@bagder @linuxfoundation Very interesting chat here about the #linuxfoundation …
I’m still pro European #gdpr It provides a common ground to work on on a daily basis and prevents from getting intrigued into fuzzy deal making again and again. Especially big hyperscalers benefit from the #EU #gdpr. Unfortunately, they are just to ignorant to recognize.
@TechCrunch ... and nothing of value was lost. #meta #eu
Since Microsoft is organising a European Sovereign Tech Fund, we should ask Lockheed Martin to put together a European Sovereign Defense Fund. There’s probably also opportunity here to bring Amazon in to advise on EU labour standards and have McDonald’s take the lead on food safety policy in the EU.

WE PAUSE THIS WAR...
Humanity has had a hell of a bad week.
Before it continues, let's take a moment to pause and collect ourselves.
All together now....

Can we have a lill boost please? The fediverse is the only place we're on.
We're a replacement for googlemaps.
European, non-commercial, pro-local.
Thanks for sharing 
Please #boost it around and write your opinion, there is a new proposed #EU #law requiring all websites to store in plain text everything users do or write for law enforcement. This would be a complete #cybersecurity nightmare

#EU is planning a new mass #surveillance #law that includes mandating data retention, built-in #backdoors, sanctioning non-compliant services

The European Commission's "ProtectEU" strategy aims to address internal security threats but threatens digital rights by promoting #surveillance measures like #encryption backdoors and increased data retention.
It also seeks to strengthen agencies like Europol and Frontex, despite their abusive histories.
Thanks to #EDRi for their ongoing efforts to protect Europeans’ digital rights.

The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China.

We cannot rely on the US to protect or nurture the commons. Think of the US as a giant shopping mall with guns. That’s it. That’s the whole philosophy right there.
We want to safeguard the infrastructure of civilisation, we have to do it ourselves here in the EU before it’s too late. And we can start by acknowledging our own failures and redoubling our commitment to fundamental rights and democracy (and not limit our own potential by having every single decision framed by the fucking “Single Market”).
You want to end up like the US? Then let’s keep going as we are. You want something different? We must invest in the commons, embrace our diversity, embrace equity, and move to an inclusive, post-capitalist existence.
It’s up to us. The bacteria in places we haven’t even visited yet that will survive long after we’ve made ourselves extinct – should that be the route we decide to take (because yes, it is a decision) – don’t really give two shits either way.
NEW EPISODE
If Australia can be a part of #Eurovision, is there anything stopping us from welcoming our Canadian friends into the EU?! This week we talk to Stanley Pignal, The Economist's semi-Canadian Brussels bureau chief, about what would be in it for both sides.
We're also looking at the escalating political crisis in Bosnia, and the places in Europe where you're likely to live the longest.
