Ook Luuk van Middelaar een paar weken geleden maakte duidelijk dat de schok nog in moet zinken voor velen in politieke en zakelijke circuits. Laten we het noemen wat het is: β€˜war on democracy’.

Als de overheid burgers, bedrijven, internationale instituten als ICC geen veilige digitale omgeving kan bieden is dat een groot probleem. Dit is, gezien de digitale afhankelijkheid van iedereen een politieke kwestie van dezelfde orde als defensie

Voorzitter Europese Raad: VS moet zich niet bemoeien met Europese politiek Antonio Costa reageerde op de nieuwe Amerikaanse veiligheidsstrategie die enkele dagen geleden werd gepubliceerd.

Daar zou je vangrails tegen willen opzetten. De trias politica is niet toereikend, althans niet in Rusland, Hongarije, de VS. Wellicht dat civil society, mits erkend en voorzien van eigen instrumenten voor communicatie en besluitvorming, daar een van is.

Belangrijke stelling! Democratie blijkt te instrumentaliseren te zijn, dus de processen en instituties van de democratie zijn te manipuleren voor bijv. machtsgreep, totalitarisme, enz.

Proud to have co-authored the report with the brilliant @francescabria.bsky.social and @paultimmers.bsky.social

Recordtemperatuur van 50,5 graden gemeten in Turkije, evacuaties om branden Momenteel kampt het hele land met een extreme hittegolf. Daarbij zijn meerdere natuurbranden ontstaan in verschillende regio's.

nos.nl/l/2576532 Ben ik nu de enige die hier bezorgd over is? Met deze snelle temperatuurverandering is t over een paar jaar 60 of 70 graden. Er is geen natuurkundige reden dat het niet heel snel veel heter wordt. Maar de politiek onder leiding van mensen als Trump doet niets. We worden geroosterd.

The EU needs the courage to imagine a different digital economy Trump’s tech oligarchs are afraid of Europe’s regulatory power β€” as they should be

The EU must reimagine its digital economy: fix tech investment gaps, update outdated rules, and build consensusΒ that another digital world is possibleβ€”alternative to the oligarch-run stack. Great piece by @martinsandbu.ft.com, citing my upcoming #EuroStack report: www.ft.com/content/fce3...
