Alaa Abdel Fattah is finally free. His release is the result of tireless efforts by his family, human rights defenders, and countless allies across our community. It’s a powerful reminder that persistence matters, and that digital rights are human rights, inseparable from the broader struggle for freedom and dignity. Alaa once told us: “You Have Not Yet Been Defeated.” Today, we celebrate those words and carry them with us into the struggles still ahead.

Across the Atlantic, Trump was busy threatening EU tech rules. 🎂 Meanwhile, the AI Act turned one, but even it, along with the GDPR, DSA & more, now faces the chopping block. But we’re fighting back - and you can read all about it in our latest newsletter ➡️
