Informationsfrihed

Der tales meget om truslerne mod vores demokrati og frie samfund. Men hvor bange skal vi være for disse trusler, og hvordan skal vi forholde os til dem? Er vi i gang med at forsvare friheden på en måde, der i virkeligheden indskrænker den – fx når vi diskuterer adgangen til statsborgerskab, øget overvågning og religion i det offentlige rum?I Danmark har vi en lang tradition for åndsfrihed, men traditionen er under pres. Fra religiøse ekstremister, men også fx fra internationale tech-giganter og danske religionsforskrækkede politikere. Åndsfriheden trænger derfor til at blive genopdaget. Bogens første del indeholder en lettilgængelig introduktion til begrebet ’åndsfrihed’, dets implikationer og historie med foregangsmænd som N.F.S. Grundtvig og Hal Koch. I anden del diskuteres aktuelle emner som friskolestramninger, indfødsretskrav, forskningsfrihed, identitetspolitik, ytringsfrihed på de sociale medier, overvågning, negativ social kontrol, omskæring, tildækningsforbud, corona-kamp m.m. Til slut præsenteres 10 konkrete forslag, der kan øge åndsfriheden.

Zum WerkDie Verbreitung von Systemen, die der sogenannten künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) zugeordnet werden, nimmt immer weiter zu. Sie werden vielfach als nützliches Hilfsmittel wahrgenommen, die die Effizienz und Wirtschaftlichkeit des Arbeitens erhöhen können. Neben diesen positiven Auswirkungen der Verwendung von KI-Methoden rücken aber mit deren zunehmender Verbreitung auch damit einhergehende neue, rechtliche Fragestellungen und Risiken immer mehr in den Fokus des öffentlichen Diskurses. So gehen mit der Implementierung von KI in Entscheidungsprozessen beispielsweise erhebliche Diskriminierungsrisiken einher, auf die die Rechtsordnung bisher nicht vorbereitet war.Die Klärung dieser Fragen bedürfen gerade, um für die Digitalindustrie ein sicheres Handlungsumfeld zu schaffen, der Aufklärung. Ziel dieses Werkes ist daher eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit den gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen von KI und den damit einhergehenden rechtlichen und ethischen Implikationen. Dazu wird analysiert, welchen Wert KI in der Wirtschaft hat und welche rechtlichen Herausforderungen damit einhergehen. Besonders in den Blick genommen wird dazu das Immaterialgüterrecht. Auch wird dabei eine internationale Perspektive eingenommen und auf entsprechende Rechtsfragen aus chinesischer Perspektive eingegangen. Außerdem wird das Problem der Diskriminierung durch Algorithmen aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln beleuchtet und es werden mögliche Lösungsansätze aufgezeigtVorteile auf einen Blickumfassende Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftlichen und rechtlichen Auswirkungen der Implementierung von KIin diesem Bereich einzigartiger interdisziplinärer Ansatznimmt ausländische Rechtsordnungen in BezugZielgruppeFür Juristinnen und Juristen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis sowie interessiertes Fachpublikum anderer Disziplinen.

Er friheden til at ytre sig også en frihed til at ytre sig usandt eller mod bedre vidende?Bogens forfattere er anerkendte professorer inden for pædagogik og uddannelse. Men de måtte selv stå skoleret, da beskyldninger om nazimetoder mødte dem på universitetet, mens kritik spredte sig med journalistisk hast. Alle anklager endte siden med at blive tilbagevist af Nævnet for Videnskabelig Uredelighed.Processen efter de seneste folkeskolereformer i Danmark har udviklet sig til et kafkask forløb. Det forelægges her som et lærestykke i ansvarsfordelingen mellem forskere, myndigheder og medier.

How interracial love and marriage changed history, and may soon alter the landscape of American politics.Loving beyond boundaries is a radical act that is changing America. When Mildred and Richard Loving wed in 1958, they were ripped from their shared bed and taken to court. Their crime: miscegenation, punished by exile from their home state of Virginia. The resulting landmark decision of Loving v. Virginia ended bans on interracial marriage and remains a signature casethe first to use the words ';white supremacy' to describe such racism.Drawing from the earliest chapters in US history, legal scholar Sheryll Cashin reveals the enduring legacy of America's original sin, tracing how we transformed from a country without an entrenched construction of race to a nation where one drop of nonwhite blood merited exclusion from full citizenship. In vivid detail, she illustrates how the idea of whiteness was created by the planter class of yesterday and is reinforced by today's power-hungry dog-whistlers to divide struggling whites and people of color, ensuring plutocracy and undermining the common good.Cashin argues that over the course of the last four centuries there have been ';ardent integrators' and that those people are today contributing to the emergence of a class of ';culturally dexterous' Americans. In the fifty years since the Lovings won their case, approval for interracial marriage rose from 4 percent to 87 percent. Cashin speculates that rising rates of interracial intimacyincluding cross-racial adoption, romance, and friendshipcombined with immigration, demographic, and generational change, will create an ascendant coalition of culturally dexterous whites and people of color.Loving is both a history of white supremacy and a hopeful treatise on the future of race relations in America, challenging the notion that trickle-down progressive politics is our only hope for a more inclusive society. Accessible and sharp, Cashin reanimates the possibility of a future where interracial understanding serves as a catalyst of a social revolution ending not in artificial color blindness but in a culture where acceptance and difference are celebrated.

The ways and methods of the Freedom Writers as a pedagogical concept are not tied to theories but to practice and to practical life in the classroom. It therefore has more to do with tools than with books – and the most significant tool in the Freedom Writer pedagogy is the narrative. But even in a very practical world tools can be reflected on – and have to be reflected on in order to give us an idea about what is going on. So it is with narratives, too. Narratives are about lived lives, and a way to take or regain power over one’s life. Therefore, the narrative is a pathway to empowerment. By writing, reading or listening to the narratives the story-teller will experience forms of recognition that foster in him or her a feeling of self-confidence, self-esteem and self-appreciation – feeling that many have not been granted until now. This book is an account of a Freedom Writer-course, where practical writing- and art-exercises are ‘warming up’ the students – making them confident with the situation, each other and the published media – in order to write their own narrative.

FOIA requires federal agencies to provide the public with access to government records and information based on the principles of openness and accountability in government. The objective of chapter 1 was to determine the extent to which agencies have implemented selected FOIA requirements; describe the methods established by agencies to reduce backlogged requests and the effectiveness of those methods; and identify any statutory exemptions that have been used by agencies as the basis for withholding (redacting) information from requesters. Chapter 2 provides information regarding federal court decisions that pertain to the improper withholding of FOIA records. The chapter discusses how many court decisions citing the improper withholding of FOIA records have resulted in disciplinary actions against responsible agency personnel. Chapter 3 reviews DOL''s FOIA processing including how the department and its components manage and process FOIA requests, how they prioritize requests, and the extent that responses to requests have been timely; and how many lawsuits DOL has been subjected to arising from FOIA requests, and the results of those lawsuits. Chapter 4 determines FOIA litigation-related costs incurred by federal agencies for lawsuits in which the plaintiffs substantially prevailed. Congress is currently considering legislation that would make substantive changes to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Chapter 5 provides a side-by-side comparison of the bills, using the versions that have passed each of their originating congressional chambers.
