediverse!

Wikipedia :wikipedia: is a multilingual free online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteers, known as Wikipedians, through open collaboration and using a wiki-based editing system called MediaWiki -- at least that's what our Wikipedia article says (https://w.wiki/W).
