From EUmail to EuTube and Feuerfox, it's time for #EU + national govt to put money where European tech development is and help wean the continent off #UStech - fantastic, practical piece by @bert_hubert.

I'm sure it's all part of #Dementia #Trump plans to destroy international relations and the global economy.

This is a long shot:
I'm trying to find a #NGO based in #Paris focusing on teen dating violence and/or consent (IPV).
I will be in Paris April 7th & 8th.
I want to briefly meet & share our free resources & let others know about our unique work to help adolescents. (I'm speaking at Games for Health Europe in Eindhoven & returning via Paris.)
I founded a nonprofit org in 2006.
We hope to collaborate with groups in France -- especially while France is working on issues about #consent.
We have an innovative program using prosocial video games to engage young people (11 - 23). We want to find a group in France interested in making these games available in French.
I've been interviewed by France24 about our innovative games about consent.
One of our consent games was made into a lifesize exhibit at a museum in Australia.
We worked with WorldVision to create a game about consent for young people in Vanuatu.
Over 20,000 folks / year learn about consent through our free games.
Please let me know if you have questions -- and please share with groups / instances who might know somebody who knows somebody.

Europe faces the risk of becoming almost entirely dependent on foreign technology within three years unless it radically changes its approach to supporting the domestic tech sector, a coalition of more than 80 organisations has warned.

As the new #USTacticalNuclearWeapons have been stored in #EU (#Italy has the highest number), and Macron *offered* to extend the French nuclear umbrella to EU, look at the North-South nuclear divide

Seven EU countries back a Czech plan to fund Radio Free Europe.
The Czech Republic initiated talks with EU partners about funding Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which is headquartered in the Czech capital, following cuts to US support.
@w7voa could this be hastily replaced with a rebranding to Voice of Europe with financing from #EU @EUCommission maybe could whisper this in the ear of the politicians?
@randahl Right. But the last attacks are very huge with no explanation why. Have the houthi’s lately attacking? I think it’s turning the attention of inside #us happenings or it’s a pretext for a full war with #israel on #iran. Notice, not invading but serious bombing. #usa had recently send a Maas of their bunkerbusters to israel and to their ships. I think #eu countries and #uk and #canada must redres their ships. We must not support the #us in a war on #iran
Can we skip WWIII and go directly to the Nuremberg Trials .
Joining the #European #propaganda team. Here you go: a short guide on how to become a digitally sovereign European citizen.
If I didn't have a kid and wasn't unemployed and broke, I'd seriously look at immigrating to somewhere in Europe. But it really feels like an impossibility at the moment. It feels financially like an impossibility to just decide to move internationally, unless the perfect storm of employment sponsorships or something happens it doesn't reply feel like something you can just "choose" to do. Also apart from the financial aspects, I have a small child who doesn't understand the geopolitical landscape, who likes their school and friends, who is already pretty far from their grandparents that they love (for better or worse), who wouldn't understand why we wanted to move and isn't old enough to understand the benefits of living in and experiencing different cultures throughout your life. What they would understand is how hard changing everything about your life is and how difficult change can be.

#CPPotD Canadian Politics Poll of the Day - Mark Carney Goes to Europe Edition!
I have been supportive of talk of Canada joining the EU, but I admit, I feel a little... conflicted.. about this quotable quote from PM Mark Carney today alongside President Macron.
What was your reaction to Carney saying we are "The most European of Non-European Countries”?

US #tech benefited from having the world as its addressable market. Then China started closing its doors as its increasingly authoritarian government became increasingly protectionist and expansionist. Then Russia followed China. Now, an increasingly authoritarian US is behaving increasingly protectionist and expansionist, forcing the #EU to become increasingly protectionist. Authoritarianism produces reciprocal tech-nationalism. US tech’s addressable market is shrinking.

Ukraine is a sovereign nation and is not giving anything to the invader, war criminal, mass murderer. Where are the US and UK who guaranteed Ukraine's security and sovereignty?
Do not repeat the putin propaganda that Ukraine is giving anything. Putin must abide by the Minsk agreement and Budapest Memorandum.
1. Ukraine enters the EU.
2. Ukraine enters NATO.
3. Russia will withdraw to pre-2014
boundaries.
4. Russia will return all kidnapped children and POWs.
5. Russia will pay to rebuild Ukraine.
6. Putin surrenders to ICC to stand trial for his war crimes against Ukraine.
War criminal Putin GTFO of Ukraine.
"Companies spanning areas including cloud, telecoms, defence, along with several regional business and startup associations, have put their names to the letter — which was sent to the Commission on Sunday — urging the bloc to switch its tech strategy onto a quasi-war footing by committing to support “sovereign digital infrastructure.”
The plan pushes for reducing reliance on foreign-owned Big Tech by actively fostering development of a so-called “Euro stack.” The European digital infrastructure pitch is not coming out of thin air — a Euro Stack paper written by, among others, the competition economist Cristina Caffarra was published in January fleshing out the strategy in some detail.
There has also been, over the last half year or so, a smattering of conference chatter turning over the potential for enterprising Europeans to seize a geopolitically fraught moment to press the case for the EU to adopt a digital industrial strategy that’s squarely focused on favoring local innovation."
