       The @EUCommission just released a statement positioning open source as central to #Europe’s #TechSovereignty.We couldn’t agree more. #OpenSource is critical to a robust and independent society.Here’s our full statement: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/06/europes-new-tech-strategy-puts-open-source-front-and-centre/#Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialWeb #OpenWeb #DigitalSovereignty

       We’re particularly delighted to see the @EUCommission include a call to “strengthen the open source social media space by supporting open and decentralised social media solutions and platforms. The Commission currently runs a #Mastodon instance, which hosts the Commission’s presence and plans to extend the users basis to EU institutions.”

       @EUCommission Also remember that the US has stopped funding the Open Technology Fund, and Europe could start funding all related projects like Signal, TOR, and F-Droid, used daily by over 2 billion people worldwide. We need not only technological sovereignty, but also encryption, anonymity, and independent app stores.https://www.agendadigitale.eu/sicurezza/privacy/il-destino-dellopen-technology-fund-dopo-i-tagli-di-trump-lue-puo-salvarlo/@Mastodon

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

       Regards to EU Commission:had this as a reply, its not about going through steps to do this, this HAS to happen. Get the social media and messaging apps to clean up their mess? Preventing kids from doing something won't stop them doing it, fix the source of the problem instead of prohibition.Another thing Social media knows which user are childern and 16 years old. I will say this again:GET childern to 16 years old OFF social media and messeger apps. <-- this is the big deal.

       @EUCommission @Mastodon Then please work harder to protect our intellectual property rights.Because right now I can't put any open source work online without it being scraped into the AI machine. Open source becomes a meaningless word without copyright protection.
