#fnf25 — Public Fediverse posts

Yesterday we had a great 1st #FediforumEurope day #Fediforum 🚀

I gave an update on recent developments in European states and at #EU level in #policy areas relevant to the #Fediverse & #OSW - for example the 🇪🇺 #DMA consultation.

Also a quick review of #fediplomacy and advocacy events #EUFediverse✨

At @fnf #fnf25 we held 2 specific Fediverse workshops with @digiges @pneutig @resieguen @cypherhippie @eest9 @c3wien and enjoyed a fruitful exchange with Fediverse enthusiasts @FediVariety

#FreedomNotFear 2025 was a great experience in Brussels again. More than 90 participants from various countries joined the (un-)conference and organised workshops on the digital rights topics of their choice.

Many of us then visited the European Parliament together or scheduled individual meetings with policy-makers to advocate for democracy and fundamental rights in an increasingly digitalised world.

We look forward to reconvene as #FNF26 next year!

Últimos dias bem preenchidos, em Bruxelas, com representação de dois membros da D3.

No fim de semana, mais uma edição do Freedom Not Fear #FNF25

Finally concluded the last parts of #FNF25 - after a weekend of workshops and networking, many of us visited the European Parliament. Some of us also scheduled meetings with members of the European Parliament or other policymakers to advocate for digital rights in the context of the topics we discussed over the weekend.
#FreedomNotFear

It's a shame that I can't attend this year. Next year, I promise! #fnf25

Our warmest solidarity greetings go out to the #privacy and #digitalRights activists from all over Europe who are gathering in #Brussels for a long weekend of #FreedomNotFear!

Freedom not Fear is a truly independent and self-organised #barcamp that has brought together citizens, NGOs and members the European Parliament each year since 2010.

You can attend spontaneously today or tomorrow, or keep an eye on the website and maybe get your travel expenses reimbursed when attending next year: https://freedomnotfear.org/

#fnf25 #unconference

Starting the day at #FNF25. People are sharing impressions of the digital rights debates in different countries. And one thing is clear: #ChatControl is on the agenda everywhere.
Let's keep up the pressure together and demand that our right to privacy is respected!
#StopScanningMe #FreedomNotFear

Heading back from a great first evening at #FNF25. After so many months of preparation, it is amazing to see it all materialise.

Already had lots of interesting conversations and met cool people. I really look forward to the sessions tomorrow. There is a sense of urgency for the many topics on the digital rights landscape right now, but also a willingness to act together. ✊
#FreedomNotFear

We want everyone at #FreedomNotFear 2025 to be as safe and empowered to participate as possible. At the event we ask everyone to be conscious of your own behaviour and respect needs for distance or other safety measures of people around you. There is a code of conduct for #FNF25 and we ask everyone participating and co-organising to read the code of conduct beforehand. We consider participation in Freedom of Fear 2025 as acknowledgement of the FNF25 code of conduct.

https://freedomnotfear.org/2025/code-of-conduct-fnf25

#FNF25 kicks off tonight! We are looking forward to reconvene as #FreedomNotFear community in Brussels again!

We are proud to welcome Christoph Schmon @tylium from @eff as keynote speaker tonight. He will speak on #ProtectEU, #GoingDark and Securitisation in EU politics.

@foss_events Thank you!

The hashtags we use are #FNF25 (numbered consecutive for the barcamp each year) and #FreedomNotFear (for the community independent from the specific years).

Am 26. - 29.09. findet in Brüssel die Freedom not Fear statt, ein kleines Juwel in der Landschaft der Konferenzen zu digitalen Themen, mehr unter:

Wen EU Digital-Themen wie der CRA, DSA, Age Verification etc. interessieren ist hier richtig.

#fnf25

**Call for Registrations: #FreedomNotFear 2025**

Freedom Not Fear (FNF) is an annual self-organised conference on privacy and digital rights. People from across Europe and beyond come together to advocate for freedom in the digitalized world, plan actions against attacks on civil liberties and increasing surveillance, and seek discussions with decision-makers.

#FNF25 takes place 26–29 September in Brussels. Register by 11 August:
https://freedomnotfear.org/2025/call-for-registrations

You care about digital rights and want to fight for them on the European level? Come and join the #FNF25 co-organisers team! We are looking for more people to share knowledge, tasks and our passion for democracy and technology.

(Not) based in Brussels? It's extra helpful but not necessary. We mostly prepare in a decentralised way and meet online.

We can't wait to hear from you!

Are you going to #38c3? Join us for an open discussion about #FreedomNotFear and bring your ideas for #fnf25. We meet on Day 3 at 16:00, kindly hosted by the @HouseOfTea 🫖

https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/freedom-not-fear-meetup/

Like any barcamp, #FreedomNotFear is a self-organizing (un)conference. However, it is safe to say that this year's #FnF24 would not have happened without @mocksita, @pneutig and Tobias. They have been planning this event for months.

Other volunteers have joined the planning team over time. If you can imagine making #FnF25 happen, do talk to them. We need you!

Heartfelt thanks go out to Lara who stepped in as a facilitator when it turned out that @wiebkehere would not available this year.
