EU Commission frantically trying to dodge the issue of illegal wiretapping by the government (party) in Greece. The Commission should be on the side of citizens and democracy, but instead it shields political allies.

Greek journos @ikostaki.bsky.social & Maria Psarra asked 🇪🇺EU Commission spox Markus Lammert about the 🇬🇷wiretapping scandal & the statements made by Tal Dilian that he “provides tech only to govts & law enforcement agencies.” More of the same from the Commission—failing to address the core of the Q.

The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. President-elect Trump and his conservative allies said they were pleased.

Time magazine has a long history of essentially trolling the world by naming dictators and strong men "person of the year." When Vladimir Putin won in 2007, one fan wrote him a particularly gushing letter.... his name was Donald Trump.
Gushing letter "I am a big fan of yours"

Where is Bluesky legally established in the EU what are its user numbers? Even modestly sized platforms need a page with such details as per the Digital Services Act. A spokesman for @ec.europa.eu said on Monday that the search is now on "for any trace" of @bsky.app in the EU's 27 member states.
