> ECB President Christine Lagarde told Irish radio that Europe needs its own digital payment system “urgently,” warning that virtually all European card and mobile payments currently run through non-European infrastructure controlled by Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or Alipay.

> Days later, on 2 February, the European Payments Initiative (EPI) and the EuroPA Alliance signed a landmark agreement to build a pan-European interoperable payment network covering 130 million users across 13 countries. The system, built around the digital wallet Wero, aims to let Europeans pay and transfer money across borders without touching a single American network.

“If you shut out American cloud providers or banking services, there aren't necessarily EU options to step in and fill the vacuum left by them,” Folkman said.

Many core services used in the EU, including payment systems such as Visa and Mastercard, are US-based. So are most cloud providers, with Microsoft and Amazon Web Services dominant.

Die Einreise in die #USA könnte ab morgen hakelig werden.
"Dazu gehören alle Tel.nummern des Reisenden der vergangenen fünf Jahre sowie die E-Mail-Adressen der vergangenen zehn Jahre. Darüber hinaus werden detaillierte Angaben zu Familienmitgliedern verlangt. Dazu zählen Geburtsdaten, Anschriften sowie Telefonnummern."
Da ich meine Telefonnummern regelmäßig wechsel, prepaid verwende und meinen Job auch gewechselt habe und mir die alten Nummern nicht gemerkt oder irgendwo aufgeschrieben habe, könnte das für mich kritisch werden. Und da ich für jeden Online-Account eine andere E-Mail-Adress verwende, bin ich mir nicht sicher, dass ich die Liste ausfüllen kann und sie wäre sehr lang.
Wir wollen die das überprüfen?
Egal, für mich ist im Moment die USA vergleichbar mit Nordkorea.

Reuters. Länk till artikeln nedan.

En sammanfattning och granskning kring vad som hände när FN:s särskilda rapportör Albanese blev utsatt för USA-sanktioner i juli 2025. Det ska ha varit bland annat att hon kritiserat exempelvis Alphabet, HP, IBM, Microsoft och Palantir för medverkan till allvarliga överträdelser av mänskliga rättigheter av Israel i Gaza och Västbanken.

Och då ska två av bolagen hon skickat brev till med sin kritik, alltså två av bolagen Alphabet, Amazon, Caterpillar, Chevron, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft och Palantir, bett om hjälp hos Vita huset.

Apropå att hon likhet med 8 domare från Internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC) blivit avstängda från betalnätverk av Trump-administrationen, så säger Mike Waltz "I'm glad she can't get a credit card."

Europeiska banker skulle kunna bli avstängda från internationella betalsystem, säger artikeln. Apropå hur kraftfulla de finansiella sanktionerna är.

Albanese säger "It is clear that my diplomatic immunity has not been respected." "Responsibility for this does not lie with the United Nations, but with Member States’ failure to act decisively – particularly my own country, Italy, which has remained completely silent on this matter."

The White House did not answer questions about why the admin initially defended the video, or why it remained up on Trump’s account for 12 hours. Even if a staffer did post the #Obama video [it was Trump], its message is resonant with the president’s past statements & actions. #Trump has called #Somalis “low-IQ,” & his admin recently announced rules that will ban nearly 90% of #African immigrant #visa applicants [unless they’re white South Africans, then they get priority status].

L'idée, c'est d'éviter les services américains pour les payements.

J'aurais bien voulu partager un QR code pour vous permettre de tester, mais ce n'est a priori pas possible et la prise de capture d'écran n'est pas non plus de mise. Dommage.

Si quelqu'un veut tester l'envoi, je suis ludovic@hirlimann.net dessus 😉

USA planen: Ab Februar 2026 könnten ESTA-Anträge erweiterte Daten verlangen: Social-Media-Profile (letzte 5 Jahre), Telefonnummern (5 Jahre), E-Mails (10 Jahre), IP-Adressen und Familieninfos. Das ist noch Vorschlag, aber planen Sie mit strengeren Checks.
Man abgesehen davon das ein Urlaub bei den Faschisten so attraktiv ist wie ne üble Zahnwurzelbehandlung, dürfte mit der Aktion der USA Tourismus nicht ein, sondern zusammenbrechen.
