Digital sovereignty becomes real when it can be measured and applied.

The Commission's Cloud Sovereignty Framework provides practical criteria for evaluating cloud services and shows how public procurement can strengthen Europe's digital resilience.

@EUCommission If there is an aim for AI, I hope there is a proposal for sustainable data-centers.
Then I would be worried which data would it be gathering to teach those AI models.

As for Open-Source, is there a plan for migration from Windows to GNU/Linux or FreeBSD and a requirement for phone manufacturers to allow users to install on their phones different operating systems with ease, (e.g. how it works on most laptops)?

If yes then splendid. 👍

@EUCommission Would be lovely if you've started a @peertube instance of your own as alternative to your YouTube account.

@EUCommission I hope we realize that 33% men & women & intersex in jobs while being literally equal can do more harm if enforced as a quota.

@EUCommission Also, the one think that I like the soviet union was doing were the evacuation tests. Although the potential need for evacuation rather then being bombed bombed is fire, but I've experience a very light preventive evacuation test and only a few times. Lets introduce that back to schools.

@EUCommission Migration to #OpenSource would certainly improve resiliency.

@EUCommission This could be, although incorrectly, summarized just as USA wants isolation so we shall grant it.

@EUCommission Lets not introduce the #IDVerification that endangers them, as well as their parents, in the digital landscape.

@EUCommission
That is unfortunately not the case.

I'm unsure if you're oblivious to it or intentionally lying, but #DigitalOmnibus is damaging GDPR and is damaged rather in favor of big-tech.

@EUCommission How unfortunate that #DigitalOmnibus weakens GDPR.

@EUCommission While I appreciate this, the sentence "ignoring consumer data choices" is funny while we are forcing sensitive data to be exposed via #IDVerification

Fighting monopolies is one thing, but shall be done properly.

One example would be Valve's Steam store. It is rather a monopoly and even most Valve fans agree on this, however, it has little to no competition. Other provide less features & worse experience.

So we shall embrace competition than just blindly "fight" monopolies.

@EUCommission Great that noone is trying to make these technologies and the internet inaccessible via #IDVerification

Well, almost.

@EUCommission I enjoy (I don't) how the Mastodon comparison is only used here on fediverse.

@EUCommission Lets continue and invest into Geothermal PowerPlants to have more clean energy and to also gain the ability to mine minerals.

@EUCommission

"Because we protect what matters. Our freedoms, our rights, our democracy."

Humble #digitalomnibus

@EUCommission Yes please! Let's make public transport more convenient and move people more efficiently at lower ecological costs.

Lets also implement the ETCS control system.

@EUCommission 92% wanting something is a one thing, but how many % do agree on which method?

@EUCommission Now to start building geothermal power-plants which can gain is not only energy but minerals as well.

Then we'd need less nuclear power-plants -> No need to buy Uranium from Russia -> Not financing Russian aggression

(It would also solve the question of "what do we do with the nuclear waste")

RE: https://eupolicy.social/@hpod16/116538344713848285

A small step for the @EUCommission ... Or a mastodonic one? 👀

@EUCommission That's great. 👍

@EUCommission

Interesting how
"Over half of Europeans trust the EU
51% of Europeans trust the EU."
is not mentioned.

@EUCommission Wouldn't simplifying* building regulations be of more help?
(Or at least shortening the waiting times.)

(Edit:)
*This is what I mean by simplfication:

Meanwhile those with uncensored AI models locally on their device.

@EUCommission Then it would be nice if you'll stop with #digitalomnibus , #ChatControl 2.0, ID verification and similar changes that exposes the identities of these free press journalists.

@EUCommission The link isn't clickable, by the way.

@EUCommission There are two things.

1. It shouldn't be META's responsibility in this case. You do not jail a store because they failed to keep the shop-lifters away.

2. On the other hand, if they are spying on any user (even not their users) then they are sure to have the age estimates of their users and thus be able to filter them.

From all the reasons, however, I found the inability to filter users that are underaged to be the least concerning.

@EUCommission Actually what is that picture there?

Why is there a Jack??!?!

Ok, guys, I won't judge. But can the person using Jack to charge their laptop confess?

@EUCommission How does producing different type of cable decrease waste?

