Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll talk about the takeover of social media by illiberal, populist influencers. For the last ten years, social media has been dominated by these voices and it is one of the main reasons for the political rise of people like Trump and Orban.

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported.

It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.

Super Kirsten, dankjewel!

Dankjewel Heleen!

Ik vroeg me af, wordt jouw lijst ook naar het Engels vertaald? Misschien is er al wel zoiets voor Amerikaanse lezers, maar ben ‘m nog niet tegengekomen. Het is ontzettend goede informatie en verdient een groter publiek, vind ik.

WhatsApp vreest voor Signal, slaat plank mis met charmeoffensief - Signalapp.nl Met een charmeoffensief in Nederlandse media probeert WhatsApp de groei van Signal te stoppen. Er zijn echter grote verschillen tussen WhatsApp en Signal.

In tegenstelling tot #Signal, kan #WhatsApp 🤥 alles van je zien: je profielfoto, info over jezelf, groepsnamen, en omschrijvingen van community’s en groepen (zie privacybeleid WhatsApp: www.whatsapp.com/legal/privac...)

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

History Professor Answers Dictator Questions | Tech Support | WIRED YouTube video by WIRED

Everyone should watch this video by @wired.com and @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social . It clearly explains fascism and dictatorship through key questions, showing how these systems work, their warning signs, and how to avoid their traps. Really well done.

Heel goed! Als dit van de grond komt, is het dan de bedoeling om vanuit de overheid een dienst te ontwikkelen die ook toegankelijk is voor particulieren, of sluiten jullie aan bij al bestaande clouddiensten in Europa?

Wat een prachtig verhaal, bedankt!

BBC Meta stops ex-director from promoting critical memoir

Careless People was released in the US, where it is number six on the Amazon chart, on Tuesday. It was published in the UK on Thursday. In a statement, a spokeswoman for Macmillan said: "As publishers, we are committed to upholding freedom of speech and her right to tell her story. Due to legal process instituted by Meta, the author has been prevented from continuing to participate in the book's publicity."

I feel this should get more publicity…

Oklahoma proposes teaching standards suggesting 2020 election ‘discrepancies’ A new social studies agenda approved by the education board would require high-schoolers to review baseless claims related to President Trump’s 2020 election loss.

Zo leuk 🥰

Goed dat hier wat meer aandacht voor is! Er zijn wel Europese intiatieven (ik gebruik zelf al jaren pCloud bijvoorbeeld, ben er heel tevreden over). Het probleem is m.i. toch vooral onbekendheid, gewoonte en gemak (mensen zien de noodzaak vaak niet om over te stappen).

Meanwhile, in Rome: demonstration in support of Europe

RFE/RL President: Defunding Would be “Massive Gift to America’s Enemies” Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) was informed today by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) that its federal grant agreement, which funds RFE/RL’s global operations, has been terminated.

Trump closes down Radio Liberty which transmitted western news to dictatorships.

Putin wins again.
