Europeans/EU Citizens!

Update on the EU Kids Act:

The EU Commission has opened up the submission form for feedback on the bill. Let them know how much you don't want this! Let them know how much harm this bill will do to civil rights and economic stability! It's better to try and fail then to roll over and take it!

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/19418

P.S. And as always, mail/call your MEPs and other relevant government officials!

one thing that has went off the radar from Labour conference (compared to other parts of it) is Nandy's speech on social media.

I was hoping to write a thread here myself with analysis of what to expect, but then I saw this and it's even better than I would've written: https://paulfwalsh.substack.com/p/social-media-ban-for-under-16s-in

authoritarians kill open internet on purpose, democratic gov'ts – out of ignorance.
