He also shows exactly how Big Tech has escaped what he identifies as the usual four factors for keeping the worst instincts of companies in check.</p><p>I agree with him that we should annul the anti-circumvention law on the books, and would go further in saying that we should explicitly enshrine in law the rights to alter, repair, remove etc. any functionality of products and services that we choose to use.

Erik van Straten<p>Auschwitz herdenking 27 jan a.s.</p><p>Uit <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/13/speeches-by-politicians-banned-at-80th-anniversary-of-auschwitzs-liberation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/world/2025/jan</span><span class="invisible">/13/speeches-by-politicians-banned-at-80th-anniversary-of-auschwitzs-liberation</span></a>:<br>❝<br>“There will be no political speeches at all,” said Piotr Cywiński, director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial and museum, in a recent interview with the Guardian.<br>❞</p><p>Dat begrijp ik. Want het AM (Auschwitz Memorial) heeft een voormalige IDF militair in het bestuur en is uitgesproken pro-Israël (zie onderaan <a href="https://www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschwitz-council/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw</span><span class="invisible">itz-council/</span></a>). En is dus:</p><p> *SOMS* TÉGEN GENOCIDE</p><p>En niet alleen op dat punt is het AM selectief, tevens uit het Guardian artikel:<br>❝<br>In 2005, Vladimir Putin visited the 60th anniversary commemoration, giving a speech in which he said it was “inconceivable to think that people are capable of such barbarity” and paid tribute to the Soviet soldiers who liberated the camp. This time, however, no Russian delegation has been invited.<br>❞</p><p>Volgens <a href="https://www.auschwitz.org/en/history/the-number-of-victims/overall-numbers-by-ethnicity-or-category-of-deportee/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">auschwitz.org/en/history/the-n</span><span class="invisible">umber-of-victims/overall-numbers-by-ethnicity-or-category-of-deportee/</span></a> zijn er 15.000 Sovjets vermoord in Auschwitz, en bovendien hebben Sovjets het concentratiekamp bevrijd. Dat er géén vertegenwoordigers van vermoorde Sovjets worden uitgenodigd, is (mede vanwege het spreekverbod) opmerkelijk.</p><p>Verder uit the Guardian:</p><p>❝<br>“The Polish government treats the safe participation of the leaders of Israel in the commemorations on 27 January 2025, as part of paying tribute to the Jewish nation, millions of whose daughters and sons became victims of the Holocaust carried out by the Third Reich,” read a resolution released by Tusk’s office.</p><p>Cywiński described the whole discussion as a “media provocation”, claiming there was no indication that Netanyahu had ever planned to visit the ceremony in the first place. He said, however, that a sizeable Israeli delegation was expected at the event.<br>❞</p><p>Ook als Netanyahu NIET ZÉLF komt, maakt het AM dus een keihard onderscheid tussen de afkomst van de mensen die in Auschwitz zijn vermoord (in 2023 moest de Duitse regering het AM eraan "helpen herinneren" dat er in Auschwitz ook veel LHBTI+ mensen waren geliquideerd: <a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-germany-14bcd8e50b302637f6dce81a4e25c733" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/politics-ge</span><span class="invisible">rmany-14bcd8e50b302637f6dce81a4e25c733</span></a>). En dus is het AM:</p><p> RACISTISCH</p><p>En m.b.t. "no indication that Netanyahu had EVER planned to visit the ceremony", uit <a href="https://www.jpost.com/International/Netanyahu-at-Auschwitz-Never-again" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">jpost.com/International/Netany</span><span class="invisible">ahu-at-Auschwitz-Never-again</span></a> van 27 jan. 2010:<br>❝<br>Netanyahu at Auschwitz: NEVER AGAIN</p><p>PM draws on memory of Holocaust victims who were murdered in "blood-soaked Europe" to send clear message to "new Amaleks" in era of controversy over Israel's right to self-defense.<br>[...]<br>Netanyahu chose not to specifically refer to the Iranian regime and its nuclear drive, but has drawn a link between the Nazis and the Iranian threat to the Jews in many recent speeches.</p><p>“AmYisrael Chai, we have returned to our homeland, to the land ofour forefathers, to Jerusalem, our capital. We have converged fromall corners of the world, Holocaust survivors, Arab Jews, Jews fromformer Soviet Union states, Ethiopian Jews,” Netanyahu said,choosing frosty Poland as the location for his rebuke to those whoclaim the Jewish population of Israel is comprised mostly ofemigrants [sic] from Europe.<br>❞</p><p>Voor degenen die weten wie Cory Doctorow is: ook hem heb ik geblokt (net als heel
