Pro-Palestinian activists force EU commissioner to move meeting with arms manufacturer

Belgium’s Defense Minister Theo Francken reacted angrily, describing the protest as “far-left terror.”

Gestern hat die Europäische Kommission reichlich verspätet ihre #TechSovereigntyPackage vorgelegt. Ist es die erhoffte Antwort auf Basisinitiativen wie #UnplugTrump und #DIday? Es sieht nicht so aus.

@alineblankertz meint, es gehe der EU-Kommission in dem Strategiepapier v.a. darum, Nachfrage für »KI«-Rechenzentren und -Chips zu generieren – in der Hoffnung, dass die EU-Industrie ein Scheibchen davon abbekommt: https://indieweb.social/@alineblankertz/116692284482725366

Das deckt sich mit der Einschätzung europäischen Digitalrechte-Dachorganisation @edri : https://eupolicy.social/@edri/116686684971074313

Nur einen Aspekt findet #EDRi an dem Papier positiv: die anerkennenden Worte über die #FOSS-Gemeinschaft: https://eupolicy.social/@edri/116686692215990866

Aber Worte sind billig. Die Bundesregierung hat die FOSS-Förderung gerade erst zusammengestrichen.

PS: @esthermenhard hat für @netzpolitik_feed weitere Kommentare gesammelt. Spoiler: alle negativ. https://netzpolitik.org/2026/rechenzentren-in-der-eu-stromfresser-sollen-uns-souveraen-machen/

The Tech Sovereignty Package is largely about CREATING DEMAND for "AI", data centres and chips. This is most blunt in the Chips Act 2.0: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/chips-act-2 If there was still any doubt: It is not just the Big Tech companies that want to shove "AI" and data centres down our throats. The European Commission is fully onboard, as long as "Europe" (aka European companies) gets a small slice of the pie.

Starlink and Amazon Could Gain Access to Europe’s Satellite Airwaves

The European Union plans to reserve most future satellite spectrum for regional firms while still allowing Starlink and Amazon to compete, reflecting Brussels' attempt to balance technological sovereignty with market openness in a strategically sensitive communications sector.
