Enormous numbers of Russian troops are stationed on the Ukrainian border, various states have called on their citizens to leave #Ukraine, and experts believe an invasion is even conceivable in the coming days.
As a data #privacy and civil liberties community, we must not close our eyes to the dramatic escalation of the #UkraineConflict. It is now up to us to resolutely commit to the adherence to international law and to rigorously condemn any breaches thereof.

Whenever Twitter is #down, people will recommend Mastodon as a better alternative since it's a federated system which can't go offline as a whole.
While #federation is great in terms of independence and resistance to censorship, I don't think #TwitterDown is the best argument to attract new #Mastodon users, since – for the individual user – it wouldn't make any difference whether #Twitter or the respective Mastodon home server is #offline.

Wir haben jetzt auch eine #PeerTube Instanz https://tube.bawü.social
Wir probieren PeerTube jetzt mal ausgiebig aus. Schaut gerne vorbei.
Cool, #Signal will get a “stories” feature, just like #WhatsApp, eliminating a major reason not to switch! And those who don't like stories can just disable them in the settings.

Attack on #PressFreedom in #Germany!
The online portal @fragdenstaat (”Ask The State”) sought to force former Chancellor Schröder to answer questions about his lobbying for #russian companies.
The court has now rejected the emergency appeal on the grounds that print publications are a prerequisite for press status.
This directly calls into question the raison d'être of public broadcasting, because according to this logic, TV and radio also do not qualify as press.
