🇪🇺EU governments are removing #chatcontrol from today's COREPER agenda because a majority has not yet been reached. For the reasons, see this leaked cable, especially regarding Spain's demand: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/LEWP-Meeting_12-November-2025.pdf

🇪🇺EU #chatcontrol is NOT defeated yet! In an open letter top scientists warn the new proposal still poses "high risks" with flawed 'voluntary' AI mass scanning & invasive age checks. Italy & Poland have reservations, too […]

🇪🇺✅ SUCCESS: We've prevented mandatory #chatcontrol through the back door!🎉 A big win & THANKS to everyone! 🙏 But ⚠️: Anonymity-breaking age checks & "voluntary" mass scanning are still planned. The fight continues next year! https://chatcontrol.eu

These are some quite heartbreaking stories and, as Holly Greenberry-Pullen comments in the piece, really illustrates the perverse absurdity of deeming trans teens to young to even get blockers but being fine with intersex kids getting horrifically drastic full-on bodily surgery as *toddlers*.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

the EU managed to turn into a far-right superstate by having the right constantly complain about how the EU will turn into a communist superstate if they don't take power

I'm really confused, I've been running through Albania's new gender equality law and I haven't been able to find any clause mandating evil that Balkan legal changes usually have

I feel like the European people do not care enough about ChatControl or even know about it… if feels dystopian. PLEASE educate yourself on it!! At our recent victory we were warned this is not over and it’s not!! STOP CHAT CONTROL!!! Protect privacy of all!!! This is unacceptable behavior!!

they're basically just rewording the old proposal to get it past old politicians better

A government proposal would pave the way to bring criminal charges against LGBT people in Türkiye, one of the most alarming rollbacks of rights in decades. The proposal is a profound violation of human dignity and amounts to state-sanctioned oppression.

“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.” Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

As a pragmatic foreign policy thinker, I think the US should be willing to work with fascists if it advances the national interest. And when I say 'fascists', I mean Danish social democrats.

"The people in the Capitol who are obsessed with which bathrooms we use, what we do in our own homes, and what kind of art we make? The feds who want to strip away retirement benefits from trans Air Force veterans being forcibly removed from their positions? Those are the weirdos."

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Next week, 5 teens from Palestine will head to Panama to compete in one of the world’s largest youth robotics competitions. The goal? To win—and teach STEM to their peers displaced by Israel's war and occupation of Palestine. A special oral history for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/meet-t...

This weekend, the UN Cybercrime Treaty opens for signatures, and the stakes for global digital freedom have never been higher. States must refuse to sign the Convention.

this plus dismissing platner's tattoo illustrates once more why bernie did poorly with people of color — despite his past efforts as a civil rights activist, he is a class reductionist through and through

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

the Platner situation is extra comical knowing Croatia has been a hotbed of fascism for, a while now

I'm begging white people to understand wtf is going on right now. 20 months of genocide, the US on the verge of bombing yet another majority Muslim country. We are sick of it & we're making a point of reposting every anti-war voice, especially if it's a fascist like Tucker, in the hope that you...

and I assure you they'd be US puppets just like last time

I dunno, looks like the Germans had more to do with the Holocaust. Maybe Zionists should’ve ethnically cleansed Bavaria for their nation state instead of Palestine. Dorfen instead of Deir Yassin. Taufkirchen instead of Tantura. Force the displaced into an enclave around Nuremberg and then bomb it.

For @defector.bsky.social, I wrote about the Zionist propaganda film, “October 8,” paranoia, Adolf Eichmann, and why these people are all obsessed with their phones. This was—even leaving content aside—one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life. defector.com/the-paranoid...

The recent LA fires shed light on a troubling practice in California: the use of incarcerated individuals to fight wildfires. This system, which utilizes an exception in the 13th Amendment, raises serious human rights concerns. 🧵⤵️
