Danke an meine Heimatgemeinde Edingen-Neckarhausen, die in diesem Brief nochmal deutlich macht, warum Deutschland ein Internetentwicklungsland ist und bleiben wird. Übrigens konnte ich auch nicht herausfinden, mit wem von #Freifunk sie angeblich gesprochen hatten…
The EU is about to update #Article13 to force sites to use YouTube-style content filters on all uploads.
This is a terrible idea:
