I was provocative & passive aggressive against the former ambassador of the US to the OECD Karen Kornbluh, German Marshall Fund, today.
Sorry:
It was, cause it is what I feel is the only way to reach leaders now

Freezing the Open Tech Fund deeply hurts the Open Internet and the community of the world.
Following a long #EU #DigitalMarketsAct day I attended the press briefing (proprietary “Cisco WebEx”, who cares ?)
While an advertising service asked questions on, well, advertising, the civil society did not ask any questions

& we the people,
I demand
• Compulsory Interoperability based on Open Protocols –
enforce W3C recommendations for gatekeepers,
hear your experts
• Participation for the developers and advocates of Open Protocols, they do it for free for you while google gives 7mio. to destroy – participation for the civil society:

and last not least, I demand the official EU/US sites to shift from proprietary services to OpenSource, no need to use “Cisco WebEx” for briefings when we have better BigBlueButton and when EU adds security requirements and does a PR, we all benefit.
