#Palestina Le #università, ricorda il professor Marco Mancini, segretario generale del #MUR, non devono essere "subalterne a influenze di carattere polarizzante". Come interpretare questo monito? Ormai la questione se la terra sia piatta o rotonda è diventata in più di un senso "polarizzante". I corsi di geografia e astronomia dovrebbero lasciare la questione in sospeso, per evitare che si formino *poli*? Qui la risposta di Tomaso Montanari a chi pretende che alle università non si parli di "astronomia" e che un'associazione privata come la Crui si faccia latrice dell'ordine.
Marco Mancini, segretario generale del Ministero dell’Università, ha inviato una lettera ai rettori esortandoli a vigilare affinché gli atenei non siano condizionati da “influenze di carattere polarizzante” — espressione che, tradotta in termini chia…
La Sorbona abbandona i #ranking! I "ranking", per chi avesse la fortuna di ignorarlo, sono classificazioni di università in mano ad aziende a scopo di lucro, che pretendono di fornire dei bollini di qualità, competitiva. La Sorbona non è la prima a fare questa mossa. Ecco un paio di precedenti. Oltre alla scarsa trasparenza, le classifiche universitarie di produzione aziendale hanno due ulteriori e più seri problemi:
perché riconoscere ad aziende private a scopo di lucro la prerogativa di classificare le università?
perché l'insegnamento e la ricerca avrebbero bisogno di essere classificati, come se le università si fossero iscritte a una sorta di campionato con regole semplici e condivise e con arbitri contrattualmente riconosciuti dalle parti?
France’s Sorbonne University plans to leave the Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings, adding its name to a growing number of universities rejecting lists that play one institution off against another.
Quest’anno l’università di Utrecht non offrirà i suoi dati al Times Higher Education (THE) World University Ranking del 2024, escludendosi così da una classifica nella quale occupava il sessantaseiesimo posto. Oltre oceano, le facoltà giuridiche di università famose come Harvard, Stanford, Columbia e Yale hanno fatto qualcosa di simile con U.S. News & […]
Avec @RAPasso on vous invite à notre après-midi de rencontre pour faire bugger la pub ! Nous y animerons un atelier artivisme, moment de créativité pour imaginer comment lutter contre l'envahissement de la publicité et notamment des panneaux numériques dans l'espace public. Nous proposerons aussi un atelier pour apprendre à contribuer à une cartographie géante et partagée des panneaux publicitaires.
Ca commence à 14h le 25/10 au Garage, 115 rue de Ménilmontant à Paris.
Les pubards méritent des zip bombs en boucle sur leurs PC…

pour moi, la pub est de nouveau en plein explosion, mais pas dans la rue. C'est sur les écrans que ça devient dingue ! En quelques années, les "généreux" géants du numérique ont largué la gratuité (la vente de données est plus encadrée ? moins rentable ?) pour nous assommer de pubs (youtube, Facebook, insta, mais aussi Netflix, Prime, Spotify...). C'est infernal et difficile à combattre...
Bjr Ne pourrait on pas attaquer la publicité sur un simple argument légal qui serait :<le harcèlement >. Une publicité qui envahit un espace individuel en se répétant toutes les heures, tous les jours pendant des mois et même des années ne rentre t elle pas dans cette définition.

That’s the case for 🇮🇪 newly appointed Data Protection Commissioner - with Meta on their CV. This raises serious doubts about impartiality and trust in GDPR enforcement.
With 40 CSOs, we’re calling on the European Commission to step up and protect the independence of data protection authorities across Europe.
Because only with truly independent regulators can we have credible rights enforcement.

In the law enforcement context, “data retention” refers to the mandatory retention by providers of electronic communications services (email, private messaging, internet access providers, etc.) of metadata of all their users only for law enforcement purposes. Because it is applied to everyone indiscriminately, it constitutes a mass surveillance measure. After the former Data Retention Directive was struck down by the CJEU in 2014 as it violated fundamental rights, the Commission is seeking to adopt new rules at EU level, posing a clear threat to everyone’s digital rights.

