News of a potentially disruptive innovation in education comes from #ElSalvador.
This small Central American country is no stranger to pioneering solutions that anticipate the future.
Ever wondered why #nutriscore labels suck?
Same product (lactose free milk), same brand (@DelhaizeBelgium), same shop, same nutritional values, but different score (A vs B).
Iโm turning 41, but I donโt feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast โ while weโre asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms โ and allowed them to be taken away.
Weโve been fed a lie.
Weโve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, weโve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction โ moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, Iโm not going to celebrate today. Iโm running out of time. WE are running out of time.

The European Commission proposes a new surveillance tool supposed to help in the fight against child abuse depictions and grooming online: the so called #chatControl. Under this proposal, all messages, photos and videos that you send via messenger services such as WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal, would be scanned for that kind of content, even bypassing encryption. All civilians would be placed under general suspicion and monitored. The risk of misuse by the authorities is enormous. Because what was claimed to help in the fight against child abuse depictions and cybergrooming can quickly be extended onto other contexts: to copyright infringements, to hate speech and fakenews, potentially even to undesirable opinions. This is an attack on our fundamental rights in the digital space. It has nothing to do with European values.
