🔒How do they undermine our right to privacy and security?

Democrats in the House and Senate announced plans for a wide-ranging investigation into immigration agents’ detention of citizens after a ProPublica story found that more than 170 Americans have been held by immigration officials this year.
Since #BoycottDisney is trending now, why not take a look at Knights of Guinevere? It's an indy show created by Dana Terrace, the creator of The Owl House (a show that Disney cut short because it "didn't fit the brand"), and it's basically a sci-fi horror story about what it's like to work for Disney. It premiered yesterday. CW violence (it's an adult series).

We did it: 🇩🇪Germany will OPPOSE Chat Control! 🥳
Thanks everyone for writing to the ministers. 🫶
#ChatControl will not get a majority in the EU Council - at least for now.

Librem 5 PM OS Gnome Mobile Shell Impressions:
1. visually very pleasing and intuitive gestures and buttons
2. its a bit sluggish, hesitant turning off display with pwr button, unfolding panels, exposing app switcher etc
3. infrequent crashes, shell restarts, ui touch input freezes,
4. nightlight does not work,
5. calls does not correctly route audio, cant hear person on other line, and person cant hear you
6. no terminal keyboard switcher
🇪🇺When Germany's leading network of support centers for victims of violence warns against #ChatControl, governments should listen. 📢
Their verdict: It fails to protect children but endangers the confidential counseling that victims rely on!
a #ChatControl update (shared on the ISOC GE mailing list):
"The good news is that the blocking minority held. Members states raised concerns about privacy and cybersecurity as reasons for their opposition. Even countries that are officially in support of the proposal asked questions along these lines for the first time – showing that they are facing increased pressure back home.
The bad news is that #Denmark is moving forward even though they did not receive full support. They are keeping their plan to take this proposal to the Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on October 14th.
After discussing with partners, we understand this as a strategy from Denmark. They are not making progress at the working level (the meeting today) and therefore will try directly at the political level (justice and home affairs). During these coming four weeks they will try to convince some of the blocking member states to reconsider their position.
What this means for us is that we need to keep up the pressure. We should be thanking the blocking countries for their position and encouraging the undecided or supportive countries to reconsider. We should keep up pressure in the media at the same time."
The Filmbook app has been lacking a proper icon for too long, but @nido@troet.cafe has stepped up to tackle this challenge! He's created two fantastic design options, and I honestly can't decide between them.
That's where you come in – I'd love your help in choosing the best one! Please boost this post and vote for whichever icon you think works best for the app.
Your feedback means a lot! 📱✨