Wait, what? So there won't be a vote in October after all? That's kind of funny, because a few minutes ago I posted a toot that assumed the vote would be tomorrow :blobsmilesweat: Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy my temporary victory then :blobcatsmilehappy:
@echo_pbreyer, following the chat control proposal being taken off the table now one of the coalition parties of the Danish goverment withdraws its support for #ChatControl.
That weakens the position of the Danish minister of justice. Unlikely that he will make another extreme proposal under the Danish presidency of the Council.

The HackThePromise Festival took place again from October 3–5, 2025 in the city of Basel, Switzerland. The theme this year was “Hacking Systems, Hacking Futures.” As usual, numerous Pirates were in attendance, including PPI´s alternate board member Schoresh Dawoodi who spoke at the event and took pictures for us.
The festival interprets “hacking” as not only about computers. It means breaking open systems, rethinking rules, and finding new ways to live and work together. HackThePromise mixes talks, art, films, workshops, technology, and social discussions.
Over three days, participants questioned ask how technology can serve freedom and community instead of control.
HackThePromise continues to grow as a meeting point for creative blending of technology and society. It is not only about tools but also about values. We look forward to participating in the future.

🇪🇺Your browser's #DoNotTrack signal is now legally binding: As of today, enabling DNT means no more personalized political ads (and no nagging consent banners about it). Keep an eye on Meta & Co. Are they complying? Report any violations! patrick-breyer.de/en/political… #PoliticalAds
Today, Members of the European Parliament adopted new rules on transparency and targeting of political advertising, which will essentially apply from 2025.
Article 21(5) GDPR has this for all tracking and targeting, not just for political ads, since 2016. Enforcement is lacking, plus obligations for browser manufacturers.
@bendrath Does anyone know if a similar implementation is planned for EUdI Wallet?
Given that any form of transparency, let allown control of relying parties has been abondend a function like this in the wallet with regard to ID data might be usefull.
Otherwise the wallet will just become the new data source for the tracking industry instead of the cookies.
@littledetritus AFAIK there are certain safeguards such as domain-specific pseudonyms and obligations for relying parties in eIDAS, but I am not an expert. It was negotiated in the committee for industry and telcos. @socialhack followed it closely.
Just recently, Firefox removed Do Not Track in favour of Global Privacy Control, which seeks to communicate disagreement with data resale, but not collection. Is the law general enough to apply to mechanisms other than Do Not Track, and would a Global Privacy Control signal also prohibit data collection and not just resale?
Firefox kann Webseiten mitteilen, dass Sie und Ihre Aktivitäten im Internet nicht verfolgt werden möchten. Erfahren Sie mehr über die Funktion „Do Not Track“.
Firefox kann eine Website automatisch benachrichtigen, Ihre Informationen über Ihre Browsersitzung auf dieser Website nicht zu verkaufen oder weiterzugeben.
Die Verordnung ((EU) 2024/900) nennt DNT oder GPC nicht explizit.
Art. 18 Abs. 4 lit. a der Verordnung verpflichtet die Verantwortlichen sicherzustellen, dass nicht erneut um Einwilligung gebeten wird, wenn die betroffene Person „[...] bereits mit Hilfe automatisierter Verfahren zu erkennen gegeben hat, dass sie mit der Datenverarbeitung zu Zwecken der politischen Werbung nicht einverstanden ist, [...]“.
Ich würde daher GPC ebenso wie DNT unter den Begriff des ‚automatisierten Verfahrens‘ subsumieren.
Bei mir in LibreWolf etwa ist GPC weiterhin implementiert.
@citizenserious @xtaran > die betroffene Person „[...] bereits mit Hilfe automatisierter Verfahren zu erkennen gegeben hat
🤔 Wenn ich einen AdBlocker benutze, habe ich das IMHO recht deutlich mittels "automatisiertem Verfahren" zu erkennen gegeben – selbst wenn die eine oder andere Werbung "durchgekommen" sein sollte, oder?
Puhh, eine gute Überlegung. So wie ich das verstehe, setzt GPC und DNT ja eine art flag? Bei Adblockern dürfte der Inhalt regelmäßig gar nicht erst abgerufen werden. Daher würde ich ohne tieferen technischen Einblick das einfache Nicht-Abrufen nicht als ein „erkennen geben“ werten, auch wenn das Verfahren automatisiert ist.
