How to make friends and influence people.

Minister @prevotmaxime, I am afraid your comments on the ״judiciary’s independence״ completely miss the point.
There should never have been such an investigation, had the issue of Brit Milah been regulated like in other European countries that respect Jewish religious freedom.
Especially so in a country with one of the oldest Jewish communities in Europe.
Had Belgium had a strategic plan to fight antisemitism and foster Jewish life, you might have known this.
Alas, it doesn’t. - Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער

French President Macron spoke with Iranian President Pezeshkian, condemning strikes on Emirati civilian infrastructure and demanding all parties lift the Strait blockade immediately and unconditionally. Macron said a Franco-British multinational naval mission, backed by the carrier Charles de Gaulle, aims to restore freedom of navigation. He urged Pezeshkian to seize the opportunity and plans to raise the matter with President Trump.

I absolutely agree. But we support them and not your companies.

European tech's biggest builders —Airbus, ASML, Siemens, SAP, Ericsson, Nokia, Mistral — are now openly URGING Brussels to get off their backs. They are totally correct: the current situation is a “CRISIS”! The Draghi report said it. The CEOs are saying it. Politicians keep dressing it up. The answer is simple: deregulate. Cut taxes. LET BUILDERS BUILD!

Won’t be surprised if Hezbollah decides to retaliate with a long range strike after the IDF targeted a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut.

Israel's strike on a Radwan Force commander in Beirut was coordinated with the US.

Excellent news. Now lets fuse it and expand the agency’s reach. Also give it tactical capabilities

‼️🇪🇺 BREAKING: Europol ran a shadow IT system stuffed with more than 2 petabytes of sensitive data on people who were never even suspected of a crime, and part of the data was kept outside of formal oversight...

This lands as the European Commission prepares to expand Europol's mandate and double its budget.

"They protect the law while breaking it," according to a former Europol senior official.

A joint investigation by Solomon, Correctiv, and Computer Weekly uncovered that Europol operated for years outside its own legal limits, with no functioning audit logs, no access controls, and admin rights handed out by the dozen.

They call the system the Computer Forensic Network, or CFN. Built in 2012 to triage forensic data, it became Europol's primary analytical platform. By 2019, the CFN held at least 2 petabytes of operational data, roughly 420 times the size of Europol's official non-forensic database. Drewer, the data protection officer, found that 99% of Europol's data sat in the CFN, processed without basic data protection or security safeguards.

The 2019 internal security assessment listed 32 separate failures. Among them:

- Ineffective assignment of security roles
- Insufficient management of privileged access rights
- Unrestricted software installation
- Lack of password management
- Lack of administrative usage logs
- Insufficient event logging and monitoring
- Insufficient network access control

Independent experts who reviewed the findings called the volume of admin accounts a textbook breach of confidentiality and an open door for both rogue insiders and external attackers. Logs could be modified or deleted by anyone with admin rights, meaning data tampering and unauthorised access could not be reliably traced.

Then there is the Pressure Cooker. A separate clandestine environment run by Europol's Internet Referral Unit, used to pull open-source data without ICT involvement and outside formal oversight. Internal staff flagged it as an "irregular situation" in October 2022. The EU's privacy watchdog, the EDPS, says it was never told about it during the original 2019 investigation.

After almost a decade of negotiation, the EDPS closed its monitoring of the CFN in February 2026. 15 of 150 recommendations remained unimplemented, including ones the watchdog flagged as concerning "issues of particular importance," covering core security safeguards. - International Cyber Digest
