The European Citizens' Initiative on banning conversion therapy has reached the goal of one million signatures! 🎉 I'm genuinely surprised how much it picked up pace this final week

That doesn't mean you shouldn't still sign it! It'll only be brought to the Commission if it has a million *valid* signatures, and some fraction is always found to be invalid. So let's give it some margin above one million!

Would be nice if you could at least once wake up to no horrible news nowadays.

Twitch are updating their rules & decided that LGBTQ+ is a "Sensitive social issue" & needs to be hidden behind a content warning.

If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*

Attached: 1 image Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it. Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting. If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @[email protected] based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered 'futuristic' in europe) #eu #browser #firefox #meh
