The Czech Pirate Party general assembly is backed by Jitsi and runs absolutely flawlessly. Kudos to our technicians who have been doing a great job and long live Free and #OpenSource Software! :-) https://cf2021.pirati.cz
It happens way too often that posts on social networks get taken down for no apparent reason. Let's change that. The Greens/EFA proposal for Notice and Action would help ensure that illegal content gets taken down while legal stays up. https://www.kolaja.eu/en/post/20201215-greens_efa_proposal_for_notice_and_action/
Christmas is approaching and I have only one wish. Sensible rules for the Internet. Tomorrow, the European Commission shall present their proposal of the #DigitalServicesAct. What should it include?

Dnes bude debata o velmi zajímavém tématu. Dopady digitalizace na demokracii a nezávislá média. Je to jedno z témat, kterému se v Evropském parlamentu věnuji. Dalšími hosty jsou Věra Jourová, Michal Klíma a Josef Šlerka. Moderuje David Klimeš. Budu se těšit! https://www.facebook.com/events/2875523729398861
Semi-virtual meeting of my political group. Huge improvement in the videoconferencing system of the European Parliament: Video now works in Chromium! Full participation in remote meetings using fully #OpenSource stack is now possible! Kudos to the services of the Parliament!
My sincere congratulations to Adéla Šípová, our new #Pirate Senator! It's also great to see that supporting a common European approach to immigration and asylum isn't a deal breaker for citizens despite the fact that the political debate on this topic is rather distorted in CZ.
Regional election results in black & white! And in grey where Piráti and STAN ran on a joint list. The #Pirates jumped from 5 to 99 seats, which is the biggest increase among all political parties. Thanks again for your support!
Is the Czech Prime Minister afraid of the #Pirates? After having learned that the debate in Czech TV would be with Ivan Bartoš, the leader of the Pirate Party, currently polling second, Babiš ignored all messages from CzechTV and didn't show up for the debate.
