EU’s Digital Sovereignty Push Runs Up Against Budget Cuts for Civil Society

As EU prioritizes digital sovereignty, proposed budget cuts threaten the civil society groups that help enforce the EU’s digital rulebook, writes Mark Scott.

Woest word ik van deze onverschillige, waardeloze roofdieren. Hun harteloze, op geld gerichte machtshonger over de rug van Oekraïense burgers is ver buiten schaamteloos. Er is niks dat ons ervan weerhoudt om los van hen te komen, behalve politiek leiderschap. Een draadje 🧵 1/7

2027: election year during which several EU radical right parties are expected to do well. However, it is clearer by the day how their strategy on key issues, such as NATO and Ukraine, now diverge. Here is Meloni's statement to the Senate today. Gone are the day of 'building bridges' with Trump...

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

Ik werd door een TV programma benaderd om in de studio commentaar te geven, in het bijzonder over een statelijke actor en een eventuele link met een bijeenkomst vandaag. Dat leek me vergezocht; we spraken af dat we niet gaan speculeren en dat ik een andere keer kom praten over hybride oorlog.

Voor iedereen die nu al weet hoe Albert Heijn Delhaize gehackt is, of door wie, als je oplet zie je dat mensen als @huibmodderkolk.bsky.social en @daniel.verlaan.xyz die hier 100 keer meer vanaf weten dat nog niet doen. Dus denk zelf ook even na voor je conclusies trekt.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Germany and the other Northern austerity frugals say the EU budget is "bloated". Here's how that "bloated" 🇪🇺budget compares: Federations: 🇪🇺: 1% of GDP 🇩🇪: 12% 🇺🇸: 24% Unitary states: 🇳🇱: 46% 🇫🇷: 57%

Northern leaders want to cut an EU budget already on a shoestring

EU national leaders keep saying they want a union that “does more.” Then they show up in Brussels asking it to spend less.

Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.

In awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law – national and international – underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. Peace requires justice.

An honour to share my expertise on the EU's preparedness and resilience against hybrid warfare with a group of future crisis managers. They were visiting Brussels for the 'Master of Crisis and Public order Management', on the importance of European collaboration and solidarity in times of crisis.

Of course when Russia said Ukraine had bioweapons labs what they really meant was that they did. There's a lot we don't know about the current situation. Russia should be bringing in experts from the WHO to clarify and advise. Will they? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

U.S. officials seeking details of reported Russian plague death, quarantines

Officials said they need to learn more about the evolving situation before determining the potential threat to the United States.
