Es gibt eine wesentliche Botschaft, die von den Student*innen in #Serbien in den letzten acht Monaten immer wieder kommuniziert und vorgelebt und dadurch zum gesellschaftlichen Kompass wurde: „Niemand ist allein.“ Solidarität ist eine Superkraft demokratischer und der Endgegner autokratischer Kräfte.✊🏻🫶🏻

The attempts by law enforcement & governments to subvert end-to-end encryption are ongoing. The European Commission is going to spend a year thinking about their new "Roadmap for law enforcement access to data", and they are (genuinely) asking for people to join their expert group to help. Here I urge you to join that group (also because I can't): https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/possible-end-to-end-to-end-come-help/
Possible End to End to End Encryption: Come Help - Bert Hubert's writings

tl;dr: The European Commission is honestly asking for experts to advise them on ways to institute “effective and lawful access to data for law enforcement”. If you are an expert, I urge you to apply to join this group. You have until September 1st. Do read on for more details! The never-ending battle where police and intelligence services demand more/total access to communications shows no sign of stopping, even in the face of mathematical and practical impossibilities.

Gerichtspräsident stellt klar: das Abweisen von Flüchtlingen an der dt. Grenze ist EU-rechtswidrig, und das entsprechende Verwaltungsurteil war sehr wohl allgemein bindend. Wie nennt man das, wenn sich Regierende aus ideologischen Interessen über geltendes Recht hinwegsetzen? #Asyl #Rechtssprechung

Quick reminder: Das ist immer noch erst der Anfang. #Hitzewelle #Klimakrise

12 Grad heißer als normal in weiten Teilen Frankreichs.

Manche Städte in Südeuropa werden im Sommer bald unbewohnbar sein.

Halb Europa leidet unter 40 Grad Hitze, Straßen schmelzen, Wälder brennen und genau in dieser schlimmen Lage will die Koalition diese Woche Gasbohrungen vor Borkum erlauben.

#Happy #pride , a very happy #pridemonth to all!

Just make a happy pride year of it!

And be happy - there is just no better way to make your opponents mad

Rights were never claimed by begging but by fighting

And they can be taken from you, if you are not ready for the fight

The poem in the picture refers to #MartinNiemoller 's poem, he was in the #resistance against #fascism part of the #ConfessingChurch

Fight for your rights!

I wish all the best live & the best allies we all can imagine

Is "sovereign washing" the new "privacy washing"?

Microsoft, Google, and AWS recently published “sovereign clouds”.

❌ BUT digital sovereignty doesn’t come from shiny new product names such as these “sovereign clouds” - which still must hand out data to US without a warrant based on the CLOUD Act and FISA.

✅ Digital sovereignty comes from full European legal and technical control. Everything else is nothing more than sovereign washing.
