RT by @MarietjeSchaake: New from 404 Media: LinkedIn is training AI on users before updating its terms of service. People noticed a new setting on generative AI. I asked LinkedIn, they said they're updating their terms "shortly." They went ahead and trained AI w/o updating https://www.404media.co/linkedin-is-training-ai-on-user-data-before-updating-its-terms-of-service/

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Here’s the PROPOSED new EU Commission led and dominated by @vonderleyen featuring :

- mostly unknown national politicians, predominantly ‘yes men’ (the likes of Borrell/Breton gone)

- predominantly and unprecedentedly coming from the EPP and the right and far right to mimic the EU Parliament’s composition

- overlapping and blurred portfolios (climate, democracy, Mediterranean, etc), a recipe for internal tensions set to empower the VPs

- and unlikely to survive as such the vote of the EU Parliament with an unprecedented number expected to be rejected

Fasten your seat belt! #vonderleyen

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: "I'm not as worried about specific laws or fraud this election. What concerns me is uncertainty, chaos, and confusion, and that fact that our political system will have a very difficult time dealing with that right now."

Wow, this does not bode well for the confirmation process and for relations with the EP where VDL already relies on fragile majorities ↘️
