    Findings:
    • Over-reliance on self-declared age
    • Alleged unlawful processing of children’s data
    • Lack of early DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment)
    • Enforcement under Age Appropriate Design Code
    Core tension:
    Privacy-by-minimization vs. identity-based compliance controls.

  7. French law enforcement, supported by Europol’s EC3, is investigating alleged criminal activity linked to platform X, including the dissemination of illegal content such as deepfakes and child sexual abuse material.

    Authorities conducted investigative measures in France, with Europol providing on-site analytical and cybercrime expertise. The investigation remains active, with no final findings disclosed.

    From a security and governance standpoint, this case underscores ongoing challenges around platform-level controls, detection mechanisms, and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.

  13. U.S. authorities, working with Bulgarian law enforcement and Europol, seized three high-traffic piracy domains allegedly distributing unauthorized digital content.

    The operation highlights the use of domain seizures, international coordination, and infrastructure disruption as tools against large-scale copyright infringement.

    What long-term impact do these takedowns have on digital abuse ecosystems?

  23. I’m at the Australian Internet Governance Forum (auIGF) today with the @digital_justice_society

    Uncle Mickey welcomed us to Kaurna Country this morning. Lovely to position this digital work within broader considerations of how we live together well and how we weave new approaches with established knowledge.

    Big talks this conference on if the internet is working for us, what its problems are and how we can govern our digital spaces for inclusion, openness and better societies (there’s lots of work to do!)

    What do u know about how the internet is governed? Would love peoples input and I’ll try fold some feedback into my conference contributions ;)

  24. "Civil society is deeply concerned over the crony capitalist, tributary-focused nature of this administration, especially as it relates to companies that control our access to the free flow of information. We have documented clear private sector winners, like Elon Musk’s Starlink and SpaceX, and how X and Musk amplify the administration’s messages. For instance, amid Trump’s attempt to negotiate a cease-fire between Ukraine and Russia—where Ukraine has been vilified—Musk amplified false claims that widespread outages at X were the result of Ukrainian attacks. Soon thereafter, President Trump returned the favor, claiming that consumer boycotts of Tesla are “illegal” and encouraged Americans to support the company.

    The quid-pro-quo dynamic is not unique to Musk. During the previous Trump administration, Amazon lost high-profile contracts, for which it directly blamed the president. This time around, the company has reportedly made a series of overtures, including signing a $40 million deal to support a documentary from the first lady. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ decision to intervene in the Washington Post’s endorsement of Kamala Harris was also widely scrutinized, as it came on the heels of visits with then-candidate Trump. Most recently, President Trump reportedly pushed Bezos away from a stance that would display the extent to which tariffs changed the price of products on Amazon. As companies ingratiate themselves with this administration, we fear that policy stances are shifting to the detriment of privacy, security, and political freedom."

  25. The NGI Outreach Office is at the High-Level Conference on the Governance of #Web4.0 & #VirtualWorlds, hosted by the European Commission and the 2025 Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU.

    Building the future Internet means shaping it around openness, interoperability & fundamental rights. A multistakeholder model is essential to ensure a digital space that works for everyone, everywhere.

  26. #DigitalCommons #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DigitalGovernance #DataGovernance: "Building upon the G20 New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration commitment to improving access to digital services through digital public infrastructure (DPI), this policy brief discusses the potential of governing DPI as a commons, drawing from the governance of data/digital ecosystems and practices of commoning and co-creation from the open movement.

    A commons approach to governing DPI can help scale and localise DPI exchanges, increase transparency and accountability, accelerate their impact, reduce governance complexities, data and localisation frictions, and secure community engagement beyond the governments and companies involved. Important public goods as diverse as
    Wikipedia and Linux constituted and governed as digital commons, offer valuable lessons in digital governance. Rigorous research on Knowledge Commons, building on the Nobel
    prize-winning work of Elinor Ostrom, provides conceptual and practical resources to ensure that DPI increases equality as it addresses marginalisation.

    The G20 Summit in Brazil promises to address transversal issues related to citizen participation, democratic governance, and urgent action to reduce poverty and tackle the climate crisis. The Commons-based governance structure proposed for DPI, enables cooperation by multiple actors, including the public sector, commercial providers and civil society, even across borders. The brief recommends developing and adopting a
    digital commons governance model for DPI to accelerate its adoption and increase the public benefits of technology deployed at scale while safeguarding the rights and digital
    sovereignty of countries and communities within them."
