Trump's FCC is officially moving to make it easier for internet companies to charge hidden fees

The Republican-led FCC has voted on and approved a proposal that would make it harder for consumers to receive itemized bills with accurate information from their ISPs, as originally spotted by CNET. This proposal revises previous "unnecessary" requirements on the grounds that a fact-based list of charges "may confuse customers." These changes would minimize the benefit of the so-called "nutrition labels" which are otherwise known as Broadband Facts labels. You've... Read more

Austria's Ministry of Economy Has Migrated To a Nextcloud Platform In Shift Away From US Tech

An anonymous reader quotes a report from ZDNet: Even before Azure had a global failure this week, Austria's Ministry of Economy had taken a decisive step toward digital sovereignty.
