SENSITIVE CONTENT!

A Russian soldier, while being captured by a group of Ukrainian soldiers and a Brazilian volunteer, tried to take advantage of the moment when they were not immediately able to identify him

Fortunately, one of the fighters reacted quickly when the enemy took up the machine gun, and managed to eliminate him with a burst of machine gun fire at close range

"What we do in these next few months will determine whether Europe’s liberal democracy survives or is for ever lost. Investing in defence will be for naught if foreign powers – whether the US, Russia, or China – can boost authoritarian collaborators within the EU’s borders.

The EU must immediately switch off the tech companies’ algorithms on its soil, at least until they are proven safe for democracy. Without that artificial amplification, extreme material will again have to compete with the deluge of cat videos and other things posted by people on digital platforms at that same instant. With X and other platforms upgraded to a pre-algorithm state, Musk’s posts will no longer be forced in to people’s feeds. We will still have digital platforms, but extremism will again be niche rather than the norm.

Ursula von der Leyen last year pledged to introduce a “democracy shield” to protect Europe from foreign electoral manipulation. Von der Leyen’s first step should be to shut down recommender algorithms. One way of doing that is to put political pressure on Ireland, which is responsible for enforcing Europe’s tough data law on most big tech firms but has not delivered. Instead, Dublin, according to the whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams, has been the tech industry’s lapdog. But von der Leyen should activate the commission’s decisive powers, too.

The democracy shield risks becoming a hodgepodge of timid half measures. Europe’s national capitals must demand immediate action both from the commission and from Ireland. Trump cannot be allowed to hold the hidden levers of Europe’s internal political debate. Europeans must have the freedom to communicate with one another without foreign censorship and interference. This crisis is at least as urgent as rearmament."

Für Reisen in die #USA: #EU stattet Angestellte angeblich mit #Wegwerfhandys aus

"Aus Sorge vor US-#Spionageangriffen hat die EU-Kommission Angestellten Wegwerfhandys gegeben, berichtet eine Zeitung. Brüssel hat das nur teilweise dementiert.

Die Financial Times verweist noch darauf, dass #Grenzbeamte und -beamtinnen der USA das Recht haben, #Elektronik von Einreisenden zu #konfiszieren und zu #durchsuchen..."
