Is Bluesky open enough to fill the dream and promise? @jeffjarvis.bsky.social says not yet.
Journalist and author @jeffjarvis.bsky.social says Bluesky isn’t yet as open as it should be to ensure true user freedom.

Germany decided not to turn its back on privacy, at the last minute. We're very happy for that.

But we're not out of the woods yet, and awareness raising like this is essential.

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and its state counterparts are very broad, tempting police and prosecutors to throw infractions at “any kind of behavior that’s objectionable in some way using a computer,” EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @theintercept.com.

This win shows the scope of the NLRA goes beyond unions.
