👀 Praxis is a Thiel-backed “network state” project that aims to build its OWN COUNTRY. In Nov, Praxis founder Dryden Brown wrote about wanting Greenland 4 Praxis. In Dec, Trump named Thiel partner Ken Howery as ambassador to Denmark & said the US shld buy Greenland. Praxis & Dryden are thrilled...1/

Larry Ellison will own a part of TikTok alongside the Chinese. Great job @schumer.senate.gov and team, you really solved the social media propaganda and privacy threat

Grote techbedrijven als Google, Meta en X hebben de informatievoorziening ‘helemaal in hun greep’. Daar maakt Nienke Venema, directeur van Stichting Democratie en Media, zich grote zorgen om. Ze roept het nieuwe kabinet daarom op om de Nederlandse media te beschermen – ook in Brussel.

Deregulering en liberalisering onder de dekmantel vd dreiging van andere mogendheden. Belangrijke waarschuwing @volkskrant.nl: we gooien verworvenheden in rap tempo weg, uit angst positie te verliezen. Angst geen goede raadgever, tijd voor eigen Europees verhaal 👇🏼 www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/b...

Denmark’s military intelligence service has for the first time classified the US as a security risk, a striking shift in how one of Washington’s closest European allies assesses the transatlantic relationship.

At this point AI expansion and fossil fuel growth are basically the same thing. And Charles Koch's political network is working with the Trump administration to shape the strategy. Read more at @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/12/11/t...

It’s actually awful to pretend to bereaved parents and to worried parents that this “ban” will stop cyber bullying. As this article suggests, it won’t at all, and could just make it less easy to find and manage. You don’t fix a social problem with a (badly designed) tech fix.

From SEMIC 2025 in Copenhagen, one message stood out: Without interoperability there is no real digital sovereignty for Europe. Interoperable IT solutions are essential to support flexible supply chains giving real and independent choices to European businesses and citizens Read more tiny.cc/EUSEMIC

"EU can't compete with US tech ON THEIR TERMS." Weakening digital regulation in EU will NOT create a level playing field, @ec.europa.eu. It will just allow US tech to sweep European tech off the field.

Europa zet eerste stap op weg naar digitale onafhankelijkheid

"Ik heb liever dat ambtenaren zich richten op het oplossen van de toeslagenaffaire" Bontebal vergeet hier dat de Toeslagenaffaire notabene deels door de Woo aan het licht is gekomen. Zeee zorgwekkend signaal dat de beoogd premier de Woo "een doorn in het oog" noemt.

New scathing report from the UN shows that AI technology and reduced social media safety features have dramatically increased online harassment and violence directed towards women. It's also making journalists and activists lives much harder

Meanwhile, Ctrl+Alt+Reclaim is just getting started. Other discussions on the table include campaigning for an EU-funded social media platform, an alternative to the big tech oligopoly, created by and for the public. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/d...

“Onze geschiedenis heeft ons geleerd dat er geen vrijheid van meningsuiting is zonder vrijheid van informatie (…) en er zal geen vrijheid van meningsuiting zijn als de informatievrijheid van burgers wordt opgeofferd om de tech-oligarchen in de Verenigde Staten te verdedigen." #Costa

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) announced that it will no longer publish content on Elon Musk’s platform, X. The organization said it can “no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda.”

More than 1000 French academics from universities countrywide have signed a manifesto declaring their conscientious objection to the deployment of degenerative AI in their institutions. #ResistAI ✊🏽

HEY FRIENDS!! Did you know that Australia - #2 in the world for data centre investment - is now formally missing its climate targets thanks in large part to the resulting surge in power demand? It's massive news - @crikey.com.au let me NERD OUT to explain why: www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/04/d...

I honestly don't think anyone still contributing free time and effort to Elon Musk has any sense of self interest or any reasonable, logical way they can be reached. All we can do is support regulation and try to build up alternatives as much as possible. Those left there are unconvincable

Tata Steel heeft méér zeer zorgwekkende stoffen uitgestoten dan opgegeven - en daarmee onze gezondheid op het spel gezet. Samen met @greenpeacenl doen we vandaag aangifte. We pikken dit niet langer. Meer info: frissewind.nu/articles/aangifte-emjv

- De Trump-regering scherpt de screening van H-1B-visumaanvragers aan en laat consulair personeel cv's en LinkedIn-profielen controleren op betrokkenheid bij censuur of desinformatie.

"Datacentre power demand in Australia could triple in five years and is forecast to exceed by 2030 the energy used by electric vehicles." Another reason to detest AI. It gobbles up power and water, and pushes up power prices for everyone. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“The deskilling, denigration, and displacement of teachers and scholars have historically been central to fascist takeovers, since educators serve as bulwarks against propaganda, anti-intellectualism, and illiteracy.” — @olivia.science www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/a...

Deskilling happens incredibly fast, and re-learning lost skills is hard!

Ik kan hier zo moe van worden. Brief over het uploaden van de belastingdienst email naar VS servers, "het risico van de CLOUD-act is klein". De VS overheid gebruikt FISA 702 en EO 12333 om andere overheden af te luisteren. En dat weten ze best in Den Haag. Maar slaap zacht over de CLOUD act!

“Generative AI is genuinely useful in some contexts, profoundly useless in others, & decidedly unproven in most,” @katie-drummond.bsky.social writes, offering a reality check on how to think about the technology. “It is situationally dependent. It is not a monolith.” www.wired.com/story/ai-jou...

Europa moet zich economisch niet meer meten aan de Verenigde Staten. Die kiezen onder Trump voor een economisch model dat op korte termijn productiever is maar niet per se meer welvaart oplevert, schrijft Marike Stellinga.
