Today at 12:30, European Parliament will vote whether or not to extend the existing temporary derogation which allows voluntary chatcontrol: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/agenda/weekly-agenda/2026-11#agenda-day20260311:~:text=Proposal%20for%20a%20regulation%20of%20the%20European%20Parliament%20and%20of%20the%20Council%20amending%20Regulation%20%28EU%29%202021%2F1232%20as%20regards%20the%20extension%20of%20its%20period%20of%20application

The LIBE committee decided to reject the proposal due to disagreements https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-10-2026-0040_EN.html , but a few days later fractions representing around 397/720 MEPs agreed on changes: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/seance_pleniere/textes_deposes/prop_resolution/2026/0040/amendements/P10_AMA(2026)0040(001-003)_EN.pdf so the extension will likely pass.

Hundreds of scientists say stop! ✋🚨

Governments should pause plans for mandatory #AgeChecks on online services until serious #privacy and #security concerns are addressed.

As countries push to ban children from social media, the risk to everyone’s privacy is growing. 🔐🌍

hot take: @protonprivacy didn’t fail you. YOUR OPSEC failed you.

encryption ≠ anonymity. these are not the same thing and never have been.

Proton did exactly what they said they’d do - encrypted your emails and complied with lawful Swiss legal orders. that’s the whole deal. that’s what you signed up for.

the credit card you used to pay for your “anonymous” account was never part of the encryption. that was always traceable. that was always a liability.

and here’s the kicker - Proton literally accepts Monero and cash. they gave you the tools. you chose the Visa.

🚨Google wants to kill Android freedom

We've signed an Open Letter to urge #Google to keep #Android #free & #open!

Otherwise Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

Advance, the company that controls Reddit, would be wise to replace the CEO whose mismanagement and arrogance has led moderators of thousands of subreddits to go private in protest.

Put someone in place who realizes that the communities made the service in every way that matters.

Maybe Advance is hoping the protestors will go weak-kneed (as so many people on Twitter have done, sadly) and return.

Moderators, please, please don't back down on this. Stay dark.

(Corrected re extent of strike..)
