1/ Europe has always aspired to be a political actor on the international stage. It is important that it remains so, and this demands courage and consistency. It cannot stay silent, arms crossed, in the face of what is happening.

This is awful, people at Meta should go to prison for it, it's very clearly illegal and immoral. Really wish we could all get off WhatsApp, Facebook Marketplace and so on, they're so deeply embedded

Please note that the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) have been adopted and entered into force in November 2022, with the application of obligations as of the first trimester of 2024. They are aiming to respond to challenges associated with online platforms, with a view to create a safer and more transparent online environment by addressing a wide range of issues, including the protection of users’ fundamental rights and the impact of algorithms on users’ experiences: LINK I would like to invite you to consult the webpage of the European Commission on “The enforcement framework under the Digital Services Act”: LINK You will find more information about the steps that the Commission is taking to tackle the spread of online disinformation and misinformation and to ensure European values and democratic systems are protected on this link: LINK ETC.
Finally, I refer you to the text of the European Commission statement during the European Parliament plenary debate of 21 January 2025 on the ‘Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms’: https://europa.eu/newsroom/ecpc-failover/pdf/speech-25-310_en.pdf. On this basis, the Committee has decided not to pursue your petition any further. Nevertheless, I would like to thank you for exercising your right to petition. Yours sincerely, Bogdan Rzońca Chair Committee on Petitions

The whole thing is here. There is no misreading this: They are trying to build their SS/SA. With better pay for the people in charge of "enforcing the law" (we all know how much the law means to the Trump administration). Read it all. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Sec. 4. Using National Security Assets for Law and Order. (a) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement. (b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Attorney General, shall determine how military and national security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, and personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime.
Sec. 2. Legal Defense of Law Enforcement Officers. The Attorney General shall take all appropriate action to create a mechanism to provide legal resources and indemnification to law enforcement officers who unjustly incur expenses and liabilities for actions taken during the performance of their official duties to enforce the law. This mechanism shall include the use of private-sector pro bono assistance for such law enforcement officers.
This is highly worrying. #Trump has issued an executive order that basically is supposed to make it possible to use military forces as "law enforcement" and paves the way for the police acting with legal impunity. They are preparing to violently quash expected riots.

Did Bluesky have to censor Turkish political commenters?
Of course they did. Any centralized social network works this way and has this vulnerability.
They will have to do it with your political posts too, when the US starts asking them to do it.
Folks, DOGE never cared about actually saving any money. They wanted the data.

I wrote about how Musk wants to implement the public sector version of enshittification for Social Security. Someone noted, "Same with the Postal Service." Yep! And really, same with everything. My point was HE EVEN WANTS TO DO THIS WITH SOCIAL SECURITY.
