Here a good video explanation of the Max Plank Institute on how the technology of Chat Control works and what this would mean for digital communication within Europe.

Thales Belgium, one of Europe’s main weapons producers, warns its rocket factories are increasingly being overflown by drones, including near its explosive assembly site in Liège.

The company says it’s seeing “unbelievable” demand for 70mm rockets, most of which go to Ukraine, but calls for clear rules to jam or down drones as NATO faces a rising aerial threat.

- So what can we do? Well, national ministers and MPs really need to hear (ideally before Wednesday 8th) that people across the EU do not support measures that would undermine encryption or amount to mass surveillance - meaning that the Danish proposal must be opposed (https://edri.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/New-DK-Pres-text-3-October-2025.pdf);

- German, French and Italian lawmakers can be contacted easily, thanks to fightchatcontrol.eu;

- I'll share more as it happens! #StopChatControl

The tide has turned for our ocean.

With 60 ratifications, the High Seas Treaty will enter into force in early 2026.

It enables vast marine protected areas, sustainability, and fairness so no country is left behind.

Together with EU nations, we led a coalition of over 40 countries to make this happen.

Now we call on more countries to come on board.

Protecting the ocean is urgent and essential for us, our planet, and future generations.

Obywatelu, załóż fejsbuka.

Polskie organy administracji samorządowej piszą TYLKO tam.

Inaczej nie dowiesz się, że trwają testy syren alarmowych.

IMO chore. Na stronie urzędu do tej pory nic...

A Ukrainian drone captured the moment an FPV air defense drone intercepted a Russian Lancet kamikaze UAV mid-flight.

FT reports the US is ending cooperation with Europe on countering disinformation from Russia, China and Iran. The outlet also warns Ukraine faces a looming shortage of air defense systems due to US delivery delays, as Russian strikes intensify.

In Yarova, Donetsk region, a Russian airstrike hit civilians standing in line to receive pensions. At least 20 people were killed.

The European Commission has issued a survey on the Governance and Sustainability of Critical Open Source Software.

The survey hopes to identify "pathways for collective efforts" and make "actionable recommendations for public administrations".

It's a relatively short survey, takes max 15 minutes & provides lots of opportunities to rate FOSS as 'very important' 😛

🇬🇧Public pressure works: Belgium, Finland & Czechia will NOT approve the #ChatControl mass surveillance law in October. But other governments whose vote is crucial are still on the fence. Urge them to protect our digital privacy and encryption now: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#WhatYouCanDo

Microsoft Word in Windows will now save new documents to the cloud by default, starting with Windows 11 version 2509. Similar changes are planned for Excel and PowerPoint https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/8/microsoft-word-will-soon-start-auto-saving-your-documents-to-the-cloud-by-default/

On this podcast, I explain the EU's #ChatControl plan: mandatory scanning of ALL private messages. This is unprecedented in a democracy. The only other country with a similar system is China—and they use it for political control. #StopScanningMe

1/3 🕵🏽 Looking for updates on the highly criticised and controversial #CSARegulation #ChatControl

Three years on, the law is still at an impasse in the Council of EU member states 🚫

🇵🇱 Poland tried a new approach to build a bridge between the two camps – but ultimately failed because the countries supporting #MassSurveillance and breaking #encryption refused to meaningfully engage 🙅🏽‍♀️

We hacked Gemini CLI, Vertex AI, Assistant, and other AI systems by embedding prompts into images that are not visible to users.

When these systems auto-downscale images, the hidden prompts emerge from previously invisible pixel patterns. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/08/21/weaponizing-image-scaling-against-production-ai-systems/

Ukrainian intelligence reports that Russian forces are executing captured Ukrainian soldiers, quoting orders to “zero out” those who surrender. This is further evidence of a systematic policy of war crimes encouraged by the Russian command. Previously similar conversations between commanders in Russia's 155th brigade were intercepted.
