Podcast "De Grote Tech Show" with Brad Smith Vice-Chairman at #Microsoft. It seems ongoing discussions on digital autonomy in the EU & NL have reached Microsoft HQ:
https://omny.fm/shows/degrotetechshow/brad-smith-microsoft-amerikaanse-rode-knop-scenario-voor-europa-moeten-we-zo-voorkomen
Quite interesting, especially for things not said out loud, but which you can derive or hear between the lines. Apparently MS is worried enough to send their Vice- Chairman on a European goodwill tour.
PS: it starts in Dutch, but continues in English.
Journalism vs. AI, Apple in antitrust trouble, a secret Reddit experiment, and Google’s search drama. @leo, @owenthomas, @iainthomson, & Gary Rivlin cover it all.

Florida’s new “Social Media Use by Minors” bill (SB 868/HB 743) has a chilling twist: it demands platforms create backdoors to decrypt private messages.
That means: End-to-end encryption may be turned off
Disappearing messages could be banned
Minors lose digital privacy
All users may face weaker security
EFF warns this is a dangerous precedent that risks everyone’s online safety. Legislating away encryption doesn’t protect kids — it jeopardizes all of us.
