Was soll das? Und ganz vorne wieder mit dabei: die völlig entfesselte Skandalhorde „Polizei Berlin“, politisch verantwortlich für sie ist übrigens die SPD Berlin! Die lässt alles laufen. Seit Jahren!
Polizei Berlin versucht sich um den Preis „Beamte des Jahres“ verdient zu machen.

Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

The @ec.europa.eu and EPP president Von Der Leyen's shameful capitulation on Europe's tech regulation to Trump and his fascist tech bro posse.

2/3 of Europeans described the summer trade deal with the US as "a humilation". How much lower can you go?!

We will neither forgive nor forget.

Why Civil Society Is Sounding the Alarm on the EU’s Omnibus Rollback | TechPolicy.Press Under the guise of “simplification,” a corporate-backed wave of weakening digital rules is underway that threatens all of our rights, writes Joshua Franco.

The European Commission seems to believe that rights are an obstacle to competitiveness and innovation, but real innovation means finding ways to make new technologies work for everyone’s benefit, writes Amnesty Tech's Joshua Franco.

So, now that the #digitalomnibus has been proposed to make US big tech and AI companies even more powerful, when does the tariff rollback come?

Great to see @alexandrageese.bsky.social on fire. Takeaways:
1. EU capital investing in US tech instead of European
2. Public procurement power not deployed to prefer EU tech
3. The unbelievable admiration(!) in EC circles for big tech.

But momentum building for building OUR tech #EuroSkyLive

In our corner of the room, we think:

- European preference in procurement is a start (with conditionalities)
- DMA cloud investigations a badly needed move (but let's hit the gas, please)
- Omnibus: has European tech business asked for this? Or Big Tech? Not the ones I talk to. I'd be wary, here.