Edit: Was mir eben noch einfällt: Ein Adblocker kann Inhalte erst blockieren, sobald sie geladen bzw. angezeigt werden sollen. Das dürfte nach meinem Verständnis aber ja eben erst nach einer Einwilligung passieren. Da beißt sich also die Katze in den Schwanz.
@citizenserious tut die Katz nicht. Ich bekomme regelmäßig Popups a la "Sie verwenden einen AdBlocker, blabla" (z.B. bei MakeUseOf). Die merken das also durchaus, dass bestimmte Segmente ihrer Seite nicht geladen werden. @xtaran @echo_pbreyer
Blöde Frage: wie sehe ich (einfach), ob eine Website die Einstellung auch respektiert? Also wie sehe ich, ob die Website nicht einfach das „do Not Track“ und/oder die Cookie-Einstellung des Banners ignoriert?
ach, ich hab schon meine politische Heimat bei der abgehobenen linken Elite gefunden. Das sind solche, die für #noKings auf die Straße gehen und sich als #Tochter outen.
Press freedom wins in Chicago court, but fight continues
Chicago journalists won a big First Amendment victory Oct. 9, when a federal court temporarily curbed federal officers’ abuses at protests. But the fight isn’t over.
The order still allows officers to potentially remove journalists along with protesters, a serious threat to press freedom that must be fixed.
We also can’t rely on courts alone. Local officials must step up, especially to protect independent journalists, who’ve been the main targets of these violations.
That’s why Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) led a coalition letter urging the Broadview, Illinois, Police Department and Illinois State Police to investigate attacks on independent journalists covering protests.
A segment on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” about corruption and secrecy surrounding presidential libraries cited FPF’s Lauren Harper, who has been warning about Trump’s purported library since before his inauguration.
Oliver is right. Secret donations to presidential libraries enable bribery, while public access to presidential records is at an all-time low. Use our action center tool to tell Congress to close the secrecy loopholes and increase transparency.
The Pentagon attempted to walk back its policy restricting reporters from publishing news the government doesn’t authorize. But the revised policy is still a nonstarter to which no journalist should agree.
Meanwhile, a nominee for general counsel for the Department of the Army, Charles L. Young III, effectively endorsed the unconstitutional restrictions during a Senate hearing this week, opining that the First Amendment authorizes the government to punish journalists for publishing information that it did not approve for public release.
That’s disqualifying. A journalist’s job isn’t to keep the government’s secrets. It’s to report news the government does not want reported.
State Department must stand up for journalists detained on flotillas
Israel continues to hold American journalists captured in international waters aboard aid flotillas. The latest are Jewish Currents reporter Emily Wilder and Drop Site News reporter Noa Avishag Schnall. Previously, Israel detained Drop Site News reporter Alex Colston, who has said he and other detainees were abused and denied medical care.
But the State Department is doing little if anything about these detainments, presumably because the journalists in question don’t agree with the administration’s policies. Lawmakers need to raise their voices and pressure the administration to do more.
It’s not every day a student newspaper takes on the federal government. But that’s exactly what The Stanford Daily is doing.
The Daily sued Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in August over the Trump administration’s push to deport foreign students for exercising free speech, like writing op-eds and attending protests.
We spoke at the start of Stanford University’s fall term with Editor-in-Chief Greta Reich about why the Daily is fighting back. Read more here.
It’s time to end the SEC gag rule
We’ve written before about the unconstitutionality of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “gag rule,” which bars those who settle with the SEC from talking to reporters, to protect the SEC’s reputation.
We shouldn’t need to say this, but the government doesn’t get to censor its critics to make itself look good. Last week, we filed a legal brief explaining to a federal appellate court why the ridiculous rule must be struck down. Read the brief here.
What we’re reading
ICE goes masked for a single reason(The New York Times). FPF’s Adam Rose tells the Times that immigration officers “seem to feel they can just willy-nilly shoot tear gas canisters at people and shoot them with foam rounds that can permanently maim people.”
Press Freedom Partnership newsletter (The Washington Post). “Journalists who are considering covering the story are going to think twice about it and stay home because they don’t want to be jailed and shot. It’s a major problem,” we told the Post about law enforcement targeting journalists covering anti-deportation protests in and around Chicago.
