1 - To protect people from deepfakes has merit and is very, very needed. Urgently, even.
2 - Every single time people tried to use copyright law to do stuff copyright law is not intended to do, the results were catastrophic. No problems were solved that way, and new problems were created.
Stop it. Just stop.

At 25%, the country’s tax rate on books is the highest in the world, a policy the government believes is contributing to a growing “reading crisis”.
The culture minister, Jakob Engel-Schmidt, announced on Wednesday that the government would propose in its budget bill that the tax on books be removed.
The move is expected to cost 330m kroner (£38m) a year.

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgThe article points out that the rise on borrowing and visiting libraries in Denmark is an anomaly in Europe*, which is a pity. It also rightly identified that the number of events, reading groups and a good selection of books are key to get people into libraries. IMHO, the other important factor is the digital side. It's extremely easy to see what books are available and to order from libraries across the whole country on the bibliotek.dk website.
And once you're in the library to collect one thing, it's easy to pick up a few more...

https://fediscience.org/@Ruth_Mottram/114946331036135197
Ruth_Mottram - Last year Danes borrowed 23.6 million paper books from public libraries, plus music, film, games digital loans, with 32.5 million in person library visits. It's increasing annually too.
I'm not surprised, Danish libraries are wonderful, everyone should have this.

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgInteresting piece in Nature last week about Antarctic research infrastructure. China has just opened it's fifth station, as the US retreats from science in general, and especially polar research. Many countries in Europe are also rather weakly present in the Antarctic, and there is no common EU programme.
In Denmark, we haven't even ratified the Madrid protocols for environmental protection of Antarctica, never mind signed the Antarctic Treaty. In spite of the actually rather strong Danish input to Antarctic research in general - much of which is driven by the fact that our future sea level rise will be largely determined by what happens in the Antarctic.

But I like even less the idea of sending my children to fight wars we were told couldn't happen and losing control over our own rights and protections.
And if we want to get anything done on a range of subjects from #ClimateChange and #BiodiversityCrisis to #democracy, #Humanrights, #equality and bodily autonomy as well as #techRegulation ethical AI then we need to carry the big sticks.
And we need to do all this without leaving Ukraine as a hostage to fortune.
However, we're here and we're not going away...
