The Online Safety Bill looks set to shatter privacy in the UK : The UK Parliament is set to finalize a bill this month that threatens privacy and freedom of speech at a fundamental level. We had hoped for last-minute amendments to be tabled protecting encryption and privacy, but based on information coming from Parliament at the time of writing, this now appears to be a lost cause. The Online Safety Bill is intended to protect people from online abuse, but the law as written would instead empower the UK government to break end-to-end encryption and monitor the most private aspects of your digital life.  Proton, along with much of the tech industry, has condemned the Online Safety Bill , specifically, the clauses that would undermine end-to-end encryption.

Arnold Levine - Radio Concord, Dynamite 235 : In this new episode I’m talking to Arnold Levine from 1970’s station Radio Concord.

FRS Summer Splash to take to airwaves next month : Dear FRS Friends! The time has finally come... After a (too...) long break, FRS-Holland will return to the airwaves in July/August. A combination of circumstances forced us to be inactive for more than 6 months. We do regret this inactivity but with new energy we will soon return to the shortwave airwaves. Good news: all familiar FRS voices will join: Jan, Mike, Bert, Dave & Peter V. Important: our website frsholland.nl will be offline for a while because we switch to a new provider. That implies we will build a new site starting in July/ August. At the same time you cannot check our website for the latest details regarding the FRS Summer Splash. In this mail we will supply the most important information, share it with any radio friend/ colleague! We hope those who run a blog will share the info with their readers. Thanks in advance!! FRS Summer Splash Following last year's successful edition, we hope you will ...
