Dänemark kapituliert (teilweise) vor dem Widerstand gegen die #Chatkontrolle!
Die Regierung von Dänemark, die aktuell den Vorsitz im Rat der EU hat, erklärt: sie wolle im nächsten Anlauf zur CSA-Verordnung, angesichts der massiven Kritik und gescheiterter Mehrheit, nicht noch einmal die verpflichtenden Regeln zur Chatkontrolle vorschlagen!
Aber Achtung! 🚨 An der freiwilligen Chatkontrolle 1.0 wollen sie festhalten und verlängern.

Insgesamt also gilt mal wieder: wachsam bleiben. Wir haben schon zu viele Manöver und Tricksereien rund um die #Chatkontrolle gesehen.
Trotzdem ist heute ein Grund zu feiern: Aktuell kommen die Pläne zur #Chatkontrolle nicht am öffentlichen Protest dagegen vorbei. Und es beweist: Als Zivilgesellschaft können wir gemeinsam viel erreichen.
#ChatkontrolleSTOPPEN!
@andre_meister berichtet bei @netzpolitik_feed über die gestrige Ankündigung der dänischen Regierung. Er gibt auch weitere Hintergrundinformationen zur freiwilligen #Chatkontrolle 1.0, z.B. dass die EU-Kommission trotz gesetzlicher Pflicht noch keine Daten zur Evaluation der vorübergehenden Ausnahmeregelung vorgelegt hat:

I mentioned to my US Government teacher that I felt bad I haven't read as deeply about Frederick Douglas as some other historical figures so he brought this in today for me to borrow. It's only about 70 pages so I can probably blow through this over the weekend.
Here is a description of the image:
The image shows a top-down view of food arranged on a dark surface. A circular, reddish-brown object, possibly a protein or meat product, is centrally positioned. Around the circular object is a scattering of ingredients, including small, red tomato slices, cubed pieces of what appears to be cheese or another light-colored solid, and small, dark, olive-like objects. Fresh green leaves, possibly basil, are interspersed throughout the arrangement. The dark surface underneath provides contrast to the colorful food items.

Dani Dayan, Westbank settler, was lid van de YESHA (= Judea, Samaria + Gaza) Council sinds 1999 en voorzitter vanaf 2007 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dani_Day…).
De #YESHAcouncil zegt recht te hebben op al het land "from the river to the sea" (meer over deze ultraZionisten in mijn volgende toot, en daarna een AI-rant).
Vandaag zag ik dat Dani Dayan in 2014 (na zijn ontslagname bij YESHA in 2013) een alternatief plan voor de door de VS voorgestelde #TweeStatenOplossing publiceerde in israelnationalnews.com/news/34… (nauwelijks te lezen zonder NoScript of AdBlocker).
In het kort: de hele Westbank zou Israëlisch grondgebied worden. Palestijnen zouden er mogen blijven wonen (en vooral werken), mits zij zich op geen enkele wijze zouden verzetten – te handhaven door meer IDF-soldaten in de regio.
In 2015 weigerde Brazilië hem als ambassadeur (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dani_Day…).
Momenteel is Dani Dayan voorzitter van de IHRA en van Yad Vashem, alsmede vice-voorzitter van Auschwitz. Daarmee is hij een belangrijke en invloedrijke bron van #Hasbara (lees bijv. zijn verklaring onderaan auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw…).

I use it pretty much the same as I do masto... which is to say, not a whole lot, mostly lurking. My posts seem to do better numbers there, but I feel the interactions are more fleeting and less meaningful than what I experience here.

1. Women's soccer stuff - There are some official team accounts, and a lot more people active on the topic. My use of this has dwindled though.
2. Dragon Age game content - Although I've made some fantastic connections on Masto around this topic, there are probably only like 3 people who actively discuss it, and there's a bigger community on BlueSky.
I do use it differently. I use Masto for interaction, BlueSky for consumption.