Yeah, if you have USB-C then you do not need a new one.

Not to mention the different types of USB-C cables.

So the only way to reduce e-waste in cable production is to not include cables with the purchased devices.

Yes, it is more convenient for me to need just one cable, but I'd say that the Microslops artificial Windows 11 requirements produced much more e-waste than the cables in span of multiple years.

@EUCommission I do not think that #DigitalOmnibus is better.

Also why now? And why does it start with ICT when there's so much to simplify in regards to agriculture?

Yeah, it would be great if regular citizens would be able to read laws without needing ten lawyers, but why do I think it will result in still unreadable laws, just easier to exploit?

@EUCommission Nice. Hopefully these people are being taught #OpenSource and user-respecting software as well and the importance of it.

@EUCommission Hopefully there will be investments to geothermal power-plants.

@EUCommission While I appreciate you are here, more can be certainly done. Just having fediverse social-sites like mastodon as one of the three first shown "share options" on EU sites.

By the way, would you be interested in having a PeerTube mirror for your YouTube videos?

It is part of the fediverse too.

@EUCommission
This is happening offline as well.

Shall everyone verify with their ID that they can go outside?

Education and social-site algorithm regulation.

@EUCommission With Hungary's new prime minister hopefully Ukraine will receive more aid including military aid.

@EUCommission If "it is for the parents to raise their children", why do we have an ID verification app?

It is open-source, but is the back-end?

Highest privacy standard?
With #digitalomnibus I doubt that.

Just do not interfere with the privacy and usability of internet due to incompetent parents.

Also, what use doea ID verification app have when parents can it so their child can access the net?
Or the children using it without the knowledge of their parent?

@EUCommission As unbrakable as Brexit was.

@EUCommission Is it energy independence which will be accomplished and managed with the use of non-EU closed-source proprietary hardware & software?

@EUCommission If only Orban wouldn't be blocking most of the help.

@EUCommission We'll have to see how strong will the US connection remain in the future.

@EUCommission And how exactly do you plan your budgets for all those that are replaced with AI?

Also thank you for supporting AI, I really love speaking to AI instead of human on Customer Support.
It works exactly how one would expect - it doesn't.

Yes, we shall innovate in AI, but not fund its adoption in industry. That's on those who use it.

Use the money for defense and moving from Microslop's & Google's products to Open-Source

@EUCommission
"Roma communities deserve equality and full rights as Europeans."

Wait, is there legislative inequality, or just social one?

@EUCommission Privacy is basic right as well.

@EUCommission @hauntshade It is. If a parent gives phone to children at young age and let them do whatever they want without explaining the risks of being online, they failed as a parent.

Also, the "platforms are responsible to ensure users safety" is quite vaque.

@EUCommission We shall for sure form a society-wide effort to educate older generations regarding not only this, but scams as well.

But I'm a bit of skeptical with the rules.
Don't get me wrong, we shall sanction deepfakes. But the law doesn't protect uneducated on all the scams / fakes to not fall victim to those. They can at most sanction the one who did it, if we'd be able to find the culprit.

We should put a huge emphasis on education.

@EUCommission

First:
How can we expect for these companies (like Meta) to effectively combat disinformation if they're making money out of it via engagement?

Second:
How are we able to control billions of user & bot post?
Do not suggest AI. Too harmful to nature and it won't work, it might make things actually worse.
Identity verification? Yeah, we might install facial recognition cameras like China does.

(Also if we are so for open internet why are Federated social sites at the bottom?)

@EUCommission Awesome.

We indeed should extend our solidarity to non-EU nations if possible and viable.

I would tho like to point that we should also prioritize making EU independent as much as possible and focus on our defense.

@EUCommission Surely they weren't thinking of creating #ChatControl 1.0 & 2.0 and Digital Omnibus in that era.

https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

@EUCommission That is nice and all, but I still don't see Digital Omnibus repeled and still see the push for #ChatControl 1.0
https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

@EUCommission So I got 4th notification of this being posted what is going on?

@EUCommission Awesome, I really like this.

Lets now repel the mess Digital Omnibus enables with the simplification of GDPR and think of more meaningful way.

(Or if we want to simplify regulations, lets first start with the regulatory mess regarding agriculture)