MAGA slams ‘fake news’ but embraces ‘The Benny Show’s’ misinformation (Straight Arrow News). “Plenty of past presidents would have loved to exclude serious journalists … and bring in the Benny Johnsons of their time. They just were under the impression that the public wouldn’t tolerate that,” we told Straight Arrow News. Now it’s up to the public to prove those past presidents right and the current one wrong.
A federal judge just reminded the government that the First Amendment still applies in Chicago.
On Oct. 9, Chicago journalists and protesters scored a major legal win, when Judge Sara Ellis issued a temporary restraining order reigning in federal officers’ repeated First Amendment violations at protests.
It’s a big victory for press freedom. The order prohibits arrests and use of physical force against journalists and restricts the use of dangerous crowd-control munitions. It defines “journalists” broadly, in a way that includes independent, freelance, and student reporters. It also enhances transparency by requiring federal officers to wear “visible identification,” like a unique serial number.
This order and similar rulings in Los Angeles last month are powerful reminders that journalists working together can vindicate their rights in the courts. They also highlight the crucial role that independent journalists and smaller news organizations play in defending press freedom. In both Chicago and Los Angeles, it’s been freelancers, community news outlets, local press clubs, and unions who’ve taken the lead, teaming up with protesters, legal observers, and clergy to take the government to court.
Unconstitutional dispersals of press still possible
But the fight isn’t over. The Chicago order unfortunately leaves open the possibility that, at least in some instances, federal officers may order journalists to leave areas where protests are being broken up or officers are attacking protesters.
Although the order prohibits dispersal of journalists from protests as a general matter, it also states that officers can “order” journalists to “change location to avoid disrupting law enforcement,” as long as they have “an objectively reasonable time to comply and an objectively reasonable opportunity to report and observe.” (In contrast, a similar order in Los Angeles states only that federal officers may “ask” journalists to change location.)
Federal officers are likely to use this as a loophole to continue to violently remove the press from protests, on the pretext that it’s necessary to avoid disruption. The order’s requirement that press must be able to continue to report and observe is also too lax; far better would have been an order specifically requiring that press be able to continue to see and hear the protest and law enforcement response.
Even when police can disperse protesters who break the law, the First Amendment doesn’t allow them to disperse journalists, too.
The weaker language around dispersals of journalists in the court’s order is a shame, especially for the public’s right to know. In recent days, Chicago journalists have been reporting about the violent tactics used by federal agents to disperse protests. If journalists can be ordered to leave alongside protesters, they can’t observe what’s happening or capture the images they need to keep the public informed.
It also makes dispersals more dangerous for protesters. As Unraveled Press noted, “Again and again, we’ve seen cops are most likely to get more violent with demonstrators when out of public view.” (Unraveled Press co-founder Raven Geary is a plaintiff in the Chicago lawsuit.) And while the court’s order prohibits dispersal orders aimed at peaceful protesters, if federal officers violate that order and also disperse the press to avoid a “disruption,” it will be much harder for the public to learn about it.
By declining to simply prohibit federal officers from dispersing the press, except when necessary to serve an essential government need such as public safety, the court also got the law wrong. Even when police can disperse protesters who break the law, the First Amendment doesn’t allow them to disperse journalists, too.
We’re not the only ones who say so. Just last year, the Department of Justice issued guidance stating as much:
“In the case of mass demonstrations, there may be situations—such as dispersal orders or curfews—where the police may reasonably limit public access. In these circumstances, to ensure that these limitations are narrowly tailored, the police may need to exempt reporters from these restrictions. …”
The DOJ also said so in a previous report, reprimanding the Minneapolis Police Department for its suppression of protesters and the press following George Floyd’s murder:
“The First Amendment requires that any restrictions on when, where, and how reporters gather information ‘leave open ample alternative channels’ for gathering the news. Blanket enforcement of dispersal orders and curfews against press violates this principle because they foreclose the press from reporting about what happens after the dispersal or curfew is issued, including how police enforce those orders.”
