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.

💥 Smash the monopoly! Today outside the @European Commission we gave Google a taste of its own broken system. Google’s power goes far beyond search. From Maps to YouTube, from Android to ads, it controls huge parts of the digital world — harming media diversity, weakening democracy, and putting too much power in one company’s hands.

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 ➡️

Yet, weak enforcement, political interference & lack of transparency risk turning them into empty shells, jeopardising digital rights. It's time for the EU to act boldly: these laws are Europe's frontline defence vs. authoritarianism - but *only* if enforced. Read more ➡️
