Le cas du juge Nicolas Guillou de la #CourPénaleInternationale est particulièrement frappant.

En vassalisant notre espace numérique, les US ont acquis le pouvoir de mettre à genou n'importe quel citoyen européen, en décidant de le mettre sous sanction.
Terrifiant.

One more point actually, about Belgium.
The Belgian authorities have indicated that they were vulnerable to Russian bullying. PM Bart De Wever has been commendably transparent that Putin's direct threats were among his motivations to oppose the Commission's proposal for a Reparations Loan. (1/2)

A few quick thoughts about this morning's decision. Don't believe the spin from various Russians & others: it's a big deal. The EU has now unambiguously demonstrated that it is able and willing to provide the external financial support Ukraine needs, for as long and as much as it takes. (1/N)

Some economists claim “affordability” problems are a myth.
Their reports miss that return to office is basically a 10% cut in our hourly wages. And the resulting traffic hits everyone.

Don't let anyone tell you that the Commission's DSA enforcement against X is about speech or censorship.
That would, indeed, be interesting. But this is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring laws that would get bipartisan support in the U.S. (I bet similar bills *have* had that support.) 1/

I must admit I've just recently found about last two. I think opensource projects should really go with diversification.

Until now, Belgians could only access government sites using Itsme or an ID card reader. MyGov.be, a new digital identity app lets citizens log in securely to government platforms such as Tax-on-Web, My Pension, and My eBox.
