I can't stress this point enough: The so-called "international" financial system is a global financial dictatorship controlled by the US.

The #US has sanctioned U.N. Special Rapporteur #FrancescaAlbanese after she warned tech firms about potential complicity in #Gaza.
Palestinian victims and their families deeply value Francesca Albanese’s exceptional courage—history will remember that she stood on the right side of it

A senior EU Minister tells Martin Sandbu (FT) that: 'Europe is not as weak as it behaves'.
It can work through 'pragmatic federalism' (or as through a series of 'coalitions of the willing') on different issues - what used to be regarded as a variable speed EU.
Its need for consensus is also not a weakness but a strength: once agreed all members are behind the policy/actions.
In the new (post 'rupture') international system the EU needs to work with these strengths in mind.

In January 2022 I wrote this article on Crypto. The point was to explain why we have taken a stand against it. For me that stand was really taken 10 years earlier, as friends wanted me to become involved. At the time I read what I could find and concluded that this was all a scam. My opinion has not changed. Over the years it has become clearer for most that it is a scam that not only increases risk for the economy as a whole, increases global warming and electricity prices, it is even being used to undermine our democracy.

La Comissió Europea està provant un sistema de comunicacions intern basat en el protocol open-source Matrix com a alternativa Microsoft Teams, actualment programa hegemònic vinculat a les comunciacions de la comissió.
Matrix és un protocol descentralitzat i de codi obert, que permet desplegaments propis sense dependre d'un proveïdor central. Suporta xat, veu, vídeo i compartició de fitxers amb encriptació punt a punt via l'algoritme Double Ratchet, similar a Signal.

The European Commission finally considering software other than Microsoft Teams for their internal communications ... because using MS Teams in government is like Captain Darling writing letters to his German relative with all the details about their plans, in "Blackadder goes forth".
"The Matrix protocol is being lined up as a sovereign backup to Microsoft Teams"

We've preliminary found that TikTok is in breach of the DSA for its addictive design.
There are important indicators of compulsive use of the app that TikTok has disregarded in its risk assessment.
Key features of the addictive design:
🔹Infinite scroll
🔹Autoplay
🔹Push notifications
🔹Highly personalised recommender system
We consider that TikTok needs to change the basic design of its service.
TikTok can now exercise its right to examine and reply to the finding.
Online platforms have always held all the cards.
The DSA is changing that. One clear set of rules to protect people across the EU.
🔸 It’s about choice. The DSA requires the biggest platforms to offer a feed that isn't based on your personal data.
🔸 It’s about safety. What’s illegal offline should be illegal online.
🔸 It’s about freedom. In Europe, you have the right to challenge content moderation decisions taken by platforms.
An internet that works for people.
I am not an expert on this topic, but it appears that the EU commission is not really doing anything about malfeasance by the US monopolies. Justice delayed is justice denied. The fines are less than their profits. X booted you from advertising, you should have responded by banning them in Europe. You appear feckless.
I am very glad that at least you have a presence on the Fediverse. I hope this feedback does not scare you away.

Bondi previously said the epstein files were being hidden because it is child pornography CSAM.
Today President #Epstein defense attorney admits that the DoJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” all the "CSAM child pornography was excluded" from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
AND ALL OF THE RAPISTS are WALKING FREE.

A huge shout-out to @hpod16 for her fantastic work on the #Fediverse, both on her personal profiles and for the @EUCommission ! In less than a month, she’s gained over 1,000 followers, and her posts are being widely shared. As we've said, when most European politicians join the Fediverse, journalists and citizens will follow.
But how do we convince more politicians to join? We need to persuade them and let them know that *we are already here*.
