Creeped out by this? Good, you should be. It's exactly why we need strong and effective data protection policies across the board. Protection and privacy should be strengthened and made easier by default, not deregulated. Don't stop fighting for it, because the other side won't stop attacking it.

Lessons from our siblings in Brazil.

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

Er det på tide at folk gir avkall på partikanintendensene sine ennå, eller er det fortsatt sååååååå mye bra arbeid "internt" som foregår? For det ser ut som det stikk motsatte. Og nei, jeg kommer aldri til å glemme det klamme forsøket på å ro seg unna partikritikk helt gratis. Dagens Ap er søppel.

Anbefaler nok en smålig tråd, denne gangen knapt fem år forsinket, om at rusreformens fall ikke skyldes politisk spill, løgnkampanjer, politipropaganda eller grumsete allianser i medienorge. At alt var aktivistenes feil har blitt en kjepphest for kommentatorer som ikke bidro eller skjønte en dritt.

Anbefaler et sinna-komisk kommentarfelt. Så sinna at et fåtall forstod poenget. At diverse liberalister snakket om legalisering av alt fra hasj til psykedelika gjorde det ekstremt lett for motstanderne å få blokkert hele pakken. "Frislipp" osv ble brukt av motstanderne. De fikk Stortinget med seg.

Hva var den mest direkte årsaken til at rusreformen falt? At Ap stemte mot avkrim. Hvorfor stemte Ap mot? Fordi distrikts-Ap vant mot urban-Ap på Landsmøtet. Representanter fra distrikts-Ap hadde mobilisert kraftig mot avkrim samtidig som Ap lakk velgere til Sp som også var tydelige motstandere.

«Frislipp» blir brukt om avkriminalisering i rusreformen. «Frislipp» blir brukt om nedkriminalisering fra bot til forenklet forelegg. «Frislipp» blir brukt om sprøyterom. «Frislipp» blir brukt om heroinassistert behandling. Alt annet enn mer straff er «frislipp» for den gjengen.

Jeg tenker at hvis man er oppriktig interessert i å evaluere havariet til rusreformen så er @dagw.bsky.social sin gjennomgang den aller beste og grundigste. Hvis man ikke kan forskjellen på legalisering, avkriminalisering og tror at narkotika er ett rusmiddel er utgangspunktet krevende.

Dagens "gladsak" på narkotikafronten bygger altså på et klokkeklart lovbrudd når politiet søker i postsendinger uten hjemmel - noe forarbeidene til postloven er helt klare på er nødvendig, og dermed er søket også et klart brudd på Grunnloven § 102.

In this spirit, the DMA must be extended to social media. The European social media industry has been asking for this for the longest time. We know that we can take this market by storm if it is ever opened up to competition and freedom of movement.

Europe has made a sovereign choice: digital markets should be fair and contestable. 🇪🇺 Enforcing the Digital Markets Act means protecting that level playing field and creating the conditions for more companies to grow, innovate and compete in Europe.

This is where we are after two years of Europeans groveling to Trump. Europe has to change tack and start putting serious pressure on the US and on Putin. The US cannot both be a dominant NATO member and side with Putin. Europe has leverage, it should use it.

Europe needs to stop playing nice with the US out of silly nostalgic view of translatlanticism and/or fear. And the only way that happens is if we gather strength through renewed unity. Our trajectory must change.

Oljebransjen og regjeringen kjørte en stor lobbykampanje for å få EU til å si ja til nye olje- og gassprosjekter i Arktis. De norske oljeinteressene tapte, for EU sier nei. Nå prøver bransjen å gi inntrykk av at det ikke har så mye å si. Mitt innlegg i @dagensnaeringsliv.bsky.social i dag:

Det er jo ikke en spesielt god tråd. Monbiot unngår jo her fullstendig realitetene i at a) sionismen alltid har vært fundert på uttalt kolonialisme (Herzl), og b) at sionismen er et prosjekt som handler om rasebasert etno-nasjonalisme, som nødvendigvis derfor også er rasistisk.

Anything at all is more worthy of respect than unnecessarily declaring you actively have no substance or opinions besides clowning for money. Worthless and irrelevant since the early 80s anyway, but it's funny to see they're still peak douchebag posers. Overrated plastic rebels.

Finally read the new AfD strategy paper on Europe. It casts 2029 as a “historic window” to reorient the EU’s foundations through Treaty change, with a right-wing majority in the EP and a German government with AfD participation both within reach. Thread on some notable points:
