At least 2 cabinet ministers and all the leading supermarkets say price caps won’t help because: The 2 cabinet ministers are in the pocket of the supermarkets and also the supermarkets are greedy bastards who are bleeding us dry. These people are profiteering scumbags making money from misery #

HEART OF UKRAINE!

Ganna Plikhchynska from Stepova Dolyna village, Mykolaiv region. She evacuated with her cow Lana when the full-scale invasion began and returned after her village was de-occupied.

She had to turn into a sapper for her cow. Everyday, before letting Lana out to the pasture, Ganna looks for explosives.
She collects the small ones herself.
For the big ones she marks the spot and calls the police.

This makes me so f**king angry!

They voted for something that plenty told them was a stupid idea. They were warned by NO but they fell for the lies. Now it has turned out EXACTLY as the remain campaign said it would.

Sadly, we live in a country that elected a government that chose a person, sacked from multiple jobs previously for lying, and asked us to believe in him and them.
Tories are scum. Lying, loathsome, murderous, treacherous, self-serving cunts. All of them.

Ukrainian supermodel Alina Baikova came to Cannes Film Festival wearing a "F**K YOU PUTIN" T-shirt. Security tried to shield her clothes from view.

This happened during a premiere of The Old Oak movie by Ken Loach. Reportedly, security acted that way because any type of protests are forbidden during the festival.

SWING & A MISS!

Two Russian Su-34 bombers strike from ultra-low altitudes with free-falling high-explosive bombs

No air defense countermeasures, no one is shooting at the planes, visibility is excellent, no wind. However, in such ideal conditions, both Russian bombers miss their target, and the bombs fall into the field, the building remains intact.

The Su-34s with an export value of $ 50 million are bombed with bombs from the Second World War.

So Mr Musk has pulled Twitter out of the 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 disinformation code in place in the EU.

Big deal. He has made it easier for disinformation to propagate across his platform since taking over rather than harder. He doesn't care about truth, only engagement.

Soon (August 25th) the EU will implement an enforceable law that 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 platforms with over 45 million users to expeditiously remove disinformation. It'll be interesting to see what Musk does about it. He sure win't be able to just ignore it – his pockets aren't as deep as they used to be and the EU likes to levy large fines.

Das 40,00€ teurer gewordene Nachfolgeticket zum 9-Euro-Ticket soll Daten melken. Zwar solle das Ticket übergangsweise nicht nur für Smartphones erhältlich sein sondern auch auf Chip-Karten und kurzzeitig auf Papier mit QR-Code, aber wichtig scheint es den Regierenden vor allem anderen, dass mit dem 49€-Ticket Echtzeit-Verkehrsdaten erhoben werden können.

Positiv klingt zunächst: "Es werde nicht gespeichert, wer von A nach B fährt, sondern nur, wie stark die Verkehrsmittel ausgelastet sind. Für die Fahrgäste könnte das ein Nutzen sein, weil die Verkehrsunternehmen so für ausreichend Kapazitäten sorgen könnten."

Allerdings: Das Ticket wird wohl nur als Abo personalisiert erworben werden können, so dass darüber anfallende Personendaten zukünftig schnell integriert werden könnten. Mit Hinblick auf den aktuellen massiven Ausbau des Überwachungsstaats und der Kontrollgesellschaft in Deutschland und der EU (digitale Personenkennziffer/RegMod, Chatkontrolle, Identifizierungspflicht, Biometrie, eIDAS uvm) ist es doch auch gar nicht die Frage ob, sondern nur wann und mit welchem Vorwand (Anschläge, Pandemie, Jugendschutz, Wahlkampf) personalisierte Datenerfassung und Polizeizugriffe kommen werden, sobald die digitale Kontrollinfrastruktur erst einmal errichtet wurde.

Dass es bei der nicht um den behaupteten Schutz von Kindern geht, sondern um allgemeine Verschlüsselungsverbote, Identifizierungspflichten und die Errichtung neuer digitaler, erweiterbare Kontrollinfrastrukturen, dürfte längst bekannt sein.

Dass Staaten und in diesem Zusammenhang jetzt sogar noch auf die Echtzeit-Überwachung von Audiokommunikation hinarbeiten, zeigt, wie weit und maßlos die autoritären Bestrebungen der Herrschenden offensichtlich reichen und wie gefährlich "digitale Vorhaben" der EU ganz allgemein sind.

Es sollte aber auch bedacht werden, dass es sich bei so etwas um taktische Maximalforderung handeln kann. Nach dem Muster, dass alles andere dann "nicht mehr so schlimm" wirkt und im Falle einer vermeintlichen Abschwächung des Vorhabens oder eines Gerichtsurteils, zwar ein "Immerhin ist das mit der Audioüberwachung nicht durchgekommen" steht und irgendwelche Seiten und Parteien sich mal wieder für irgendwelche faulen Kompromisse feiern lassen, während trotzdem die von persönlicher Text-Kommunikation, Identifizierungspflichten für Chatprogramme, Websites und App-Stores sowie Netzsperren durchgesetzt werden.

, Content-Filterung und Meldung, Terrorgesetze, Ausrufung des "Kampfs gegen Extremismus, Hass und Hetze", , , Software-Verbote und Löschungen unerwünschter Programme aus App-Stores, Biometriedatenbanken und "smartes", vernetztes, ki-getriebenes, omnipräsentes Überwachen und Kontrollieren - kurzum, die digitale Repression.

Was in Teilen Chinas längst schon Praxis ist, bringen auch in der Innenminister*innen, EU-Kommissionspersonal und Konzerne auf den Weg, um ihre autoritären Träume bald schon wahr werden zu lassen.

Wenn auch die Folgen in direkter und drastischer erkennbar sein mögen, so sind Zweck und Absichten dahinter fraglos die Selben: Der Wunsch, nach totaler Macht und Kontrolle über alle Menschen. Diesen verspricht die "digitale " den Herrschenden zu erfüllen, ob in , Beijing, Boston oder . Es liegt an allen anderen, dass es ihnen nicht gelingen kann.

The query to find accounts for MEPs has been updated on our frontpage:
https://w.wiki/62$8

It now includes languages and political groups so that you can more easily find accounts you want to follow (or mute!).

praetor,

@HistoPol Thanks! Most mirrors are hosted without the original account's explicit cooperation. Hopefully, more MEPs and institutions will notice the benefits of the fediverse and take the lead themselves, so at some point we become redundant.

On you can also see a list of "official" fediverse accounts for MEPs and former MEPs:
