The European Commission must once and for all abandon the ghost of data retention that’s been haunting EU policy discussions for decades, and shift its focus to rights respecting alternatives. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/eff-european-commission-dont-resurrect-illegal-data-retention-mandates
@kkremitzki @FreeCAD If the videos do not permit reupload, but are already on a PeerTube instance, I believe you can just federate with that instance and make their videos visible on your instance without uploading them yourself.
@dzwiedziu @wariat @icd Przypominam, że już teraz WhatsApp nęka użytkowników przypomnieniami, żeby ustawić kopie zapasowe wiadomości, a domyślnie te kopie zapasowe nie są szyfrowane.
@echo_pbreyer We need younger, knowledgeable people to get into politics. We must replace the politicians who view technology, the Internet, freedom of speech, privacy, etc. as frivolous and optional.
@purism That's worrying.
@noelreports It might be influenced by US politics. The party that supports Nawrocki is generally pro-US.
@itsfoss Interesting. It's licensed under "Apache-2.0 with LLVM-exception".
@noelreports Trump's plan to ally with Russia against China failed to take into account that Russia is an aggressive, imperialist dictatorship that will break any promise as soon as it stands to gain anything from doing so. It cannot be trusted.
@itsfoss The problem with replacing YT is different than with replacing let's say Twitter. Twitter's strength is its large userbase and that's it. Meanwhile YT's strengths are: large userbase, plethora of existing content, and great monetization opportunities. It's hard to even challenge that without being a company. I think the best solution would be to set up something like Mozilla - a nonprofit that owns a company.
@auschwitzmuseum Politicians often like to structure the state and write laws in the way that makes it easier for them to do their job. We should demand that our laws and design of the state considers safety more important than convenience. A takeover by people believing in evil ideologies can happen again. We must make it as hard for them as possible.
@Devijand @EUCommission TIL, thanks. That does sound problematic.
@noelreports "Russia also wants Ukraine to be neutral"
I want Russia to be neutral.
@torproject I'll add that some people on the Internet seem to not understand that privacy is not binary. You don't have either zero privacy or full privacy. Privacy is a spectrum, you can have more or less of it.
@itsfoss F-Droid FTW!

What a fantastic win for the complainants (@edri members) @panoptykon, @bitsoffreedom, and #ICCL !
