If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

🚨 Today, the EU Commission will present the #DigitalOmnibus to the European Parliament (EP) for the first time. We urge the EP to oppose any changes that would undermine the fundamental right to privacy.

📰"The announced reform package is here, and the #EU Commission remains on a collision course: instead of simplifying data protection, it is eroding fundamental rights. Instead of helping European companies, it is accommodating #BigTech." (from German)

Digitaler Omnibus: Auf Crash-Kurs mit digitalen Grundrechten
Das angekündigte Reformpaket ist da und die EU-Kommission bleibt auf Konfrontationskurs: Statt den Datenschutz zu vereinfachen, schleift sie Grundrechte. Statt europäischen Unternehmen zu helfen, kommt sie Big Tech entgegen. Ein Kommentar.

I am slowly but surely growing very tired of the multiple attacks on our fundamental rights (which the very same EU protected with the original #GDPR) 😞
Can these politicians stop for a f*cking second trying to screw us all over!?

📰 "With the 'Digital Omnibus', the #Commission claims to reduce burdens and simplify regulation for businesses. However, this premise rests on a misleading assumption: that Europe’s #innovation is being held back by excessive regulation."

Digital Omnibus: When “Simplification” Becomes a Security Risk
Under the banner of “simplification,” the European Commission plans to revise core pieces of digital protection: from data protection to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. What sounds like cutting red tape could, in reality, erode Europe’s digital safeguards. Instead of clarity and strategic direction, fundamental rights, security, and trust risk being sacrificed to a misguided deregulatory logic.

As [extremely!] scary as this all is, this is also proof that these call campaigns matter and are having an effect

I don't have much to give, but I gave a little. I'd urge anyone who uses Blender or is interested in doing 3D modeling for free to donate so that some evil Corp doesn't wind up buying Blender in a fire sale. :P

Twitch is officially releasing age verification in the UK.

Users will need to verify their age using an in-app facial scan; otherwise, they will lose access to watching mature content based on Content Classification Labels (CCLs).
As a UK-based Twitch user, we want to inform you of changes coming to Twitch in order to comply with the UK’s Online Safety Act. Starting today, we are introducing mandatory age verification for users in the UK who want to watch certain types of content on Twitch that may not be suitable for everyone. This change helps ensure that we provide a safe, age-appropriate experience for UK users between the ages of 13 (the minimum age required to use Twitch) and 18.

Important update Thanks to the sheer volume of citizens raising their voices in opposition, the Danish Presidency has been forced to update its Chat Control compromise text to include the following recital:
 "(17a) Nothing in this Regulation should be understood as imposing any detection obligations on providers." 
 The final proposal 15318/25 containing recital 17a is now heading for Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations). Once approved, the position formally adopted by Council will thus exclude mandatory scanning. Council is expected to officially adopt its position the 18th or 19th. We should then expect trilogue to commence. Next steps While this presents a “quick fix” in response to public pressure that legally is not a good solution, it is a much better position than before and one that can be worked with. The multiple flaws and inconsistencies that remain (e.g. mandatory age verification effectively outlawing anonymous communication and planned “voluntary” mass scanning) can be amended during trilogue with the European Parliament. While Danish Minister of Justice and Chief Architect of Chat Control Peter Hummelgaard, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, are likely to attempt an expedited process, a deal is unlikely to be reached in December. They will likely try to complete the deal in Q1 of 2026. As negotiations commence, contact your MEPs and let them know how you would like them to vote and protect your codified rights to privacy.
