People do not understand Rutte’s job. Rutte’s job is to keep Trump interested in NATO until the midterms at least and through the end of his term ideally, while also ensuring security and unity.
It is Rutte’s job to be called names and disparaged by people. He is trying to keep the most important member of NATO interested.
Remember, the worst case scenario is not an apathetic America, it is an America which is overtly hostile. You have seen a taste of that with Greenland. This must be avoided.
None of these loophole talks matches the first time seeing Mercedes pull out the DAS system on the first day of winter testing. That championship was over already 😭😭
The European Commission lost the Chat Control 2.0 battle over access to end-to-end encrypted data. By the summer 2026, they will be back with their next attempt: Going Dark. This time some EU member states want to include VPN services.
The Going Dark initiative, or ProtectEU as the Commission now calls it, wants to “enable law enforcement authorities to access encrypted data in a lawful manner”. This is a Chat Control 3.0 attempt.
The EU Commission and several member states are also looking for new rules on data retention. In a new ”Presidency outcome paper”, the member states discuss metadata retention: which websites you visit, and who is communicating with whom, when and how often. The ambition is “to have the broadest possible scope of application” and this time some member states also want the proposal to include VPN services.
Mullvad has spent the last three years opposing Chat Control 2.0 – even though the law would have affected our business positively.
We will continue to fight Going Dark with full force, regardless of whether VPNs are included or not. If VPNs are included, and if Going Dark becomes law, we will never spy on our customers no matter what.
What is ridiculous is Danny just let Bart make statements as if they were facts without even simple checks. These previously debunked arguments were sprung upon one person as a ‘surprise’.
I’d I were to re-edit this to remove all the previously debunked claims it would have been over in minutes.
Absolute failure of journalism here, Danny should be ashamed he facilitated this.
You're an imbecile.
This won't stop anything. The kids on social media don't have parents who actually "parent". All they're going to do is find a bypass or convince their parent (or some other adult) to allow them access to the social media platform.
You've just given large technology companies gold on a gold platter under the guise of helping children.
Thank you for destroying the privacy of people all across the European Union and doing nothing to protect the kids. This is excellent work. Bravo.
Solo per le vergognose parole diffuse dal portavoce del ministero degli esteri russo sul crollo di Roma (parole scrause dette quando gli operai coinvolti erano ancora sotto le macerie, purtroppo uno deceduto), ci vorrebbe subito un altro convoglio di Centauro 8x8 per l'Ucraina.
Keeping Up With...all the chatter about the Moon today, we wanted to show off two of our favorite photos from Apollo and Artemis. 🌔
We're looking forward to the next crewed mission to the Moon early next year! 🚀🧑🚀
The silence is deafening. Civilian men, women, and children are being slaughtered in Sudan.
Estimates of over 150,000 killed & 14 million displaced since April 2023. Considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
No mass protests. No daily political statements/demands. No college campus encampments.
After the Gulf war in 1991, the US General Schwarzkopf was made an Honorary corporal of the French Foreign Legion.
The Légion gave him a wallet-sized card with a telephone number to call if he was ever in trouble anywhere in the world.
