Germany’s industrial output is down 4.3% with the pre-tariff stockpiling in the U.S. ending. Economists warn this "extremely disappointing" data signals a looming recession, proving that Europe's former powerhouse is still running on fumes.

Vermogen EU-miljardairs stijgt met meer dan €400 miljard in de eerste helft van 2025
Toch wordt meer dan 80% van de totale belastinginkomsten in EU-landen door gewone mensen betaald. Bedrijven leveren 9% en belasting op de vermogens van de superrijken slechts 0,4%. Dat staat in het nieuwe rapport van #oxfam “A European Agenda to Tax the Super‑Rich”, dat vandaag wordt gelanceerd aan de vooravond van een belastingdebat in het Europees Parlement op 10 oktober.

#RenewableEnergy overtook #coal as world's leading source of #electricity in first half of #2025 - a historic first.
Electricity demand is growing around world but growth in #solar and #wind was so strong it met 100% of the extra electricity demand, even helping drive a slight decline in coal and gas use.
Developing countries, especially #China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the #US and #EU relied more than before on planet-warming #fossilfuels.

Yesterday we had a great 1st #FediforumEurope day #Fediforum 🚀
I gave an update on recent developments in European states and at #EU level in #policy areas relevant to the #Fediverse & #OSW - for example the 🇪🇺 #DMA consultation.
Also a quick review of #fediplomacy and advocacy events #EUFediverse✨
At @fnf #fnf25 we held 2 specific Fediverse workshops with @digiges @pneutig @resieguen @cypherhippie @eest9 @c3wien and enjoyed a fruitful exchange with Fediverse enthusiasts @FediVariety

Does protecting children justify snooping on private messages? That is the sensitive question facing EU countries Wednesday as they wrangle over a push to combat child sexual abuse material online. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/08/world/politics/eu-child-protection-privacy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #privacy #socialnetworks #apps #signal #whatsapp #privacy #childabuse #eu #europe

Update: In the last few days, there's been a huge mobilisation again #ChatControl, with many individuals and NGOs in the #EU telling their governments they want to protect encryption & reject mass surveillance.
It seems that our voices are being heard: the vote of ministers on 14th Oct has been cancelled! This is democracy in action.
Let's hope EU lawmakers take this opportunity to go back to the drawing board to figure out a plan to tackle CSAM in a way that is legally + technically safe. (8/
- So what can we do? Well, national ministers and MPs really need to hear (ideally before Wednesday 8th) that people across the EU do not support measures that would undermine encryption or amount to mass surveillance - meaning that the Danish proposal must be opposed (https://edri.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/New-DK-Pres-text-3-October-2025.pdf);
- German, French and Italian lawmakers can be contacted easily, thanks to fightchatcontrol.eu;
- I'll share more as it happens! #StopChatControl

Today we are adding our signature (and that of our parent company @xwiki) to a new open letter against the so-called "Chat Control" EU regulation. We thank our friends at @Tutanota, @protonprivacy and @mailfence for writing it.

Noteer al maar: 'de consument is dom'... dat lijken ze te willen zeggen.
Tegenstanders, zoals Volt-Europarlementariër Ana Strolenberg, noemen het besluit onzinnig. "Consumenten begrijpen echt wel dat er in een vegaburger geen vlees zit. Dit verbod zorgt alleen maar voor extra kosten bij producenten", zegt ze. "Wat wordt de volgende motie, een verbod op het woord vleestomaat? De enige die hiermee wint, is de vleeslobby."
