📲 The 59 individuals sanctioned by the #EU are just the beginning. The #eurocrats are only getting started with their campaign against internal dissent. Paired with the loss of the #USA as a transatlantic parter, the Eurocrats are cornered. But instead of reversing course and correcting their anti-democratic actions, they are set to crack down even harder on dissent from within 👇🏽

The story: power, truth, and walking the fun path

Our powerlessness feeds our desire to hate. This is not a personal failing - it’s a social design flaw. A social problem built on alienation and distraction will funnel frustration into polarisation. That’s why the controversy-driven algorithms of the #dotcons (corporate social media platforms) are not just annoying, but actively harmful. They feed on our despair, and we, often unknowingly, feed on the drama they serve back to us. It’s a closed loop of spectacle and spite, profitable […]

There is no Fox News in the EU, but there is a channel named Eurosnews. They aren't far-right bigots like Fox, in fact they appear somehow social democrats but really not better.
Each time I watch that ridiculous channel, it only reveals to me how clueless about the European population's needs and wants their ĂĽber-regulationists guests are.

The EU fight against child pornography stokes fears of widespread online surveillance

A controversial regulation arriving before the EU Parliament is being pushed by a network of tech giants and security services, whose interests go far beyond child protection. Its opponents fear it opens up private messages to mass surveillance.

This is a positive story and a strong lesson to learn from the outcome:

https://social.network.europa.eu/about/

https://tube.network.europa.eu/about/instance

As you can see they soon dumped the grassroots crew who made it happen and employed #NGO "experts" on how to run them, this lead to ossification.

The morale of the story, keep the cats onboard, is as much an issue of the "libertarian cats" as it is of the #Eurocrats.

STRONG lesson to learn from this.

EU Voice

EU Voice is the official ActivityPub platform of the EU institutions. With EU Video, it is part of an alternative social media pilot proposed and provided by the European Data Protection Supervisor.

The issue with the #openweb work, the #eurocrats fund is that they can't see the value. All the "standards" come from a #openweb culture. Thinking you can take the standards without the culture is a pointless waste of money and resources, the majority of the clique that run this are not fit for purpose because of this. Ideas for moving on or mediating the damage #NGI
Thus the #openweb tools do not have the control that the #Eurocrats need to move onto our tools and be a part of our community. This is going to lead to a "invisible" fight, as they are increasingly funding development we face a crisis in the #fediverse A Sheldon crises talking the language of our crew.
#EU so what do you think https://pad.public.cat/p/ngi0-ec-activitypub-liaison-presentation-2021-04-19#/14 the draft presentation. This is for an ordnance of #eurocrats feedback please. NOTE this was drafted by cats.

In most #mainstreaming history of the internet/www there are grassroots histories that are missing and its from this grassroots that #activitypub actually comes from. But think for a short presentation for #eurocrats this would be an uncomfortable and confusing storey for the audience. On balance lets keep it #KISS but also not completely “whitewash” this grassroots story out, leave some hints in.
