Kein Steuergeld mehr für linksaktivistische NGOs! Die CDU-geführte Bundesregierung redet nicht nur darüber, sondern handelt auch. Förderprogramme für linksaktivistische Organisationen wie „HateAid“ werden in Zukunft eingestellt. 😊 welt.de/politik/deutsc…











The largest meta-analysis ever done on ACT and depression just landed! 263 studies. 21,830 participants. I remember when "where are your data?" was the question. We are not there anymore. ACT produces a large overall effect on depression (g = .88), climbing to g = 1.18 in studies that directly targeted it. And even studies that weren't targeting depression still produced significant reductions. You don't have to aim at it to help with it. One thing I want to mention: the team used the ACBS study list rather than standard search engines, because standard engines miss non-English and non-indexed journals in ways that aren't neutral in their impact. That list exists because of thousands of hours of work by people who refused to leave studies out just because they weren't indexed in the right places. Good science requires that kind of stubbornness. Congratulations to the whole team for their work!

A quick update on the infamous EU “ChatControl” 🇪🇺 What a turn of events in EU tech policy: from potential mandatory mass scanning of data (“ChatControl”) → to even voluntary scans losing their legal basis (for now). Just months ago, fears were growing around mandatory scanning of private communications in the EU (incl. pictures and videos). Now, talks between the EU Council (Member States) and the European Parliament have collapsed - and the result is a complete reversal. As of April 3, even voluntary scanning of data by platforms loses its legal basis under EU privacy (ePrivacy & GDPR) rules, as the temporary exemption was not extended. A striking example of how fast EU tech policy can turn - and a big win for European privacy advocates.
