This is the reason why #Apple is withholding features or products from the #EU market and pretending the #DMA is the cause:

Apple expects their fanboys will do the #lobbying and pressuring for them and that's an ugly strategy.

@nprofile1q... Also, dear @nprofile1q..., you of all companies should know that you don't get to pick-and-choose the human rights you like and to whom they can apply. Your CEO (and in extension the company) is either supporting *all* human rights universally for *all people*, including the right to asylum and to live free of discrimination, or you don't support them at all.

You can't just support #privacy and #FreeSpeech, shit on the rest and claim to be pro-human rights.

Maybe if all legislative work had to happen outdoors or in rooms without AC we'd have more impactful climate policies.

To all do-gooders and #Gutmenschen among the #AI experts:

Last chance to apply for one of the very rare Senior #Policy Advisor positions in my team at @nprofile1q.... It's a high-impact role in a fantastic work environment that takes care of its staff.

#Wsocial : We don't do #ElonMusk. #Nazis are very welcome on our platform but they must be European.

@nprofile1q... President: Yay, we'll join Wsocial the new European unicorn or something! 🎉

Brilliant analysis by @nprofile1q... and @nprofile1q... of how much money large corporations spend on influencing laws in Europe.

No surprise: #BigTech dominates again.

I mean the @nprofile1q... really should not grant any company 1-2 high-level #lobbying meetings every month for 12 years straight. This can only lead to dangerous over-representation.

This week I spoke to a room full of non-techy NGO people and for the first time there were more folks with #Fediverse than #Threads accounts in the room 🎉
