Positive News: France has announced its plan to ditch Windows & switch to Linux for government desktops. 🥳 🇫🇷

Not only that, but they have also moved 80, 000 National Health Insurance Fund Employees to open source alternatives replacing U.S owned Big Tech platforms like Microsoft Teams & Zoom.

It’s amazing to see the country take action, push for real digital sovereignty, & opt for open source solutions! 👏

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen over the last weeks and months antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Our age verification resource hub will answer all your questions about the dangerous new age-gating mandates sweeping the US and the world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/age-verification-coming-internet-we-built-you-resource-hub-fight-back

Age Verification Is Coming For the Internet. We Built You a Resource Hub to Fight Back.

Age verification laws are proliferating fast across the United States and around the world, creating a dangerous and confusing tangle of rules about what we’re all allowed to see and do online. That's why today, we're launching EFF.org/Age, a one-stop shop for users seeking to understand what these laws actually do, what’s at stake, why EFF opposes all forms of age verification, how to protect yourself, and how to join the fight for a free, open, private, and yes—safe—internet.

Überall lese ich Initiativen von US Konzernen los zu kommen, aus Österreich bis jetzt relativ wenig. Glaube beim Bundesheer was gelesen zu haben (LibreOffice und Linux), aber Bund, Länder oder Gemeinden hab keine ich entweder übersehen oder es gibt noch nichts. Auch keine Petitionen gefunden.

Dabei schauen die Beispiele aus Schleswig-Holstein richtig vielversprechend aus, endlich mal professionell unterstütztes Opensource zu haben.

Kennt jemand mehr oder weiß wer hier daran arbeitet?
