Good overview of the Belgian gov's data retention proposal, forcing platforms to provide metadata to authorities. This is important as it would result in a ban of those that don't - or can't - like Signal. As this proposal could spread to other EU member states, it needs to be fought at every turn, before it is too late https://edri.org/our-work/belgium-wants-to-ban-signal-a-harbinger-of-european-policy-to-come/

Of all the intensely stupid ways team loyalty and partisanship can express itself, I really don't think you could come up with one dumber than "Our nuclear brinkmanship isn't a problem because it'll be the other side who launches the first nuke" if you tried.

The individual carbon footprint is an invention by BP's marketing to shift the blame for climate change to consumers who put out way less pollution than big business.

@simonmaginn @TweetForTheMany Tbf, the last few years have had little regard for Jewish people. They’ve had their generational trauma weaponised for factional gain. If anything, the whole ‘scam’ has made Jewish people less safe, all to prevent mild redistributive economic reforms and an ethical foreign policy
