🇬🇧YouTube wants to force us into surveillance advertising and tracking with an anti-adblock wall. Unacceptable to me as a #Pirate MEP! That's why I asked the EU Commission today to check the legality of adblock detection under the ePrivacy directive.
Thanks Alexander Hanff.
You're not stealing from scientists. The journals are, and unlike EVERY OTHER PLATFORM don't give a penny back to "creators". Yes, that includes #openaccess journals. Piracy lets us demand reform.
🇩🇪Dank Big Sister Johansson wirst du vor Flügen künftig immer deinen Ausweis vorzeigen/hochladen müssen - u.U. sogar bei innerdeutschen Flügen! Natürlich werden künftig auch mehr Daten gesammelt als bisher. In LIBE stimmen heute alle dafür - ich als #Pirat nicht!
🇬🇧In future you will always have to present/upload your ID before flying - possibly even on domestic flights! Plus more data will be collected than before. Everyone in LIBE is voting in favour today - not me as a #Pirate!

Taylor has lived her entire life as a boy. Hiding away as a serving boy at a local inn, but when a pirate comes stumbling into her life, he brings adventure and horror with him. Whether she wants it or not.
Diese #Chatkontrolle 1.0 schützt nicht vor Missbrauch, sondern kriminalisiert jährlich tausende Jugendlicher und überlastet Strafverfolger.
CDU/CSU und SPD wollen das nächsten Mittwoch im Schnellverfahren durchwinken… Als Europaabgeordneter der #Piraten stimme ich nicht nur dagegen, sondern klage vor Gericht!
This #Chatcontrol 1.0 does not protect against abuse, but criminalizes thousands of young people every year and overburdens law enforcement.
Conservatives, socialists and liberals want to green-light it in a fast-track procedure next Wednesday... As a #Pirate MEP, I'm not just voting against it, I'm taking it to court!
🇬🇧 🎥 Join me tomorrow for a #Pirate-organised screening-debate on #FreeAssangeNOW at 8pm at the Star Saint-Exupéry cinema in Strasbourg showing the documentary @IthakaMovie, followed by a discussion with @Stella_Assange and @khrafnsson
I am always so impressed with the quality of FitGirl releases. They are tens of gigabytes smaller than the official releases of games, and they always work! It's amazing that they do all that work for free and still manage to do a better job than the million dollar game studios.

Today in Labor History January 12, 1876: Working class novelist Jack London was born. As a kid, he was an oyster pirate in Oakland, along the shores of the San Francisco Bay. As a young man, he became a hobo, riding the rails from town to town, looking for handouts and sometimes work. He wrote about these experiences in his short novel, “The Road.” He was also a lifelong alcoholic, which contributed to his early death. In his novel, “John Barleycorn,” he wrote about both his alcoholism and his experiences as a laborer in numerous low-paid, backbreaking jobs. He was also a socialist and a champion of unions and working-class activism. With respect to strikebreakers, he famously wrote: "After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a cork-screw soul, a water-logged brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles." London was also one of the first Haoles (non-Native Hawaiian, or white person) to learn how to surf in Hawaii.
This was the read I needed this morning. The Pirate Queen of Ireland: Gráinne Ní Mháille was not to be f*cked with from Sweary History. Obv NSFW language.

🇩🇪Ausgerechnet am Montag nach dem #Datenschutztag starten Abschlussverhandlungen über ein globales UN-#Überwachungsabkommen, genannt Cybercrimeabkommen. Jede Regierung weltweit - einschließlich Unrechtsregimes wie Russland und China - könnte damit unbemerkt Zugang zu unseren Daten und Echtzeitüberwachung verlangen mit der Begründung aller möglicher Straftaten und mit kaum Daten- und Grundrechtsschutz.
As a #Pirate, I call for an immediate halt to the negotiation of this UN surveillance treaty and instead negotiating an international #NoSpy treaty to protect us from #masssurveillance!
