“…being online did not make most people more aggressive or hostile; rather, it allowed a small number of aggressive people to attack a much larger set of victims. Even a small number of jerks were able to dominate discussion forums.” theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

Crazy - Zuckerberg also goes Musk! “Europe has an increasing number of laws institutionalizing censorship” It’s really time we stop tech oligarchs auctioning out free speech to the highest bidder - or even worse - to themselves!
I just sent a letter to @HennaVirkkunen of the European Commission to ask if Musk’s use of X is legal under the DSA. If you know the DSA better than me, feel free to voice your thoughts below!

What's happening in Georgia is not just an isolated case of domestic issues. It’s part of the same hybrid war in Europe that we’ve been facing from Russia for a long time. My op-ed on the situation in 🇬🇪: elpnariai.lt/en/r-juknevicie…

Linke & FDP sind ca. 1pp von unserem Europawahlergebnis entfernt… Warum werden „Sonstige“ nicht aufgeschlüsselt? Müssen wir wieder klagen, damit wir fair behandelt werden?

Russian regime hoped that the New Year would divert attention from the protest but... how wrong the Georgian Nightmare was. The fight continues, and Georgia will be free. / Video by Ezz Gaber.

🇬🇪President Salome @Zourabichvili_S decision to leave the Presidential Palace demonstrates profound strength and vision. While the building holds no historical or political significance, her legitimacy as Georgia’s only rightful President remains unshaken. This is not a retreat—it’s a strategic move that avoids unnecessary theatrics and focuses on the bigger fight: dismantling the Georgian Dream regime through persistence at home and pressure abroad. President Zourabichvili is now leading by example, consolidating public resources and focusing on solutions that matter: ensuring new elections free from fraud, strengthening independent media, supporting victims of repression, and engaging directly with the Georgian people and businesses. Her legitimacy is rooted in the will of the people, not in walls or symbolic buildings. As she carries her mission forward, Georgians and their international allies must stand resolute in their demands: sanctions, non-recognition of the regime, and unwavering support for her presidency. This marks a new chapter of hope and resistance for Georgia. The regime can—and will—collapse under the combined weight of internal dissent and international pressure. President Zourabichvili’s leadership ensures that democracy’s flame burns bright in Georgia’s darkest hour.

🇬🇪On Dec 30, significant legislative changes were signed by "President" Kavelashvili. These laws introduce new restrictions on protests and public administration. 🧵GD is digging in and giving a middle finger to those urging them to "consider the possibility of new elections" /17
