We call on EU member states to ensure that regulations to promote a safer internet do not undermine that goal by introducing backdoors to encryption.

The European Parliament's current proposal goes in the right direction. In contrast, the European Commission's current proposal is deeply worrying.

So let me get this right: Europol wants to not have E2EE because it would prevent them finding CSAM / CSE (among other things), but Europol also doesn't have a CyberTipline API for organisations to report CSAM / CSE to law enforcement?

So you aren't receiving reports of CSAM / CSE efficiently from existing services, but arguing you want to violate everyone's privacy to "find CSAM / CSE"

Did I get that right?

BREAKING: Federal judge dismisses a conservative lawsuit challenging a Washington, D.C. law that allows noncitizen residents to vote in local elections. Republican voters argued the law "discriminates against U.S. citizens living in D.C."

"It was in the countryside that both Mussolini and Hitler won their first mass following, and it was angry farmers who provided their first mass constituency.”

George Monbiot writes on the far right’s new agrarian populism, from Berlin to Nevada, and the moral forcefield surrounding farmers’ protests, defending them from criticism.

The EU finally sinks its regulatory teeth into tech titans

"Last week the six biggest operators – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft and ByteDance – were forced to toe the line on competition, advertising, interoperability and more. It was a gamechanger [...]

The existential challenge for societies today is whether they are capable of reining in tech power. [... T]his is a critical experiment for democracies"

Why can EU companies not use US-based cloud infrastructure and SaaS products?

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows the US government to force US companies to share foreign customer data without a warrant or disclosure.

There is no way to reconcile US govt surveillance with the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights on privacy.

Just nu sprider EU-kommissionen ett sponsrat inlägg på X (Twitter) med felaktig information om folkets stöd för massövervakningsförslaget Chat Control 2.0. Det är anmärkningsvärt att EU underminerar sin egen trovärdighet och sprider desinformation för skattepengar. Detta skriver jag om på Voister Debatt idag.

One could ponder if foreign powers are behind, or somehow involved in, the Chat Control EU proposal 🤔

Imagine how lovely it would be for foreign intelligence services to get access to a "law enforcement backdoor" in products like WhatsApp, Signal, Skype, SnapChat, Messenger, etc. And you wouldn't even know that someone is listening.

State secrets? I think not 😑

And our children will hate us for it for generations to come.

I was surprised how many startup founders at were unaware European companies cannot use most US-based cloud services without violating GDPR because the US government has surveillance authority over most cloud infrastructure providers.

the sound of silence from Western academia 😥 Where is the condemnation of Israel's elimination of Palestinian universities?🤔

'Israel’s military occupies and destroys Israa University in Gaza. Israa University in Gaza was transformed into a military base by Israel’s armed forces, as confirmed by the university’s official Facebook page.

The institution, which once served as a beacon of education, was reportedly used for Israeli military operations, the detention of isolated civilians, and interrogation purposes.'

Meta is back to pushing its coerced "consent" tactic on Instagram users in the EU: pay or agree to give us all your data.

Do NOT give consent. Force quit Instagram and relaunch to get around the block.

This screen went away for a few months, but is back as a ruling from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is expected soon.

Jag vill poängtera att det inte är ett ”kritiserat förslag mot barnporr som stoppas”. Det är ett kritiserat massövervakningsförslag som bryter mot Barnkonventionen som tillfälligt ser ut att kunna förhindras.

Let's face facts, we all live in colonialist, fascist, imperialistic, empire like countries, it is knowing the degree of which the majority of the population is willing to put up with, without revolting, that is the art of politics.

Right now many are testing those limits, and your own personal apathy towards their actions.

What are you willing to accept?
