Sabrina F. argued that a unique, centralized, and mandatory digital identity could become a tool for conditioning access to work, purchases, travel, and healthcare. She clarified that she is not against technology, but against the imposition of digital systems without alternatives, and stated that fundamental rights should not depend on a QR code or a connection. In the post, she reported that on March 4, 2026, an event on digital identity was held at the European Parliament in Brussels. According to Sabrina F., the Dutch lawyer Meike Terhorst, specializing in law, discussed the expansion of digital identity systems and their possible effects on privacy, civil liberties, banking and public services, and participation in everyday life. Sabrina F. reported that Terhorst had argued that member states could refuse digital identity and had advised citizens who possessed one to get rid of it. Sabrina F. concluded by aligning herself with a technology that serves people and called for critical voices to be heard. #IdentitàDigitale #Libertà #DirittiUmani (translated)

As soon as I speak in public, as soon as I write a post on Facebook or Instagram, they come alive and start offending me. It’s a climate of terror. Then there are more traditional systems: microphones and microcameras placed in private spaces, like in the case of Omar Radi, a journalist persecuted for years for his articles on corruption, spied on through a tiny hidden microphone in a chandelier in his home: “As soon as I speak in public, as soon as I write a post on Facebook or Instagram, they come alive and start offending me. It’s a climate of terror.” #tecnooppressione #sorveglianza #dirittiumani (translated)

Steven Cercamondi wrote that Margaret Hamilton, whom he referred to as the "woman of the Moon," had passed away at the age of 90. He described a photograph in which Hamilton appeared next to the lists of software developed by the team she led for the lunar module and the command module of the Apollo 11 mission. According to Cercamondi, that software managed critical functions such as flight control, navigation, data, communications, and safety, and was designed to handle emergencies and failures by providing real-time feedback to the astronauts. He also credited Hamilton with introducing an error management approach based on "interrupts," which allowed for timely detection and management of problems. He wrote that the team's code had provided the foundations for the safe operation of space missions and concluded with a message of condolence. #MargaretHamilton #NASA #Apollo11 (translated)
