#ChillingEffect Professor:innen fliegen in d #USA aus ihren Jobs, weil Studierende sie denunzieren, Sätze in Vorlesungen filmen, zu den mit Trump Loyalisten besetzten Gremien gehen u sich (erfolgreich) beschweren. Vielleicht weil ihnen eine Note nicht passte. Aus Angst zensieren sich Profs selbst. ⬇️

@grundrza.bsky.social is also great on the chilling effect this censorship in Florida is having on classes. The haphazard and random nature of who gets targeted is designed to make everyone terrified.
Victor: What impact is this having in the classroom, both for people teaching these new textbooks and for other professors? Are people self-censoring? Are they going beyond the textbook cuts, being even more cautious than the state has mandated? Zachary: To use the legal term, it's having a chilling effect. You know, people are generally terrified because it's so haphazard. This isn't about targeting the professors that you would expect them to target. It's about the randomness; it's the stochastic nature of this authoritarian project. Every case (except for Charlie Kirk tweets) I can think of of a professor being suspended or threatened for so-called “race or gender ideology” somewhere in the state of Florida has come from a student in the class filming or complaining. They catch it, go directly to a member of the Board of Trustees or the Board of Governors, make it a pet case, and then that person is disciplined. It's not like there's a formal statewide process in which they're evaluating everyone's teaching and deciding, you are the violators of the prohibition on teaching “gender ideology.” Rather, a student will file a complaint, and the Board of Governors or Board of Trustees will demand that the university president suspend the student.

Tør du sige magten imod? Hvornår har du sidst gjort det? Meget apropos 1984, som ikke kun handler om overvågning, men om iboende frygt. #chillingeffect #menneskeret #dkpol #dkjura #nøgenvisitation

Ok, ok, ok, nu bliver det sjovt! På Instagram er statsministerens søn gået amok over videoen og har startet 3 tråde: Venstrefløjen og palæstina-støtter fortjener ikke rettigheder, Danmark er det bedste demokrati i verden, og han har aldrig været bange for politiet!

Genoemd door Big Tech bedrijven in stukken gedeeld met de Amerikaanse overheid.

Dat is de realiteit. Het overkwam mij en Nederlandse and Europese ambtenaren.

Het is schandalig en intimiderend.

Microsoft deelde namen Nederlandse ambtenaren met VS: 'Ontzettend zorgelijk'
Het gaat om ambtenaren die betrokken zijn bij de handhaving van Europese regels om techplatforms te reguleren. De Amerikaanse overheid ziet die regels als censuur.

Every time Jim Jordan releases a report, he leaves personal info exposed:
✔️my home address
✔️the names of undergraduate researchers
✔️and most recently members EU civil society

Tech companies get their employees' info shielded.

Does that remind you of another, bigger non-redaction scandal? 👀

Wenn man sich einschlägige Fälle anschaut, kann man schön sehen, wie wenig es schon seit längerem braucht, um in das Visier bspw. der Polizei zu geraten. Menschen werden sich zukünftig drei- statt zweimal überlegen müssen, wie sie sich politisch engagieren. #ChillingEffect

"Gehe hart mit Demonstrierenden um, dann trauen sie sich nicht, weiter zu protestieren".
Derart wildes um sich schlagen mithilfe von Strafanzeigen, Repressionen, Bürgerbeschimpfungen und weiteren Überwachungsbestrebungen zeigt, wie groß die Unsicherheit der #Regierung ist.

Wanneer gaat het mis met een demo? Zodra er sprake is van geweld. Vernieling bv. Daarom vinden politie en OM het ook geregeld fijn om iets ‘vernieling’ te noemen als het gaat over krijtverf dat afwasbaar is - allemaal pogingen om demonstranten te ontmoedigen #ChillingEffect

Kennt Ihr den #ChillingEffect?

Die scheinbare Trumpeligkeit des #Kulturstaatsministers #Weimer soll vermutlich gezielt Kulturschaffende abschrecken, sich zu kritischen Fragen zu äussern.
Die #Reichskulturkammer von 1933 hat angerufen und möchte ihren #Faschismus zurück.
BKM lässt Jury-Listen erstellen: Weimer macht genau das, wofür er ins Amt berufen wurde
Das Vorgehen des Kulturstaatsministers wirkt stümperhaft. Aber es erzielt den gewünschten Effekt: Selbstzensur in der Kulturbranche.

Gratulation an den Bruno Manser Fonds! 👏
Ziel solcher #SLAPPs ist es, kritische Stimmen einzuschüchtern oder zum Schweigen zu bringen.
Ausserdem binden sie unnötig Ressourcen und haben einen #chillingeffect. Umso wichtiger ist dieser Erfolg vor Gericht!
