📨 Today, EDRi and 51 civil society organisations, academics, and experts have written to the European Commission to oppose any attempts to suspend or delay the #ArtificialIntelligence #AI Act.
These attempts, especially in light of the growing trend of #deregulation of #FundamentalRrights and environmental protection, could undermine accountability and hard-won rights for people, the planet, justice and democracy 🚨

Since last week, the EC is receiving stakeholders views on specific issues in relation to the specific implementing measures presented by gatekeepers. The #DMA can open doors for #FreeSoftware alternatives, but gatekeepers are still throwing up roadblocks. We are there to highlight those and make sure the DMA is implemented in a developer friendly-way.

Seems like EU Commission made logging in to the consultation site harder than before?
At least I don't remember this weird hoop from June: after entering your email, there's a separate screen with a password field. Under the password field is a popup full of what looks like 2FA methods with weird names. If you just try to continue after entering your password, you get an error that the selected authentication method has not been enabled on your account.
To actually log in with a password, you have to explicitly select "Password" from the popup. The default for me was something that sounded like FIDO2 in bureaucratese.
The #DMA can open doors for #FreeSoftware: alternative app stores, browsers, emulators, and much more!
But right now, gatekeepers are throwing up roadblocks.
We need your help to hold them accountable.

Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision... The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan.This animated movie tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer.
