📣 We are proposing a reduction of 90% to the EU's emissions by 2040, a significant milestone on our road to net zero by 2050.

By setting this target, we want to:
🔹 Ensure certainty for investors
🔹 Guarantee energy security and resilience
🔹 Create more jobs
🔹 Drive innovation, prosperity, and competitiveness

Europeans want strong climate action. We are responding to this call.

For a European green transition that is clean, competitive, and fair for all!

@EUCommission #europeans don’t want #chatcontrol #css stop the insanity. Support for #eu #europe will disappear, also the support for #ukraine. You criminalize people who ask why are we letting people die of hunger in #gaza. And accuse people of anti-semitism if talking about the atrocities of #israel You are on the wrong side of history.

@9to5Mac now this would be a reason to change to GrapheneOS. Even if on-device, Apple has no right to scan and censure anything, unless activated - AI is never just on-device and we've had this subject before.

Another reason not to upgrade to iPhone 17 too, as Apple cultivates unpredictable policies - one might just end up with a piece of scrap-metal in your hands overnight.

🇬🇧🚨 Under Danish leadership, #ChatControl is to be adopted as early as October 14! https://www.parlament.gv.at/dokument/XXVIII/EU/26599/imfname_11492795.pdf (p. 31)

The decisive factor is Germany: neither Conservatives nor Socialists have yet declared digital privacy of correspondence and secure encryption to be a red line.

🇬🇧On the very first day of its EU Council Presidency, Denmark presented a text proposal on #chatcontrol - content not disclosed, but Denmark is a radical supporter. https://www.parlament.gv.at/gegenstand/XXVIII/EU/26877

Planned adoption: October 14.

@echo_pbreyer I somehow cannot look at SPD being translated as Socialists even though the S in their name sort of suggests that.
To readers not familiar with German politics: They are a center-left party and given their domestic politics from the last few years i wouldnt be surprised to see them actively supporting #chatcontrol. The Green and Left parties in our parliament would oppose it but are not part of the government coalition and even combined with SPD they wouldnt have a majority

🇩🇰🇪🇺 Denmark’s EU Council Presidency begins – the first brick snapped in.

From its first Presidency in 1973 to now, Denmark is back for the eighth time in the lead with an agenda focused on two key priorities:

🔴 A safer Europe
⚪ A greener and stronger Europe

We are ready to work closely to deliver on them over the next 6 months.

Snap. Click. Build.

God arbejdslyst, Danmark!

@EUCommission

Where "safer" does not actually mean "safer", but unfree.

EU citizens say NO to #Chatcontrol. Digital totalitarianism will NOT make us "safe".

Sinaloa cartel used phone data and surveillance cameras to find FBI informants

A hacker working for the Sinaloa drug cartel was able to obtain an FBI official's phone records and use Mexico City's surveillance cameras to help track and kill the agency's informants in 2018, the U.S. Justice Department said in a report

#Surveillance is a very bad idea. No matter if by cameras or #ChatControl . The bad guys will also get access.
