Full moon over the National Monument* in Amsterdam.

Picture taken on my way home after speaking on a talkshow about the future of the internet and democracy.

* A permanent remembrance of WW2, its victims, resistance, and liberation.

Highlight of today’s @EEAS conference: session ‘Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference (FIMI) as a global threat within the broader hybrid conflict landscape’.

I’m feeling frustrated by the glacial pace of progress in awareness, let alone building preparedness & resilience.

I never in my life could have imagined that my native country, which prided itself in compromise and tolerance, would form a far-right government.
