Consider this: The #EU has just won 2 court cases against big tech. Yet these do not get continuous MSM attention. The USA banning #TikTok is wall-to-wall even here in Europe. We need to celebrate our wins more, not obsess about USA (frankly) incompetence.
"**the European Court of Justice gave the Union's regulators two major victories in their ongoing battles with tech giants, judging that #Apple and #Google must pay over €15 billion in total"**
⛔️🇺🇸This is what Ukrainian media gets for constantly labeling an “invasion” as a “war”:
Trump spreads Russian propaganda by blaming Ukraine and President Zelensky for being invaded, says “war” is equally culpable (more)

Today, we have opened formal proceedings against TikTok for a suspected breach of the Digital Services Act.
Following serious indications that foreign actors interfered by using TikTok in the Romanian presidential elections, we are now thoroughly investigating whether TikTok has violated the DSA by failing to tackle such risks.
We must protect our democracies from any foreign interference.

A message from Canadians:🇨🇦
Dear 🌎 World:
There is no reason for Canada to even consider the possibility let alone discuss our position as a US state.
Let me quote our Prime Minister:
"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States," Trudeau "
And as a Canadian I am very annoyed whenever anyone brings up the possibility of us giving up our sovereignty.
I am not alone in feeling this, so please never ask again because some of us might not respond with a civilized reply.
Please boost this post--thanks

Energy in Europe?
Clean, affordable, and European.
Just in the third quarter of 2024:
☀️ Solar power generation went up by 23%
🌬️ Offshore wind power rose 21%, while onshore rose by 2%
🌊 Hydropower grew by 13%
⛽ Fossil fuel electricity went down by 11%
Now, we're ready to up the ante.
In February, we'll unveil a plan to boost investments in next-gen clean energy like fusion and geothermal, aiming for more energy independence and lower prices.

This weekend, the #BalticStates #Estonia, #Latvia, and #Lithuania will disconnect from the #Brell power grid that has connected them to #Russia and #Belarus for the last 80 years. The will connect to the synchronous grid of Continental #Europe - the largest synchronous power grid in the world. This has been planned since 2018 and was affirmed by a decision of the #EU in 2023.
During the procedure,all power lines to the Russian grid will be severed. The Baltic States will become a power island for about one day. During this time, their regional grid will be synchronized to the Eurpean grid before it can be connected to it through a new power line between #Lithuania and #Poland.
The operation is not without risk. In addition to technical challenges, #sabotage from #Russia is expected. The Baltic States have set up their military to protect their critical power infrastructure over the weekend.
As a result of the process, #Kaliningrad will also be cut off from the Russian grid and become a power island for the foreseeable future.

Very interesting food for thought:
"Managing the Transatlantic Divorce: A roadmap towards a European way of war"
Warning: May make an uncomfortable read but IMHO we have to face reality as is, not as we wish it to be.
Security lies at the heart of everything we do.
Our visit to the Polish Presidency of the Council in 🇵🇱 Gdańsk has underscored our unwavering resolve to ensure our preparation to face more complex and diverse threats.
Including:
🔹 A surge in defence: spending more, better, together.
🔹 Making preparedness our guide for everything we do.
🔹 Competitiveness to be less vulnerable to coercion or dependence.
We know we can count on Poland's European spirit.

Blogbeitrag: Die vergangenen Wochen waren sehr aufwühlend. Hass, Missgunst und Meinungsverschiedenheiten kochen hoch und schäumen über. Darum möchte ich mit diesem Artikel daran erinnern, dass wir alle selber aktiv werden können. Es fängt bei uns an. Wir stehen in Europa an einem Scheideweg und wir haben die Chance uns dafür zu entscheiden, welche Welt wir kommenden Generationen übergeben möchten.
