If you're saying we should ditch #Firefox due to #Mozilla's decisions, this is the world #map you're advocating for. #browser

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.

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.

Great news! The 🇩🇪 #privacy organisation @digitalcourage sues the 🇩🇪 railway company Deutsche Bahn for using non-essential trackers in its ticket booking app without the user's consent, violating the #GDPR!
