#doge is still doing their #digitalCoup, aaand they're sharing their #surveillance spoils with #facebook, #reddit, #pinterest, #google, and multiple ad groups. And to no one's surprise they're doing it all illegally.

Also- more on the shadow websites for federal agencies that are registered to the white house instead of their appropriate departments (theoretically keeping them sealed from the Privacy Act, #foia, etc.)

Given the #DigitalCoup and the urgency to transition to #DigitalAutonomy, we’re building up the https://DemocraticTech.Fund. It is a networked approach, aiming to increase our collective capacity, to discover the tech that is already available to us, to deploy it in ways that we can own it, to share learnings of the transition, to move there together, so we can overcome network effects.

It is our intention to identify together the gaps of what is needed to make the transition, to fund that collectively. This can be tech, media to raise awareness for the positive alternatives already out there, and federating our communities. We’re starting as civil society, and we intent to invite institutions – public and private – to chip in and multiply the contributions. Together we can make the impact that is needed.

In the context of the #DigitalCoup Denmark is working towards #DigitalSovereignty.

Interestingly, they have a Minister for Digitalisation. They start with LibreOffice, "with a full transition to open-source software by the end of the year."

Motivations are (licensing) costs and political tensions, to protect data and reduce reliance on foreign tech.

Of course MS can waive the upcoming licensing costs, and they might return to US tech dependency. But many governments are now making similar, or more audacious transitions.

I wonder why the Danes didn't yet join the EDIC for Digital Commons? There's important shared investments being made, e.g. in collaborative workspaces...
