RE: chaos.social/@epicenter_works/…
Today the @EUCommission unveiled its proposal for a Digital Networks Act (#DNA)... and it has far-reaching implications for Europe’s internet.
Despite being framed as a “technical update,” our member @epicenter_works's first analysis shows the proposal could dismantle key net neutrality safeguards, centralise political power, and threaten an open and neutral internet.
Read the full analysis 👇

Today the EU Commission published the long-awaited Digital Networks Act. We analysed it immediately. Our first take: dangerous. The proposal threatens #NetNeutrality weakens independent regulators, and opens the door to network fees.chaos.social

✊🏾 @edri is proud to join @LaQuadrature and other orgs in challenging the discriminatory algorithms used by the family branch of the French welfare system (CNAF).
In the context of the current #deregulation spree by the European Commission, this legal action shows resistance to the rollback of #FundamentalRights protections and the increase of rights-infringing legislation.

Vietare cose ad altre persone è facile
L'Australia ha adottato misure per obbligare le aziende di social media a impedire ai minori di 16 anni di avere un account, e si parla sempre di seguire l'esempio del Regno Unito. Oggi voglio spiegare brevemente perché ritengo che sia una cattiva idea.

Surveillance Watch – Una mappa che mostra le connessioni tra le aziende di sorveglianza
Le tecnologie di sorveglianza e gli #spyware vengono utilizzati per prendere di mira e sopprimere giornalisti, dissidenti e difensori dei diritti umani in tutto il mondo. Surveillance Watch è un database interattivo che documenta le connessioni nascoste all'interno dell'opaco settore della sorveglianza. Fondata da sostenitori della privacy, la maggior parte dei quali è stata personalmente danneggiata dalle tecnologie di sorveglianza, la nostra missione è quella di far luce sulle aziende che traggono profitto da questo sfruttamento. Mappando l'intricata rete di aziende di sorveglianza, delle loro filiali, partner e finanziatori, speriamo di svelare i facilitatori che alimentano le diffuse violazioni dei diritti in questo settore, garantendo che non possano eludere la responsabilità per la loro complicità in questi abusi. Surveillance Watch è un'iniziativa promossa dalla comunità e ci affidiamo ai contributi di persone appassionate della tutela della #privacy e dei diritti umani.
