Wait, not that NATO was so united? why don't they trust Uncle Sam's platforms? Why are they afraid of Musk, isn't he the real life Tony Stark who will take us to Mars in green rockets (not the ones he smokes)?

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) launches today the public pilot phase of two social media platforms: EU Voice and EU Video.

The launch of the pilot phase of EU Voice and EU Video will help the EDPS to test the platforms in practice by collecting feedback from participating EUIs. The EDPS hopes that this first step will mark a continuity in the use of privacy-compliant social media platforms.

It's a start, and I'm happy about that. Let's see how it develops, and if more EU institutions join the fediverse in the future.

How the fuck is peertube privacy compliant especially when the gov is running it? You're sharing your IP with groups of strangers and the government everytime you watch a video. You've went from one corporate point of failure all the way to handing your data directly the government and everyone with internet access theoretically which includes the corporations!

I've wanted to setup a video site for a while since DMT extraction videos keep getting removed along with other chemistry stuff but the P2P nature of peertube stops me. People don't know that's what's happening when using peertube they are just visiting a site in their mind.

I visited the EU Video instance and it looks like the P2P option is off by default.

Well I stand corrected, thanks for the info! Definitely the better option to default too.
