insightful piece how the EP protected our rights, while the council refused to negotiate, and the commission intentionally created pressure and then even committed maladministration, again.

Did the EU Parliament really vote not to protect children online? - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

In April 2026, negotiations on the ‘interim ePrivacy derogation’ fell apart, with several stakeholders claiming that the European Parliament stopped the EU from protecting children.

European Digital Rights (EDRi)

1/4 🚨 There's only one remaining big negotiation scheduled on the CSA Regulation (aka "#ChatControl"). Last time the negotiators met in May, it was clear there are still some crucial open questions:

❓ What sort of scanning rules will be in the final law? We continue to urge EU lawmakers to ensure that limitations on the right to communications privacy are targeted, and #MassSurveillance ruled out - in line with EU human rights and criminal procedures.

🧶2/2🧵
Europe is starting to erode all of its accomplishments in freedom and privacy, and they are all being thrown away without a good reason, and without much of a fight.
I really don't want Europe to go down this path. I look up to you, Europe, please don't make me look down on you.

Could someone please explain, for dummies like me, what is goin on or the advantages of AT Protocol? Why is interesting for e. G.  @Mastodon? Just because of bluesky? Would not be easier that @eurosky.social just creates an ActivityPub instance? Or go for #publicactivityactivitypub

From the website, I read: 1)controlled by a non profit organization and 2)🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺: Is the same EU trying to push #chatcontrol involved? I could not find if it is a W3C standard and everything seems quite confusing
@EUCommission @digitaleu Stop #chatcontrol Stop #euwallet only accessible with #google or #apple account
@Kletskous In plaats van dit te bestrijden wil de @EUCommission nog steeds #chatcontrol invoeren om alle burgers te volgen.

Stay vigilant and ready to fight back against potentially new #ChatControl bullshit coming this summer.
