EU Parliament heads to December plenary to vote on the Biotech Act – a one‑stop rule book for biotech.

Key insight: it balances faster approvals with tighter safety checks and ethics oversight.

- Unified EU framework
- Faster market access
- Strong public‑rights safeguards

Will it really protect people while fueling innovation? Time will tell.

Jack Dorsey:

We need a new #InstantMessenger something that's not #WhatsApp, #Telegram or #Signal.

There should be indexers that act as a phone books, but at the same time, people can bypass that by directly adding contacts.

All chat history and groups are peer 2 peer and are stored like torrents with the extended backup being self-hostable.

Recent chat history (up to 30 days) can be stored on the indexer, though they're encrypted and so the server is blind to what's in them. They should explicitly be opt-in.

Whenever a user adds a new client (device) to private chat groups, all conversations recipients should have to approve in order for them to see the chat history.

It should also have all the bells and whistles, like emoji, stickers, groups, channels, etc.

@sgx That's exactly what people need. No jargon and visually simple. People need to bear that in mind when they're favoriting, boosting, searching etc.

I’m a freelance project manager running #webdev and other #digitaltechnology projects for NGOs and businesses with an ethical purpose.

Would be great to meet more people interested in using #civictechnology #opendata, #opensource and #DecentralisedTech to benefit society and repair our broken democracies.

Also interested in #running, #photography and all things #creative.

Roots in both #CapeTown and #London

Also helps that there are rules. And #DecentralisedTech for the win!! #Twittermirgration
