This is a really big deal. And as @tjmcintyre notes, it is insane (if true, which I assume it is) that EU authorities didn't tell the public. We only know bc Google shared it with the @lumendatabase. Many thanks to whoever inside Google fought for, and signed off on, that.

The Senate unanimously passed cybersecurity legislation on Tuesday. There has been a lot of flashy headlines thrown around over the past couple of days about the "Strengthening American Cybersecurity Act" (SACA). I wish to debunk five of them. So here is a short thread 1/7

[Kevin Kohler @KevinKohlerFM]

Here’s an overview of what has happened on the cyber front so far in Ukraine 🧵

[Nele Achten @ne8en]

What can states do to counter #ransomware? Should the #military take action and if so, how? What is the European approach? If you are curious about these topics, read my new #CSS analysis piece👇Also available in German and French.

[CSS at ETH Zurich @CSS_ETHZurich]

In this #CSSAnalyses @ne8en argues that a public policy explicitly addressing #ransomware can support coordination across domestic agencies and foster international cooperation: https://t.co/trrFZHD7HS #CyberCSS

We all know about data security &critical infrastructure protection as policy areas. But have you ever thought about digital product security as an area of policy and regulation? Here are my observations after talking to public officials from 7 jurisdictions

[Access Now @accessnow]

While this appears to be DNS-related, it should remind everyone why we need a more open, decentralized, and inclusive internet — free from disruptions and with strong defenses.

Globally, many people experience the devastating effects of internet shutdowns first-hand. #KeepItOn

[Nele Achten @ne8en]

@AsafLubin Great 👍 and so quick! Glad to hear everything went well 😊

[Torben Klausa torbatschow.bsky.social @Torbatschow]

How far may @facebook's content moderation go (in Germany)? For the first time, the Federal Court of Justice @BGH_Bund takes a case on blocked comments and accounts. Some lower courts saw the freedom of expr. infringed by FB's ToS, due to size and importance as public space...

[Nele Achten @ne8en]

Thanks for providing this opportunity. I look forward to discuss the role of the private sector in preventing and mitigating cyber threats, the final report of the #OEWG and norms of public-private sector cooperation!
