If you have not seen it yet, please check out this (devastating) security and privacy review of the European Age Verification app. The app is well-intended, but its implementation is deeply flawed.

At the end of the review there is a comparison with the Yivi app, which does things right, see:

Useful information for decision makers with ambitions about age verification for social media, e.g. in NL: @stasdigi

If the European Age Verification app launches today, it will be broken tomorrow | Yivi docs

A security analysis of the EU Age Verification Wallet reveals a privacy-first design with a critical trust gap that undermines its security guarantees.

🚨No Joke: Conservatives in the EU Parliament (EPP) want the vote on #ChatControl 1.0 to be repeated this Thursday - even though the Parliament already voted NO! 😡

Chairman Jordan Probes EU Bureaucrats Hiding Efforts to Censor American Speech

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent letters to ten technology companies—including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Reddit, Rumble, TikTok, and xAI—reiterating that the Committee's document subpoenas require the companies to produce communications with foreign censors, including the European Commission and European Union (

Als de coalitie hier dinsdag tegen stemt is het overigens wel over met de digitale soevereiniteitsambities van deze regering. Deze verkeerde beslissing is nog niet uitgevoerd en kan eenvoudig teruggedraaid worden. Als je dit al niet wil doen, dan ga je ingrijpendere soevereiniteitsmaatregelen ook zeker niet nemen. [Update: er wordt niet gestemd...]

Four days at MWC Barcelona. The show has exceeded all our expectations.

Two weeks ago we were in hackdays. This week we showed devices at world premiere with new software arriving from our Tampere team every single morning, flashed fresh each day.

The full story is in this fortnight's community newsletter. Worth a read. 👇

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this. Keep sailing. ⛵

🎉 Big Tech alternatives are finally getting mainstream media attention! 🎉

Yesterday, The Guardian published a piece on how people and organizations can leave Big Tech behind and choose ethical, privacy-focused alternatives, a topic we’ve been passionate about at Tuta for a long time. 🙌🔐

Thank-you to Steve Rose for mentioning Tuta. It’s great to see privacy-first solutions getting recognition. 🙏

Ok mensen, dit bericht is even belangrijk. Veel tegengas geven. Hier gaan letterlijk levens vanaf hangen.

Vertel NL overheid dat BSN (+BRP-adres) aan alleen banken geven (om welke reden dan ook) een slecht idee is.

En alle privacy ridders - denk even aan Jan Holvast - dit is het moment om echt even gas te geven en dit bericht breed te verspreiden. @marleenstikker

Digital Euro

Gives all Europeans access to a digital form of public money — alongside cash — with a generous holding limit, so it can become a credible alternative to private money issued by commercial banks.

Acts as a foundation of a sovereign and resilient European payment infrastructure, following the highest privacy standards.

Do not lower the ambitions of the Digital Euro project under pressure from banks and Big Tech. Ensure it serves people above profits.
