There is absolutely no reason for the European Union and NATO to behave like we are hostage to the policy choices and objectives of the United States on matters of international affairs, in particular, on Russia's war and genocide against Ukraine. We're not slaves or pawns to Washington. 1/8

Eyad Elyan, a Palestinian academic at Scotland’s Robert Gordon University specializing in AI and 3D modeling: “What is especially troubling, however, is how such fabricated content is uncritically accepted and amplified by mainstream media outlets.”

“Het is jammer dat politici blijven geloven in een vorm van magisch denken, waarbij ze ervan uitgaan dat je een achterdeur (in software, SE) kunt creëren waar alleen de goeden toegang toe hebben”, aldus Whittaker. www.demorgen.be/nieuws/whats...

My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/what-to-ex...

We urge world leaders gathering at the UN General Assembly to end the genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza. Our staff in Gaza are doing all they can to save lives while weapons of war continue to maim and kill Palestinians. Doctors can’t stop this genocide. World leaders can.

It went from "they came for the comedians" to "they came for the reporters" in 24 hours.

Happy International Women in Cyber Day!

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.

These days are decisive not just for Ukraine. They will decide the future of Europe. The fact that many European leaders are going to Washington together with President Zelenskyy shows that they are very well aware of this. Their quick reaction is an unprecedented phenomenon and a great hope⤵️

In Jordan alone, the total stock of humanitarian aid amounts to: ➡️ 165 trucks of food items ➡️ 744 trucks of non-food items: hygiene supplies, cleaning supplies, clean water kits ➡️ 45 trucks of medicines and medical supplies Let UNRWA bring this aid into #Gaza and distribute it to the people in need

“Garber, in a conversation with one faculty member, said that the suggestion that Harvard was open to paying $500 million is ‘false’ and claimed that the figure was apparently leaked to the press by White House officials...” www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

“The causes of NSD are not yet fully understood. Some people blame environmental factors, or a lack of vaccines, but we do know that genetics play an important part. This means that if you have neurotypical family members, that does place your child at increased risk.”

Reasonable people can disagree about the best ways to achieve Jewish safety, self-determination, or liberation. Absolutely no one can justify the mass starvation of children and violent enforcement of statelessness upon another people.

Food and clean water are not political weapons. They are a basic human right. Netanyahu’s indifference to civilian suffering is indefensible. The blockade starving Gaza’s children must end - humanity demands it. 🇵🇸 #3E #EndImpunity

Safety matters—but so do privacy, access to information, and the fundamental rights of all users. Online safety for young people must not come at the expense of rights. Read our recent submission to the European Commission here.

Europese NAVO-landen zijn nog niet klaar voor een grootschalig conflict – niet op het fysieke slagveld, en zeker niet op digitaal gebied, zei defensiestrateeg Koen Gijsbers tijdens zijn keynote op het HCSS evenement "From Cloud to Community".

Another banger of a protest sign.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

Many companies and individuals are trying to mislead people about the future of GrapheneOS to promote their insecure products and services. GrapheneOS is not going anywhere. We've made it clear we're shipping Android 16 soon and that the supported devices will remain supported.

Would anyone with a familiarity with R be interested in coming on and helping to maintain the script that scrapes the Oryx website and tabulates data about Russian and Ukrainian materiel losses? I pay little attention to it but folks use it, and I don’t give it them time it deserves.

You can’t scan private messages before they’re encrypted without destroying end-to-end encryption. The EU’s new “encryption roadmap” gets that wrong.

Never change, Penzeys

A thing about growing up poor, or even middle class in America, is that there comes a time when you look back on bad memories or traumatic experiences you saw and realize how many of them had something to do with a lack of money

End-to-end encryption is a great way to protect the privacy of your conversations, but how (or if) those chats are backed up matters too.

"Warum trägst du zur Trauerfeier keinen schwarzen Anzug ??"

As for the industry, it often casts itself as fighting to defend democracy from election hackers & foreign disinfo. Surely punishing Krebs for defending the truth about America's elections - and punishing @sentinelone.com for the 'offense' of having hired him - would draw public indignation, right?

Finally, I should call out the ONE organization we found that did express support for Krebs & @sentinelone.com, the Cyber Threat Alliance. Here's what their president, Michael Daniel, told @ajvicens.bsky.social:

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
