The decision was made after the members of the event organizer, the European Broadcast Union (EBU), voted to allow Israel to remain in the 2026 edition of the competition." #netherlands #nederland #eurovision #israel #freepalestine

i hope [@techlore]( ) or @npub12w65...2axu talks about Apple's new MIE (A19) to help spread the word about it. journalists, activists, politicians, lawyers all need to better understand the value of exploit mitigations, especially ones that significantly reduce successful attack chains by mercenary spyware companies. if you had to choose between MIE or Lockdown Mode, you want MIE also, MIE significantly helps Apple determine attempted attacks made against iPhones, leading to faster notifications if your're a victim of mercenary spyware
a #ChatControl update (shared on the ISOC "Global Encryption Coalition" mailing list): "The good news is that the blocking minority held. Members states raised concerns about privacy and cybersecurity as reasons for their opposition. Even countries that are officially in support of the proposal asked questions along these lines for the first time – showing that they are facing increased pressure back home. The bad news is that #Denmark is moving forward even though they did not receive full support. They are keeping their plan to take this proposal to the Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on October 14th. After discussing with partners, we understand this as a strategy from Denmark. They are not making progress at the working level (the meeting today) and therefore will try directly at the political level (justice and home affairs). During these coming four weeks they will try to convince some of the blocking member states to reconsider their position. What this means for us is that we need to keep up the pressure. We should be thanking the blocking countries for their position and encouraging the undecided or supportive countries to reconsider. We should keep up pressure in the media at the same time."
