The "Freedom of movement in digital Europe" initiative seems conceived and shaped around the language and designs of #atproto projects (pds etc), but if succesful in prying adtech platforms open, it becomes a mere technical problem to import data into the #activitypub #fediverse

@smallcircles @z428 I am not too deep into the existing EU legislation, but GDPR did mention (personal?) data portability already https://gdpr.eu/article-20-right-to-data-portability/ but maybe this is about the atproto communities seeing a natural way to building / expanding on that? Maybe this could create a more level playing field. Its different from explicitly backing this or that protocol and I suspect if it is taken up by policy makers such reference will be eliminated.

Yes, PDS directly refers to the ATProto stack, baking that protocol:
@smallcircles @z428 technology neutrality is a key aspect of EU legislation and I doubt it can be different in this case (assuming it is picked up as an agenda item at all 😅 ) https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/common-assessment-method-standards-and-specifications-camss/solution/elap/technology-neutrality
@openrisk
I just responed to a similar post by @z428 on a similar call. There's a more holistic / inclusive initiative at https://european.social than this one, which is about Eurosky.
