I report on digital rights and privacy, offering fact-based updates on policies that shape our online freedom. #Privacy #PrivacyMatters #DataPrivacy

@Jeyso215 Not sure what you mean by that. Sessionary is a real privacy-first project.

Also strange that you blocked the Sessionary account for some unknown reason, so I had to reply from my personal. No need for that.

Every app now calls itself “smart,” tracking what you do, predicting what you’ll want next, and quietly learning more than it should.

Sessionary isn’t built to compete with that. It’s built to reject it. Privacy isn’t a feature here, it’s the foundation.

The EU has delayed the vote on the controversial "Chat Control" regulation (originally set for 14 October). Germany's shift to opposition seems to be a factor.

@BoLoudon @bluesky @elonmusk Completely agree. Whatever people think of Elon, he brought back a space for real speech online. Disagreement isn't hate, it's part of freedom.

@benonwine YES

If privacy becomes optional, so does freedom.

The EU calls it "protecting children." In reality, ChatControl means scanning everyone's private messages. Safety doesn't come from surveillance.

The EU #ChatControl vote originally set for October 14 has reportedly been delayed, there's no majority for it now.

Our protests are making a difference. But this fight isn't over, we must stay vigilant.

True. Consent means nothing when the system is built to confuse you into giving it.

[Sessionary @sessionaryapp]

Over 70% of consumers don’t read privacy policies but hit “I agree” anyway. That’s a broken system. We’re building one where you don’t have to surrender trust to use the service.

Most people think privacy is about hiding, but it's really about choosing what to share and with whom. Without that choice, there's no trust, only exposure.

That's what I'm building with @sessionaryapp. Follow the journey for a more private internet. #Privacy #DigitalRights #Startup #WebDevelopment

[Miroslav Machynka @mirmachynka]

One day left until the EU votes on #ChatControl. The decision will shape the future of online privacy in Europe, mass scanning or digital freedom. There's no middle ground.

@Cartidise I've used it, then switched to Brave. Some tools don't need to be bad, they just need to remind you who's collecting your data.

@DerrickEvans4WV This is beyond dystopian.
When a score decides who deserves a home, society stops being human. Rights should never depend on algorithms.

AI is pushing data center builders toward greener designs, with companies racing to reduce their carbon footprint amid rising compute demand.

The issue is urgent: AI already drives a growing chunk of energy and emissions, and new studies warn scaling without regulation will worsen climate strain.

NASA and NOAA just launched a triple mission aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9: IMAP + Carruthers Geocorona + SWFO-L1 to study solar wind & space weather effects.

These missions aim to improve forecasting and protect satellites and power grids from solar storms.

#California just passed SB 53, a new law forcing big AI companies to share their safety protocols and report incidents publicly. Violations may trigger fines up to $1M.

.@NASA confirmed its Artemis program is still on track for a crewed lunar landing in 2026. The mission will bring the first woman and first non-American astronaut to the Moon, testing tech for future Mars flights.

Japan just announced plans to deploy AI-powered tsunami warning buoys across its coastline in 2026. The system will detect seismic shifts faster than satellites and aims to cut evacuation times by minutes that save lives.

@SabineVdL @Microsoft Exactly. Transparency is a start, but without accountability it risks becoming another layer of image polishing. Real progress means making these disclosures mandatory and comparable across the industry.

[Miroslav Machynka @mirmachynka]

.@Microsoft says its AI models will soon get “energy labels” showing estimated compute and carbon cost for each use. The idea is to make environmental impact visible to users, like nutrition facts on food. Critics say it’s still voluntary.
