It’s interesting how many people think wanting privacy means you’re doing something nefarious. The fact is, privacy is about sharing what you want with whom you choose.

“EU Revives Plan for Year-Long Data Retention Across Digital Services, Including Encrypted Apps … Officials insist they do not intend to compromise encryption or read private messages. What they want is the so-called metadata: who contacted whom, from where, at what time, and through which service.” – https://reclaimthenet.org/eu-revives-plan-for-year-long-data-retention (via @fkamiah17)
“As NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker has said, ‘metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life. If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content.’ When I quoted Baker at a recent debate at Johns Hopkins University, my opponent, General Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and the CIA, called Baker’s comment ‘absolutely correct,’ and raised him one, asserting, ‘We kill people based on metadata.’” – https://cyber-peace.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/We-Kill-People-Based-on-Metadata.pdf

Your wallet matters. So does our planet.
The EU has set measures to save energy and cut gas and electricity bills:
👉 11.7% less energy use in EU by 2030 from 2020 projections
👉 Priority upgrades for households struggling with high energy costs and energy poverty
👉 One-Stop Shops in all EU countries to help renovate homes, lower heating and cooling expenses
By now, all EU countries must have implemented them.
The payoff? €1 spent on energy savings returns €12.
@EUCommission #StopChatControl to preserve freedom of speech and democracy.
We are in a democratic europe. Not a dictatorial Europe.

#CBS caved to #Trump—now he’s seeking punishments for #ABC and #NBC
Trump says ABC and NBC "give me 97% BAD STORIES," urges #FCC to revoke licenses.
Jon Brodkin – Aug 25, 2025
"Fresh off his thorough victory over CBS News, President Trump is taking aim at ABC and NBC.
" 'Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, aren't paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES,' Trump wrote on Truth Social last night. "They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked ' #journalism' should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!'
"While Trump's many threats to revoke broadcaster licenses have never led to any actual license revocations, the CBS developments show how he can use the government to influence operations at news organizations. CBS owner #Paramount recently inked a $16 million settlement with Trump and then agreed to install a '#BiasMonitor' in order to gain Federal Communications Commission [#FCC] approval of an $8 billion merger with #Skydance. Now Trump is turning his attention to ABC and NBC."

Some may think science-fiction conventions are all about flights of fancy - but a lot of serious subjects were addressed at #Seattle#Worldcon 2025. Here's a story recapping what futurists and authors had to say about the past, present and future of #surveillance. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/08/18/how-watching-the-watchers-could-help-stop-big-brother/#Tech#BigBrother#ScienceFiction
