@datum @pluralistic Pharmaceutical companies in the #EU are required by law to have a "qualified Person" (QP). Their sole purpose is to sign of the entire (incredible complex) manufacturing process of the drugs the company produces every day and take the blame (i.e. get fired) in case of errors or costly product recalls.

Overseeing and signing of #ai processes however, sounds even worse, as it is literally impossible for a person to understand the inner workings of the black box...

If you are interested in (and possibly want to fight) the #EU #DigitalOmnibus simplification / deregulation agenda: @socialhack and I will give a talk at the #39C3 on 27th December. https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2025/fahrplan/event/throwing-your-rights-under-the-omnibus-how-the-eu-s-reform-agenda-threatens-to-erase-a-decade-of-digital-rights

Ms Kallas is dangerously deluded if this is her analysis of the situation. The #EU cannot sleepwalk into accepting a Russian/American takeover. It will be a gross betrayal of everythingthe EU was created to work against. US still EU's biggest ally, says Kallas https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/1206/1547592-us-eu-politics/

Given its pretty clear the EU has no intention of giving the UK an easy time in 'reset' negotiations (and who can be surprised by that after the toxic politics of Brexit), the idea of moving towards negotiations to (re)join the custom union (and eventually the EU) assumes the EU would have the UK back on terms that are (politically) acceptable to the UK.

We can argue around this for ever, but my general feeling is (now at least) the gap is too wide for a negotiated settlement.

Elon Musk's social media platform X has been fined €120m by the #EU over its blue tick badges - despite US warnings about doing so.

The European Commission said by allowing people to pay for a blue verified check mark on their profile, the platform "deceives users" because the firm is not "meaningfully verifying" who is behind the account.

#Europe is so cucked & owned by Zionists that they would rather have actual European countries like #Spain, the #Netherlands, #Ireland & #Slovenia not be in #Eurovision than block the genocidal Israeli death-cult, which is not even in Europe, from using it as propaganda for itself

#boycot #eurovision #israel belongs not to #europe but to the middle east. Let them compete with muslim dictatorship. They also cheated two times with a failed voting system. They had also used political pressure through there ambassadors on #eu countries. They are a lieing war mongering country with no respect to human rights. Always play the victim by misuse the #holocaust.

People in Europe are talking a lot about Eurovision, but not nearly enough about the looming threat of chat control. Where is the media on chat control? Mass surveillance on all #EU citizens (oh, except the politicians of course) which goes against the codified values of the EU. #Eurovision is a nice cultural unifying event to have, when our fundamental rights are not actively being undermined.
