Today the EU Commission published the long-awaited Digital Networks Act. We analysed it immediately. Our first take: dangerous. The proposal threatens #NetNeutrality, weakens independent regulators, and opens the door to network fees. epicenter.works/en/content/t...

Über digitalen Humanismus reden Politiker gerne in Wien. SPö Verkehrsminister Hanke „tut“ jetzt mehr - als Regierungsmitglied.
Innenstadtüberwachung einführen. Flächendeckend.

#Messengerüberwachung macht uns nicht sicherer, im Gegenteil: Verfassungswidrigkeit und Gefahren dräuen.
Dass NEOS zur MÜ in Verhandlung tritt- dagegen sprachen sich Kollege Scherak und ich aus.
Dies aufgrund vieler grundsätzlicher Bedenken (siehe auch die vielen Stellungnahmen der Begutachtung). 🧵

Landmark ruling on digital divide in Slovakia! A Roma child successfully sued the government because COVID-19 distance learning failed to take into account the lack of internet & computers. The digital public infrastructure evangelists should listen… #eID poradna-prava.sk/en/news/ladm...
Was ist Netzneutralität und worüber diskutieren wir in der Debatte? Wer hat welche Interessen und was hat das mit einem offenen Netz zu tun?
Darüber habe ich mit Thomas Lohninger @socialhack.bsky.social) für den Netzpolitik-Podcast gesprochen.

Die letzte LNP zu #eIDAS zeigt einmal mehr, welch großartige Arbeit @socialhack.bsky.social und die Teams von epicenter.works und edri.org leisten. Für mich sind die Fördermitgliedschaften dort wie eine Versicherung für digitale Grundrechte ✊
#NetNeutrality is a global issue. The indivisibility of the net is what’s at stake. Meaningful connectivity for all is the goal. This is a battle worth fighting and with every attack more people join our side.
The Commission will issue a white paper in February 2024, but we can expect no legal proposal in this term. The next sock puppet of the Telcos in the Commission – Breton or his successor – will surely try again, but it will be a more uphill battle for them and we will win again.
With todays Telecom Minister meeting in Leon the EU debate on network fees aka. fair share is finally over. Ministers issue statements distancing themselves. Even Bretons’ speech makes no attempt. We saved #NetNeutrality in the EU once more. Brazil, India & USA are next.
Konsultation zur Datenmaut:

It’s no coincidence that after an unprecedented ~5 month wait the Commission releases the results of their exploratory consultation *today*. While the summary report tries to hide it, raw data proves the huge opposition from all corners of society! digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/r...
We won this battle, but not the war. Network Fees are dead in Europe until the EU election next year. #NetNeutrality was saved for now. Debates in Brazil, India & USA continue. And if @ThierryBreton stays Commissioner, we will have to fight even harder. www.reuters.com/technology/e...
I know Commissioner Thierry Breton has to keep up the theater, but by now everybody sees the emperor has no cloths. The power grab has failed and telcos lost a huge part of their political capital in Europe. The world watches.
We know the reports analysing the consultation must be finished by now because the tender included a strict timeline. etendering.ted.europa.eu/cft/cft-display.html
Surprisingly today the Commission pushes the release of the consultation responses and reports analysing those after the summe break. Usually responses are released in days after consultations close and here we have been waiting for over two months already!
This is so lovely. Italy stabs the telcos in the back and justifies it in full!
Now we have a blocking *majority* in EU council against #NetworkFees and for #NetNeutrality! 😹
Hi there, I‘m new here. Any tipps how to make this interesting?
