“Every day, Trump proves to the world that American tech isn't merely untrustworthy – it's a live, dire, urgent danger to your state, your companies, and your people. The best time to get shut of the American internet was 15 years ago. The second best time is right fucking now.” @pluralistic

"If Trump wants to steal Greenland, he doesn't need tanks or missiles. He can just tell Microsoft and Oracle to brick the entire Danish state and all of its key firms, blocking their access to their email archives, files, databases, and other key administrative tools."

I can't say this often enough these days: Our dependence on US-controlled tech (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Meta), at all levels of society, is a massive security risk and a tool of coercion that must be addressed urgently. #Privacy #Security #DigitalFreedom #ThinkOpen

🚨Chat Control 1.0 is dead. Holding each MP transparently responsible works!

We've signed an open letter by @fightforthefuture.org calling on Meta to keep encryption on Instagram available. 🔒

Why? Lots of activists use social media - and in times like these they need #privacy more than ever!

If Meta does not change its mind, your DMs will be open starting on May 8! 💡 Switch to #Instagram alternatives now: https://tuta.com/blog/instagram-alternative

“*This* is a problem we can solve with policy! We can mandate that platforms support interoperability, so that when you leave a legacy platform like Twitter or Facebook for a modern platform like Mastodon or Bluesky, the messages addressed to you on the legacy platform are forwarded” @pluralistic
