Switzerland’s Cyber Command and electromagnetic operations unit are abandoning Microsoft’s cloud in favor of the open-source OpenDesk platform.

Concerns revolve around US laws like the Cloud Act potentially granting government access to classified military data.

OpenDesk, created by the German Center for Digital Sovereignty, is also being adopted by Germany’s Bundeswehr and Austria’s armed forces.

The Swiss military operates OpenDesk on their own servers and actively contributes to open-source projects, overcoming technical limitations.

Microsoft's cloud-based Office package 365 is not suitable for an army with the highest demands on confidentiality, availability, and integrity.
— Simon Müller, head of the Swiss Army's Cyber Command, said that Microsoft's cloud-based Office 365 is not suitable for such a sensitive military context.

Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s applications CEO, is leaving her full-time role to work part-time as an advisor.

She joined OpenAI in 2025 after leading Instacart through its IPO and a decade at Meta.

Key FactsEU Parliament Narrowly Extends Voluntary Chat Scanning

5 days ago · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: netzpolitik.org

The EU Parliament narrowly approved prolonging an exception that permits voluntary scanning of unencrypted user content by online platforms.

This exception remains valid until the Council either accepts the text unchanged or the mediation committee intervenes within three months.

Encrypted communications via messengers like Signal and WhatsApp are explicitly excluded from the scanning rules.

Opponents condemn the decision as a setback for privacy and civil rights, despite a parliamentary majority opposing mass surveillance.

That is a black day for civil rights and child protection on the internet. Under the pretext of child protection, Zuckerberg and Co. are now being allowed to continue monitoring private communications on their platforms in Europe.
— Erik Marquardt, Green Party member of the leading Committee for Civil Liberties in the European Parliament
