In 1950, a generation made a promise. 76 years later, we are still keeping it.

In the skies, at sea, online. In negotiating rooms and conflict zones. The EU's day-to-day work happens far from the headlines but close to the people who need it most.

Because rights and values do not defend themselves. And we are not watching from the sidelines.

Happy Europe Day. 🇪🇺

Is there a realistic path forward for a #digitalEurope that is different from the hostile dystopia engineered by US #bigtech ?

It is unclear, but on this #europeday some thoughts and speculations on whether European #digitalsovereignty is a pie in the sky or something that might actually happen.

First, digital society is built on silicon stuff. In hardware, Europe is at best a small part of a US dominated supply chain. This means debilitating, eventually terminal long-term dependency.

Europe is our home. Digital resilience is our mission. 🇪🇺

Happy #EuropeDay to everyone working to keep the Union secure!

Europe Day is the perfect moment to reclaim our digital space and make it truly European, open and democratic. 🇪🇺
Like the European project, the Fediverse is built on diversity, cooperation and solidarity, not monopolies and surveillance capitalism. 🤝
That is the spirit of European Network Dynamics: an independent, community‑driven node where you own your data, control your identity and help build a real European digital public sphere. 🌍💪

I wonder: Is this what Schuman wanted? "EU calls VPNs a loophole that needs closing"

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the 🇪🇺

We chose Europe because there is a "we": a collective identity that remains hidden from us until we come together, but becomes irreversibly evident when we do. That "we" is our greatest strength. 🇪🇺

On Europe Day, I wanted to write about the experience that made the European Project so important to me, and why I think it's our greatest strength in the challenging world we live in.

Happy Europe Day! 🇪🇺

The Summer That Made Me European

If you’ve read anything I’ve written, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’ve always been pro-European, but (and it pains me to admit this), I was once a Union-Jack touting, Nigel Farage-loving teenager in the midst of a full-blown puberty-fuelled identi…

Happy #EuropeDay!

The #EU's wonderful motto is: "United in diversity"¹ – That fits perfectly with what the #OpenSocialWeb #OpenSource & the #Fediverse can do: sovereign collaboration to foster technical & social #innovation.

🤝 The #EU & #Fediverse are true social networks.

We are therefore delighted that the @EUCommission has prioritised @Mastodon over #X, as this is in line with EU's objectives & values!👍 #ThankYou!

Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!
What's that first platform there? Could that be #Mastodon?
And where did the link to #X go?
All the posts and comments here on Mastodon calling for this, trust me we read them!

I love watching poorly socialised men (shush, you know it) beg for attention under each Eurobarometer post. 😏

Meanwhile, I know who the 🇪🇺 prime mover of being full of shit is. My fellow EUropeans, telling the nice Eurostat caller things that make you feel good about yourself is cheap. Voting is the ultimate revealed preference. And you keep voting for majority majorly shit national governments that keep their knee on the EU's neck.

Happy #EuropeDay !

Europe was built on a simple promise: freedom, rights, equality.

Democracy must be defended every day - with facts & knowledge.

Without science, facts fade; without facts, democracy weakens.

Invest in science. Protect democracy.