And in an important decision from 2020, the federal court of appeals in the 9th Circuit also disapproved of blanket dispersal orders being enforced against the press. That case arose from very similar circumstances to those today: federal authorities abusing the First Amendment while policing federal property during Black Lives Matter protests in Portland, Oregon.
In the 2020 case, the 9th Circuit affirmed a legal order that exempted journalists from general dispersal orders issued by the federal government. Journalists, it wrote, “cannot be punished for the violent acts of others.”
These authorities make it clear: Journalists cannot be ordered to move simply because it would be more convenient for officers. Journalists can only be dispersed if it’s essential to a compelling government interest, and only if they continue to have another vantage point from which they can see and hear what’s going on in order to report.
It’s frustrating that the court’s order leaves the door open for the government to evade this well-established principle. But the fight isn’t over. The court’s temporary restraining order is just a first step. When it issues a more permanent ruling, it will have another opportunity to get the prohibition on dispersing the press right.
The European Pirate Party is proud to officially endorse the European Citizens’ Initiative for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, a campaign calling on the European Commission to support research, access, and responsible regulation of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Mental health remains one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. Across Europe, millions of people are struggling with depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders and other mental health conditions. Traditional treatment options do not work for everyone — which is why new, evidence-based approaches are urgently needed.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy has shown strong clinical potential in recent research, but legal barriers, outdated stigma, and lack of harmonized EU policies continue to block progress. This ECI aims to change that by calling for a European strategy to support scientific research, training, and safe access to these therapies under medical supervision.
“This is an important opportunity for the EU to take mental health seriously and to base its decisions on science rather than outdated fear. Psychedelic-assisted therapy offers real hope to many people for whom existing treatments are not enough. Supporting research and responsible regulation is not just sensible policy — it’s a matter of human dignity.” — Florian Roussel, Chair of the European Pirate Party
The European Pirates stand firmly for evidence-based policy, personal autonomy, and human rights. We believe mental health policy should be guided by scientific evidence and respect for individual choice, not by stigma or fear.
This European Citizens’ Initiative is a unique democratic tool that allows citizens to place issues directly on the EU agenda — but it needs one million signatures to succeed.
Sign the initiative today and help us push the EU toward a modern, rational, and compassionate approach to mental health care. Every signature counts.

The results are in from the national elections in the Czech Republic — and while the overall outcome is troubling, there are important victories to celebrate.
The Czech Pirate Party scored just about 9% in the elections, securing 18 seats in parliament, confirming their position as one of the strongest opposition forces in the country. In a challenging political climate, they succeeded in surpassing the extremist far right and saw the far left fail to enter parliament entirely.
“Although the overall result for the country is not good, there are also positive outcomes. We outran the extremist far right as wanted, and the far left did not make it at all.” — Zdeněk Hřib, party leader of the Czech Pirates
However, the general election result also marks a concerning shift, with Andrej Babiš and his ANO movement returning to power — a development that underscores the vital role the Pirates will now play in defending democracy, transparency, and fundamental rights as a strong and principled opposition.
“Today’s result is a reminder that democracy can never be taken for granted. We congratulate our Czech colleagues for their resilience, their brilliant campaign, and their determination to stand as a democratic alternative against populism and extremism.” — Florian Roussel, Chair of the European Pirate Party
The European Pirate Party stands firmly behind the Czech Pirates in their continued fight for a free, open, and democratic society.
Bonne nouvelle ! Le gouvernement allemand a publiquement annoncé qu'il ne voterait pas en faveur du projet européen de surveillance généralisée « Chat control ». Mis sous pression par la mobilisation populaire grandissante, le Conseil de l'Union européenne (qui réunit les gouvernements européens) va donc probablement reporter le vote prévu le 14 octobre prochain. 01net.com/actualites/le-system…
« Chat Control », ce projet européen de surveillance des messageries, a du plomb dans l'aile. L'Allemagne prévoit en effet de voter contre la proposition de l'UE qui, en pratique, mettrait fin au chiffrement de bout en bout des services de messagerie…
Si cela constitue une victoire, le projet de règlement européen ne disparaît pas pour autant. Les États membres vont tenter de retrouver un compromis et probablement de prévoir un nouveau vote d'ici le mois de décembre. Il faut donc continuer de contester haut et fort ce projet afin qu'il soit définitivement enterré.
