We still did the duck and cover under the desks in Elementary school with the bomb siren testings.

Don't want to say it but if you're under 30... yeah, you're snowflakes. Adult snowflakes crying over spilt milk where the most minor of infractions is apparently a Code Red Alarm.

This online event has been organised by the CNT-E and IWW-WISERA as part of a presentation on the meaning of the Social Revolution that broke out in Spain.

Das EU-Parlament hat für die anlasslose Massenüberwachung per Chatkontrolle 1.0 gestimmt.

Nachdem die Chatkontrolle zunächst auf Eis gelegt zu sein schien, hat die konservative Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola (EVP) Ende Juni ein Eilverfahren für eine neue Abstimmung in die Wege geleitet, nachdem sie sich erst im Mai mit Tech-Bros von Überwachungskonzernen wie Meta getroffen hatte.

Die heutige Eil-Abstimmung im EU-Parlament fand wohl gezielt sehr knapp vor der Sommerpause statt, so dass durch die Abwesenheit einiger MEPs nicht die notwendige Mehrheit für eine Ablehnung anwesend war, während eine rechtskonservative Mehrheit für die Einführung stimmte.

Mit der von der Kommission vorangebrachten Chatkontrolle möchte die Europäische Union eine tiefgreifende, anlasslose Massenüberwachung der privaten Kommunikation fast aller Menschen durchsetzen, indem eine erweiterbare Infrastruktur errichtet wird, die Inhalte direkt auf den Geräten scannt und somit auch Verschlüsselung umgehen kann, sowie Alterskontrollen einführen soll. Lobbyist*innen aus der Techbranche und Behörden stehen hinter diesem Vorgehen, während Ausnahmen bei der Massenüberwachung für Behördenmitarbeiter*innen vorgesehen sind.

AKA, kicking the US out of the bid.
Next, Canada should open some Crown Corporations and undertake the "Tausend kleine Dinge/1000 Little Things" manufacturing initiative as the DDR did in the 60's to fill the gaps & help Canada reduce its reliance on US imports.

The Carney government quietly cancelled the second phase of a long-standing competition to provide the army with light utility vehicles and intends to "invite a limited number of Canadian suppliers" to bid directly.

In the EU, social media platforms are accountable for their addictive designs.

Our investigation of Instagram and Facebook shows Meta has not adequately assessed the risks of features such as infinite scroll, auto-play, push notifications, and recommender systems.

Meta can now exercise its right to defence before these preliminary findings are confirmed.

The federal government’s proposed “Defence, Security and Resilience Bank” sounds technocratic and reassuring. It’s not. This is an international war bank that:

- Doubles down on militarizing our economy
- Sidesteps transparency and public scrutiny
- Requires massive cuts to the public services that actually keep us safe

Canada needs a modern and well-equipped military. But we do not need a war bank that will further enrich weapons contractors, especially American ones, that profit from death, destruction, and global instability.
