The need for European digital sovereignty cannot be overstated.
Watching the rollout of speech laws like the “online safety act” in the UK makes me rather dubious of the wisdom of that idea.

#13Be aware that neowin.net has facebook . com and .net scripts to tell them you visited the site. It is not just this site. This is plague and has to be stopped.
Just use noscript and a separate browser for malicious sites like fb and ig. It might seem painfull at first, but you'll quickly end up with with a web that is better than before.
No. Just use blabla is not enough. Sites which do that should be denounced.

#14Microsoft. Microsoft never changes.

#15I don't really see the story here. Just the LibreOffice dev got locked out of his account. Seems like an automated system that failed, which isn't exactly a revelation that false positives occur. Feels like this is meant to stir up OS war drama and make it seem like Microsoft is trying to prevent LibreOffice from succeeding.

#16Large marketplace platforms need to be regulated to have due process.
When hundreds or thousands of companies live and die by your platform, you can't just close accounts arbitrarily.
Either that or you get split up for monopoly. Take your pick, but this shit doesn't work

Best of luck.

And that just in the UK. For the EU's own shenanigans, we have persistent attempts such as these examples of fuckery:

There have been many, many other examples over recent years. Anyone making any claim to the superiority of the EU regulation state in how it respects digital rights for individuals is full of shit or sheerly ignorant.

People don't realize how fragile this makes things.
Requiring an online ID to log into a local computer creates all sorts of vulnerabilities. When Microsoft gets hacked again, it can let hackers lock you out of your computer. It's basically ransomware-in-waiting.

#20As I hear stories of Apple, Google, and Microsoft revoking valuable access, I remember this article... "Don’t build your castle in other people’s kingdoms." https://howtomarketagame.com/2021/11/01/dont-build-your-cast...
In this day and age, it is almost impossible for certain businesses not to build on someone's else kingdom.
Facebook, instagram, uber, lyft, doordash, instacart, and hundreds of unicorn businesses are literally built on top of ecosystems that are controlled by 2 or 3 companies.
