🎙️ SOMETHING LEGENDARY IS COMING 🎙️

I'm absolutely BUZZING to announce a new hashtag#podcast that I believe is not just needed—it's going to be very special.

Yes, we may look a bit vintage (just like good radio should), but I promise you the topics will be very present, modern, and futuristic. You can bet on this.

📡 ITSPmagazine Europe: The Transatlantic Broadcast 📡
Where #cybersecurity #technology, and #society meet — across borders and perspectives.

Your Hosts:
🎙️ Marco Ciappelli (Florence/Los Angeles) - Political Science, Sociology of Communication
🎙️ Sean Martin, CISSP (New York City) - Cybersecurity Analysis & Editorial Leadership
🎙️ Rob Black (London) - UK Cyber Citizen 2024, International Relations

Our Pilot Episode:
Broadcasting from Los Angeles and UK, Rob and I get the waves up in the air!

The Transatlantic Broadcast is the flagship podcast of ITSPmagazine Europe — a new editorial initiative dedicated to cybersecurity, technology, and society through a distinctly European lens.

Recorded between Florence, London, Los Angeles, NYC and beyond — the show explores the stories, policies, and people shaping digital life across Europe. With our rotating host format and guests from academia, public policy, private sector, and civil society, we highlight European perspectives while drawing occasional comparisons to developments in the U.S. and beyond.

What we're exploring in this pilot:
The Birth of a Transatlantic Conversation
European Approaches to Digital Transformation
The Sociological Lens We're Missing
Building Bridges, Not Walls
Cross-Border Collaboration for a Global Digital Future

This isn't just another hashtag#tech podcast. We're creating space for European voices to explain their approaches in their own terms—not as responses to American innovation, but as distinct philosophical and practical approaches to technology's role in democratic society.

📎 Meet my new profile icon: Clippy the Paperclip! 🖇️✨

You might recognize this little guy from the ‘90s, but Clippy’s back—and this time, he’s a symbol of resistance! 🛠️💙 Inspired by Louis Rossmann, Clippy has become the mascot of a growing digital rebellion against Big Tech’s planned obsolescence, surveillance, and the "shitification" of everything we love. He’s here to remind us that tech should serve people, not the other way around.

I personalized mine with a blue beret. That’s my little wink to Blue Beanie Day—and web accessibility—to make the internet work for everyone. (Because yes, even the revolution needs to be inclusive! 😉)

P.S. If anyone knows how to add alt text to profile pics, let me know—I’d love to have an image description in my profile!

🇪🇺 Europe’s future AI rules are at stake!

30 MEPs demand a clear, strict #OpenSourceAI definition to stop Meta’s “open” Llama models from exploiting loopholes. Will the EU defend openness or let #BigTech rewrite the rules? 🕵🏼
