This seems relevant to the whole #Gab discussion, so I'll leave it here.

Google does offers helpful services, but primarily for their customers, not their users. Like this time its AI algorithms helped DoD with drones strikes

According to that, the directive was already approved by vote. Here is how individual countries voted.

Surprising how quickly many journalists aligned with US DOJ narrative on #Assange.

As someone who couldn't care less about nations & borders, I see no difference between people who promote either Russia's or USA's interests and their tendency to prosecute whistleblowers.

A glimpse of future for #CopyrightDirective #Article11 & #Article13 implementation.

When legislation complexity contradicts how internets works, even big platforms will choose the easy way out.

Media outlets expect to be paid by Google. More likely, Google News will stop on EU

The #CopyrightDirective is still to be approved by the #EU Council, but #France already started asking for #Uploadfilters legislation.

I guess some MEPs were either lying to our faces or they were p̶r̶e̶s̶s̶u̶r̶e̶d̶ confused enough.

What's wrong with the web, summarized in one screenshot. CERN's live streaming for the #Web30 anniversary is delivered through #Facebook.

Articles that @timberners_lee@twitter.com has written,about the danger of a few tech platforms dominating the web, seem rather ironic at this point.

A nice glimpse into 80's Greek #feminist movement. "My Katines" documentary at #TDF21, the story of the Autonomous Group of Women of Thessaloniki, which published a feminist magazine.

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain"
