Dieser Mann soll von der Leyens Nachfolger an der EU-Spitze werden
Eine Vetternwirtschaft-Affäre bringt das Faß zum Überlaufen. Immer mehr Staaten und Parteien wollen EU-Chefin von der Leyen nach der Europawahl loswerden. Kontakte mit Nachfolgern gibt es bereits.Online Redaktion (JUNGE FREIHEIT)
Die @EU_Commission gibt @Mastodon und @peertube auf, weil @EDPS keine Agentur innerhalb der Kommission finden konnte, die es weiter betreibt.
Ein Kniefall vor den Überwachungsplattformen wie Instagram, Facebook, TikTok und Co. Digitale Souveränität am Arsch. Das ist so frustrierend. 😔
EDPS decentralised social media pilot: the end of a successful story
Two years ago, the EDPS embarked on a pioneering journey to launch two social media platforms, EU Voice and EU Video. The pilot project has proved successful in delivering alternative, privacy-friendly and user-focused social media platforms.European Data Protection Supervisor
So what do we need, ideally? The equivalent of VC but for tech for the common good.
Pick ten organisations working the common good and give them €5M each. Let them experiment. Let them pivot. Let them cooperate. The only thing you don’t let them do is exit. You can’t sell. Build something for the commons that will live on for the next ten, twenty, fifty years… if not more.
I said as much 5 years ago at the European Parliament:

The Future of Internet Regulation at the European Parliament
A brief write-up of my talk at the EU Parliament last week with embedded videos of my talk and a link to my slides.Aral Balkan
To all reading this:
Don't just complain. Write your local EU parlamentarian and ask, if (s)he could intervene on behalf of the #EU #Fediverse presence. Especially with the upcoming elections, this will have at least some impact.
By the way:
A classic letter - yes, written on dead tree - has more impact than just an email. Keep it polite and explain your personal motivation to write.
This is one of your rights as a citizen in a #democracy. Write your parlimentarians!
Mastodon und Peertube: EU macht Fediverse dicht, weil niemand die Server betreiben will
EU-Institutionen sind auf Mastodon und Peertube aktiv, dank eines Pilotprojekts des Europäischen Datenschutzbeauftragten.netzpolitik.org
"... weil sich keine der mehr als 40 Organe, Einrichtungen und Agenturen in der ganzen #EU findet, die 2 Server dauerhaft betreiben + moderieren will.
Dabei hält sich der Aufwand dafür in Grenzen – und von einem Staatenverbund mit einem Jahresbudget von mehr als 180 Milliarden Euro sollte er auch zu bewältigen sein...."
Wo kein Wille ist, ist eben auch kein Weg... 😢

“…the EDPS regards the pilot project as a great success. It has proven that public institutions such as EU institutions can offer social media platforms that respect the fundamental rights of the individual. They are thus an alternative to the usual platforms that belong to a handful of large players … Or not - because none of the more than 40 bodies, institutions and agencies throughout the EU can be found that want to operate and moderate two servers permanently.”
EU leaving Fediverse (Mastodon & PeerTube) because no one wants to operate the servers
“In recent years, a total of 40 institutions have opened an account with EU Voice, including the EU Data Protection Supervisor, the European Court of Justice and the EU Commission. The video platform, on the other hand, was used by six institutions … the EU institutions were thus the largest group of public institutions in the Fediverse worldwide.”

#Russia has warned #Kazakhstan its oil transit to #Germany could stop in June due to a payment impasse in a stark reminder of the landlocked country's reliance on Russia for its exports, sources said. The warning from state-controlled pipeline operator #Transneft is a reminder of Kazakhstan's exports fragility with most of its flow of 1.5 million barrels per day or 1.5% of global supply going via various Russian pipelines.
“Europe is mortal. It can die,” French President Emmanuel Macron warned in a Paris speech, urging the European Union to become more self-sufficient in a rapidly changing world. “The era when the EU bought its energy and fertilizer from Russia, outsourced its production to China and depended on the US for its security — that era is over,” he said. Macron struck a much more urgent and alarmist tone than a more optimistic 2017 speech he gave about similar issues facing the continent. The BBC has more about his warnings and how they connect to upcoming elections.

#Ukraine's planned accession to the #EU may require a 20% increase in the EU budget. Such an increase will be necessary if the existing rules for agricultural aid and structural support within the EU remain in place, said to European Commissioner for Budget Johannes #Hahn.
“It sounds gigantic, but it corresponds to only 0.2% of European economic output, and it is certainly doable. It's a worthwhile investment because Ukraine has enormous economic potential,”

Ukrainian pilots made a spontaneous landing in the middle of a field near a young boy proudly waving the Ukrainian flag upon their return from a mission. The boy, who regularly greeted them with the national flag as they flew overhead, received a surprise when the airmen landed to deliver him candies, gifts, and heartfelt greetings.

There's actually a strongly worded clause in the Treaty of Lisbon, §42.7:
"If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter."

Actually, US taxlaw isn't that peculiar in this aspect. Other countries have similar provisions. Why should criminal commercial activity be tax-free? OFC not. The criminal penalties come on top. 👍
In countries (e.g.those of the #EU) that have a value-added tax, the surcharge is even nicer (on top):
the gross turnover is divided by somwhere b/w 105-130%. The difference b/w the gross turnover and that value constitutes the VAT =100% additional tax. 😀

It would be neat if the #EU supported local communities such as small towns, counties, etc., to stand up their #fediverse instances, on which the local population could self-organize.
It has been shown, that a loosely connected network of networks is more beneficial than trying to connect every people on the same platform as in centralized social networks.
We need to transform the citizens of the EU into digital Europeans, not exploitees of American megacorporations.

The EU stands up for the ocean.
At the Our Ocean Conference in Greece, we committed to 40 actions to protect the ocean and promote ocean #sustainability in 2024.
To turn them into reality, we will use €3.5 billion of EU funds - the biggest amount committed since the start of the Our Ocean Conference in 2014.
We will act in key areas, such as:
🔹 Sustainable fisheries
🔹 Marine protected areas
🔹 Ocean and climate change
🔹 Sustainable blue economies
🔹 Research

"Since then, some state agencies have made prescribed burning a part of their land and wildfire management strategies."
