«The World’s Real ‘Cybercrime’ Problem» | WIRED.
“From US state laws to the international stage, definitions of “#cybercrime” remain vague, broad, and increasingly entrenched in our legal systems.” A big factor is wildly varying definitions of what’s a crime. E.g., Broad views of what’s “terrorism “, “treason”, etc. Are the laws protecting “information spaces” & regimes? Etc.

Good article on European #Rail and how to make it much much better in @informeren based on interview with @jon (In danish, but #DeepL automated translation works well)
Aktivisten Jon Worth har i 2022 kørt Europa tyndt og krydset alle europæiske grænser – med tog. Hans konklusion er deprimerende: Tognettet hænger ofte elendigt sammen. Og trods klimakrisen ser ingen i EU ud til at ændre på det.
