I struggle to understand why the EU commission is recommending people to use X. How else should the fact that the X logo is plastered all over their (our) web site be interpreted. It's a deeply irresponsible and harmful use of their power of influence.

After all that's happened and after all the pleading and campaigning by citizens. This is the kind of thing that truly makes you lose faith.

I can't even bring myself to tag them in this post. There's no point anyway.

Nearly half of Europeans would back banning X over EU law breaches

A new YouGov survey across Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Poland shows nearly half of Europeans (47 percent) would back banning social media platform X from the EU if it continues to breach EU rules.

"...The New York Times reported that Meta is considering adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses. According to an internal Meta document, the company may launch the product “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” ..."

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans

Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Attacks against Sanchez like this one are taking up most of the feed that X's algorithm is forcing onto me today, proving Sanchez's point.

I hope it will be adopted EU wide ASAP.

I think it makes sense to let US companies know why we're not considered their offers when approached by their sales people.
I hope more people there will start to understand that their government actions have real consequences for the whole country, whether you voters for them or not.

Please note that the Trump regime continues to flagrantly, illegally withhold the Epstein documents and plainly has no intention of releasing them (at least until the apparatchiks can destroy/doctor the incriminating stuff).
The AI brain drain: Why Europe can’t keep the talent it trains

If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse
