Help shape Europe’s Digital Commons — Open position for EDIC Director (F/M/X)

Last week, the European Commission announced the creation of the EDIC Digital Commons, a new initiative to support open, interoperable digital commons and strengthen digital sovereignty for 450 million Europeans.

The consortium is now hiring a Director to join the founding team and take the #EDICDigitalCommons into its next phase.

Russia is now using FPV drones guided via 4G networks, delivered deep into Ukrainian territory by “Molniya” UAVs. The FPV detaches mid-air and connects to Ukraine’s LTE to search for targets. One such combo attacked a civilian minibus in Mykolaivka, Sumy region, 35 km from the border.

(1/2) Is this the end of #ChatControl ?

Well, not quite, but big news nevertheless!

The Danish govt has told reporters that they plan to drop the Commission's proposed "Detection Orders" (mandates requiring chat and email providers to scan people's private communications, even if it breaks end-to-end encryption), due to a lack of political support.

Having previously been fierce proponents of encryption-breaking mass scanning, this is a big change from Denmark.

However, it DOESN'T mean....

Ukrainian police released the first moments after a Russian drone strike hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv.

Thanks to the teachers who swiftly reacted to the air raid alert, all children were in the shelter, preventing more tragedy.

Shock in Brussels and outrage across civil society.
This story is not going away.

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 (edri.org/wp-content/uploads/20);

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

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

@panoptykon Niedawno Allegro zaktualizowało politykę ochrony prywatności i od 18 sierpnia 2025 w oparciu o dane osobowe użytkowników może wyświetlać im swoje reklamy na TikToku (wcześniej robiło to już na Facebooku i w Google). Podstawą zmiany jest niby "poprawa ochrony prywatności kupujących i sprzedających (artykuł 14.1 Regulaminu Allegro, litera e)".

Czy taka zmiana z błędną podstawą jest dozwolona? Nie poprawia ona niczyjej prywatności.
