Ausschnitt Netzpolitik.org: "Lena Rohrbach, Expertin für Menschenrechte im digitalen Zeitalter bei Amnesty International sagt: „Bei der Chatkontrolle stimmt gar nichts: Als anlasslose Massenüberwachung trifft sie alle Menschen in der EU – außer Straftäter:innen, die sie umgehen werden.“ Das Vorhaben der Chatkontrolle „gefährdet die Demokratie, weil sie eine beispiellose Kontrolle unserer Kommunikation ermöglicht, die leicht missbraucht werden kann.“ Auch sie weist darauf hin, dass Kinder „echten Schutz durch Prävention und zielgerichtete Ermittlung“ benötigen würden."

Alle - Kinderschutzbund, Jurist*innen, IT-Unternehmen, NGOs, Sicherheitsbranche - sind sich einig: Die #Chatkontrolle ist ineffektiv und gefährlich. Hier die Kritik von @amnesty.de

Sir Andy Haines arguing that militarism is a threat to Planetary Health at #PHAM2025.

It causes emissions & pollution, diverts attention & investments from tackling the planetary crisis, and instead of providing security it endangers our global security and increases deaths.

Seit dem Hamas-Angriff auf Israel hat sich die Diskussionskultur an deutschen Hochschulen massiv verändert. In einer Umfrage berichten Forschende nun
von Selbstzensur, Anfeindung und einer bedrohten Wissenschaftsfreiheit.

Grafik, welche die Entwicklung der Vermögensverteilung in Deutschland seit 2010 zeigt. Der Anteil des Vermögens der oberen zehn Prozent am Gesamtvermögen steigt kontinuierlich an. Aktuell besitzen die oberen zehn Prozent der Bevölkerung 11,4 Billionen Euro, die unteren 50 Prozent lediglich 0,48 Billionen Euro (Stand: 1. Quartal 2025, Quelle: EZB).

In kaum einem Land ist Vermögen so ungleich verteilt wie in Deutschland. Die reichsten zehn Prozent der Bevölkerung besitzen sagenhafte 11,4 Billionen Euro – und werden immer reicher. Sparen aber will die Regierung bei den Ärmsten.

Spain’s PM announces total arms embargo on Israel and labels attacks on Palestinians ‘genocide’ Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez avoided breaking relations with Tel Aviv but launched nine retaliatory measures

Among the measures, in addition to the decree and ban on ships and aircraft carrying military material or fuel for the Israeli army, there will be a ban on entry into Spain for “all those participating in the genocide” — including Israeli government officials and military personnel.

La relación entre políticas públicas y muertes asociadas al calor extremo se revela claramente al observar la desigualdad económica: la mortalidad va por barrios. Dentro de una misma ciudad la esperanza de vida difiere notablemente entre zonas ricas y pobres.

Germany at that point:
- keeps delivering weapons to Israel
- has a chancellor who said he would invite ICC wanted Netanyahu to visit
- has refused to sign any EU wide text regarding Gaza/Israel
- has been cancelling pro-Palestine voices for almost two years
- is undermining international law