Il y a un peu plus d’un an, la Commission européenne proposait l’un des pires textes jamais pensés sur le numérique : le règlement CSAR, également appelé « Chat control ».
So still client-side scanning, just for known images, not AI? So it’s still using my device to spy on me, just with less chance of false-positives. But now they have client-side scanning, and can turn the screws
Besides that it's easy to circumvent, it still is a privacy breach (they still want to look over our shoulders what we want to send) and it's still a security breach on the devices. So,still an absolute NO!
The filter sounds fine in theory, it's just a hash database or whatever that is checked against the image - but that doesn't always work, if the image is modified in any way.
So CSAM can't really be prevented this way. I think it's still more efficient to just infiltrate groups on Telegram and on other platforms and set honey traps to catch these people, it's proven to work, but it takes time and resources, but it's much more reliable and not privacy invasive for the average Joe.
IWF? Werden die nicht von Thorn gesponsert? Also genau von *den* Lobbyisten, die uns das Ganze (mit) eingebrockt haben, indem sie die EU Kommission zur #Chatkontrolle "hinberaten" haben.
@NebulaTide Box 3 of the IWF paper references the UK Online Safety Act. Ofcom’s Code of Practice (for publicly communicated CSAM) specifies perceptual hash matching, which aims to catch modified images.
Es gab mal irgendwo eine gute Beschreibung, wie das Fingerprinting von Bildern funktioniert... in den Kommentaren steht mehrfach, daß das ja so einfach zu umgehen sei, aber der Fingerprint ist kein Hash und tatsächlich gar nicht sooo einfach zu umgehen.
Irgendwas mit Farbkombinationen, Farbhäufigkeiten... so daß auch geänderte Rahmen oder Skalierung nicht helfen, um solchen Matches zu entgehen.
Press freedom advocates were pleasantly surprised when police in Broadview, Illinois, announced plans to investigate federal immigration officers’ shooting of a local CBS News journalist with pepper balls, and when the Illinois State Police offered help.
But the same advocates were alarmed by subsequent reports of local police assisting federal agents rather than reining them in. They also questioned why widely reported attacks on independent journalists — who have made up a significant majority of those victimized by federal officers while covering the protests — were not being similarly investigated.
Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) led a letter demanding answers today, signed by over 20 local and national press freedom and civil liberties groups that came together to demand protection and justice for independent journalists risking their safety to inform the public.
“ICE’s violent attacks on journalists and others exercising their First Amendment rights, in Broadview and nationwide, should all be thoroughly investigated by the local authorities whose states and municipalities ICE has invaded. Any local law enforcement presence should be solely focused on mitigating the harm ICE is causing to our neighborhoods, our free press, and our Constitution, not on enabling more of it,” said Seth Stern, director of advocacy at FPF.
“The violence and unlawful detainment of members of the press should concern us all. As demonstrations escalate, it’s imperative that authorities allow journalists to do their jobs of documenting what we are seeing on the ground. No one should have their First Amendment rights violated, especially journalists,” said Brandon Pope, president of NABJ-Chicago.
“The Chicago Journalists Association stands with journalists everywhere who are working to keep their communities informed,” the CJA board of directors said. “They should be free to exercise their First Amendment right to freedom of the press without intimidation, whether they’re fully employed by a news organization or practicing independently.”

@echo_pbreyer: Ah, typische EU: "Wir stimmen solange ab, bis uns das Ergebnis passt." Oder wie soll ich das jetzt verstehen, dass eine Abstimmung abgeblasen wird, nur weil für ein bestimmtes Ergebnis keine Mehrheit mehr erwartet wird?
Hätte es einen Effekt, wenn man darauf bestünde, die Abstimmung trotzdem durchzuführen, um ihr negatives Ergebnis ein bißchen dauerhafter festzuhalten?
Aber ist nicht schon die nächste geplant im Dezember, bzw. wurde die Abstimmung nicht nur verschoben?
Ich finde dieses Vorgehen ein Unding, immer wieder die Abstimmung absagen/verschieben wenn keine Aussicht auf Erfolg besteht. Sollen die halt endlich abstimmen und wenn die keinen Erfolg haben war es das dann endlich.
