@EUCommission

The EU culture you are actually establishing:

- Mass surveillance ( #ChatControl, #dataretention, #omnibus )

- Threatening the access to free information, communication and journalism ( #ChatControl again)

- Society of digital control in the interest of big tech corporations and authoritarian institutions (#digitalidentity, #europol)

- Drowing people in the mediterranean and letting them suffer and die at EU borders (#Frontex)

- Reckless Militarism, authoritarianism, neonationalism and neoliberalism, normalisation of corruption and lobbyism in and by your postdemocratic institution.

Nope, that's definitely no culture or vision worth to fight for. Quite the opposite actually.

And it sounds like it’s not getting any better… with organisations which overcollect but can’t secure data continuing to do the same… That’s depressing. But as you say, if there are no consequences why bother to improve? 😐
In the meantime, the most secure data is that which is not collected. I know it’s preaching to the converted, but for orgs: if you don’t need it, don’t collect it; or don’t continue to hold it. 😐

📣 Excited to speak at DevDay.be 2025 in my hometown Mons 🇧🇪 on November 13!

🎤 "The Art of Data Retention in PostgreSQL" will show why developers should care about data retention and how it impacts performance, maintenance, and scalability over time.

 I'll be sharing DBA-tested techniques like declarative partitioning, Foreign Data Wrappers, and more.
