This bill would force online services to personally get approval from the EU Commission before pushing any updates "that might effect children" (translation: all of them).
This bill would also make jail-breaking/installing alternate operating systems effectively illegal.
The EU Commission has gone completely mask off (notably Ursula, the EU Commission President). We should've seen Ursula using underhanded tactics to get CC 1.0 through as a sign of things to come. She is completely compromised.

The European Commission has proposed an incredibly draconian piece of legislation: The EU Kids Act. Leaked drafts have revealed that this is bill is closely modeled after the UK's Online Safety Act.
Among many other horrible things, some provisions feel like a direct retaliation against the Stop Killing Games movement.
This is in addition to Chat Control 2.0! Of which Parliament's debate regarding that bill will resume soon! Please mail/call your MEPs/relevant reps!

No to the EU Kids Act and thus age verification for everyone online!
Yes to the abolition of surveillance capitalism and the break-up of Big Tech monopolies – which would lead to the direct end of risky social media and video platforms.

Now it's official: On Thursday, the EU Commission will propose a new law they call the #KIDSAct. It will ban young people from a range of different online services and be enforced by the Commission themselves.
What a waste of political capital and legislative resources.

💀USA zerstören das 2001 gegründete Kollektiv Autistici/Inventati (A/I)!💀
Seit 25 Jahren konnten linke Aktivist:innen über deren Infrastruktur Mails versenden, aber vor allem ihre Blogs hosten, am bekanntesten sind die tausenden Blogs unter noblogs.
Am 26. August stuften die USA das Kollektiv A/I als globale terroristische Vereinigung ein.
Letzte Woche kündigte deren Bank das Konto und behielt das Geld einfach ein.
Jetzt verkündete das Kollektiv dessen Ende! Und damit auch das Ende von tausenden Blogs, die unter noblogs gehostet sind.
Dass Entscheidungen die in den USA getroffen werden, zigtausende Menschen ganz unmittelbar betreffen, kommt hierzulande meist nur indirekt an, denn die US-Bomben fallen seit 1945 nicht mehr in Deutschland. Aber ein simpler bürokratischer Akt kann ebenfalls tiefgreifende Folgen nach sich ziehen.
Der Umgang mit dem Kollektiv sollte alle wachrütteln, denn es kann jederzeit, an jedem Ort weitere linke Projekte treffen. "Antifa-Ost" ist beispielsweise schon seit 2025 von den USA als Terrororganisation gelistet.
Vielleicht trifft es dann eines Tages auch die Rote Hilfe (RH) direkt? Denn alleine die Listung von 'Antifa Ost' durch die USA, führte zu heftigen Reaktionen bei der GLS-Bank und der Sparkasse Göttingen: sie kündigten der RH die Konten- was nur mit viel Solidarität der Zivilgesellschaft bei der GLS rückgängig gemacht werden konnte, und im Falle der Sparkasse, mit Hilfe der Gerichte.
Die Neofaschisten allerorten blasen auf den Strassen und auch in den Büros von Regierungen und Verwaltungen, zum Angriff auf linke Strukturen.
Hierin reiht sich auf lokaler Ebene der Sieg der rechtsextremen AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt ein.
Die Zeiten werden kälter und wir brauchen Strategien um uns adäquat gegen diese Angriffe verteidigen zu können.
Danke an Euch alle von A/I! Für Eure jahrzehntelange Arbeit! Ihr habt tausenden Blogs ein Zuhause geboten! Ihr habt hunderttausenden Menschen Hoffnung gegeben!
Euer Projekt ist Teil der Geschichte des Aufstands!Aber der Aufstand, der ist nicht Geschichte, er geht weiter!

Nineteen days before the U.S. sanctions deadline, Autistici/Inventati is shutting down.
For twenty-five years, A/I built infrastructure for people who understood that privacy, autonomy and resistance require more than good intentions. Now a government order has made keeping that infrastructure alive untenable.
There is grief in this. There should also be fury.
Because fascism does not arrive only as boots in the street. Sometimes it arrives as a designation, a compliance deadline, a terrified service provider, a bank account that suddenly stops working. Bureaucracy has always been one of authoritarianism’s favorite costumes. The paperwork looks terribly respectable while the walls close in.
And this cannot remain a problem for “the nerds.” People organizing in every sphere need to understand what autonomous infrastructure means, why it matters, and what happens when we leave it to a tiny number of exhausted technical collectives to keep the lights on for everyone else.
We need to become the thousand servers. Now.
If one autonomous project can be isolated, there should be ten more behind it. A hundred. A thousand. This should be the moment radical hosting, federated services, community servers, privacy infrastructure and collectively controlled networks begin flourishing, not retreating. Build them in basements, social centers, infoshops, collectives, cooperatives and wherever else people can keep a machine humming and a cable plugged into the wall.
The lesson cannot be that autonomous infrastructure was too dangerous to maintain.
The lesson has to be that we did not have nearly enough of it.
We ❤️ A/I. We are heartbroken to see it end this way. And we refuse to treat its shutdown as the end of the idea it spent twenty-five years proving was possible.
Use the logo and banner provided by @subvertising to keep their memory alive. Let's not forget this by next week!
Goodbye, A/I. Not farewell.

Five FOIA requests have been filed.
Three with the State Department. One with Treasury/OFAC. One with the FBI.
We’re looking for the missing bureaucratic handoff: who first put Autistici/Inventati into the U.S. sanctions pipeline, when, and on whose referral?
The investigation is now also a public records docket. As agencies acknowledge, process, deny or release records, we’ll publish the paper trail and update the investigation.

Britain is building far more than a digital ID.
Certified private verification providers, personal-data intermediaries, new cyber-security powers and a cross-government identity layer are all moving at once.
Taken together, they begin to define who and what the digital state will trust.

A global pattern is emerging beneath the headlines.
Britain is building digital identity and data-sharing infrastructure. America is extending state power into grid software and private cyber operations. Europe is enforcing machine-readable AI rules. Australia is building age-assurance systems. Brazil is testing AI safeguards.
