"The Commission sends the signatures collected using its online collection system to the Member States via its file exchange service."
As @alberto_cottica says, "those [of] us who are privileged enough to not worry about being repressed can pick up some slack for the others".
And bureaucratic errors could lead to some wrong deletions, although you should store your hash string ("Signature identifier") for checking later in the "confirmed" list.

Looks like you need to find the "Amendments" section at top of [1] to find Amendment 34 (Am 34) [2], which passed by 307 vs 306. IIUC, Am 34 put strong restrictions requiring specific justification to justify spying, and forbidding spying that bypasses E2EE.
IIUC, if the vote on the overall Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 had passed, then thanks to Am 34, the regulation would have hypothetically been weakened.

I completely agree. This is not just excellent news for en.Wikipedia, it's also a symbol of holding to a high intellectual standard for other communities, many who are tempted by #TyrannyOfConvenience arguments.

This is useful empirical research.

At the risk of a divergent conversation :) ... Language + hidden cognitive assumptions about spacetime are what lead to paradoxes about "the same thing" in Minkowski spacetime ;). The terms "time dilation" and "space contraction" are misleading until you understand what they mean (projections) on a spacetime diagram. @cartographer did a boost which suggests that I probably *should* record my lectures on this ... so far there's been no other interest so I've been undecided.

ArXiv IDs: No :).
I was just guessing a format for ArXiv hashtags that other people might use - but it looks like #ArXiv_2209_07493 is more likely to be used than #ArXiv220907493 (and I see that I mistyped - I'll edit that).

ArXiv:2209.07493 [1] is an impressive review of the issue of not just digital infrastructure for research, but how to reform research overall. Since it's CC BY-NC-SA, in principle the astro community could hack it and do a version more appropriate to our own current situation. My guess is that in some ways we're a lot more cooperative - but with a lot of GAFAM-ish reliance.

Nice to see that the Wikipedia entry for #RadicalTransparency is still developing - its 20th anniversary comes up in May 2023 ;). An example of a radically transparently edited encyclopedia article.

@forgefed #ForgeFed [2] - could you remind us of a good URL on ForgeFed funding (NLNet?) as a real-world example of funding FOSS?
@khinsen @civodul might have some good links on the current status of other EU-based initiatives towards sustainable incomes for FOSS developers/maintainers.

Keeping in mind the #ClimateEmergency , a non-propaganda advertisement would also have to *not* encourage the reader/viewer to buy more products than are reasonably justified during this emergency, it seems to me.

You're welcome to correct any errors in [1], based on [[WP:RS]].
You've also posed a particularly interesting challenge:
What criteria must a paid advertisement by client X posted on an online social network satisfy in order to *not* bias the reader/viewer to be more likely to purchase X's product (versus a thorough, neutral, objective assessment comparing the rival products)?
In other words: what criteria define an advertisement that is *not* propaganda [1]?

Most people in this thread seem to have continued using the euphemism "advertising" instead of the word "propaganda" [1]. #EdwardBernays, the "father of public relations" [2], would be proud of his success!
de-euphemised: "Interesting explanation from a decently large Twitter propagandist on why they've paused their propaganda budget on Twitter after keeping it running for the past couple of weeks."
