if i were in the #Romanian government right now, i would propose lending the city of #Milan our *esteemed* police force, the one that captured *record* quantities of illegal drugs in the last couple of years
(same police that confiscated 0 grams of drugs in the Constanța port, but are hyper-capable of finding half a gram in someone's backpack)
this way, the Winter Olympics would be secured by a professionalized force and ICE never need to set foot in Europe. everyone wins.

@edri has published their position on the now-published, no-long-a-leak Digital Omnibus proposal: https://edri.org/our-work/commissions-digital-omnibus-is-a-major-rollback-of-eu-digital-protections/
i wrote up the stance we take at @apti in #Romanian: https://apti.ro/content/GDPR-facut-ferfenita-sub-numele-digital-omnibus
whichever you read and share, the message is the same: the Digital Omnibus amounts to deregulation and a love letter addressed to Big Tech. it risks dismantling the hard-won system that kept our personal data safe, in the EU.

The #Romanian Senate voted on the Online Coming of Age Law, which would, in effect, mandate that all people who wish to use online services or browse websites identify themselves in order to validate their age.
This will clash with the fundamental rights of all people, and especially those of the children and teens that they pretend they want to protect.
We ask the second chamber to reject this proposal.

This is #Romanian #comedian#VictorPatrascan
He is doing a set in #Iceland, and he encounters a brainwashed #vatnik heckler, also from #Romania, and...
😆
Why do people think they can heckle comedians? Their entire job is wit
