  Thailand is Asia's unequivocal champion for LGBTQ+ equality and rights. On 23 January 2025, Thailand's Marriage Equality Act came into force, marking a turning point for the entire region. By amending the Civil and Commercial Code to replace "men and women" with "individuals" and "husband and wife" with "marriage partners," Thailand did more than pass a law as it fundamentally rewrote the definition of legal recognition in the country. Same-sex co...

  Thoughts with everyone affected by last night tragic events at the Christopher Street day parade in Berlin. Pride stands for celebration of love, equality and human dignity. It is core part of European values. Full solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in Germany. Hate and violence is never acceptable. #LGBTQ #LGBT #Pride

  How to write a pitch that journalists actually read. The best pitch isn't only about what you want to say. It's about making the journalist's job easier. Journalists are overwhelmed. Their inboxes are flooded with hundreds of emails daily, they are on back-to-back calls, and deadlines never stop. Yet most pitches ignore this reality entirely. Here's what separates a pitch that gets a response from one that gets ignored: Put the offer in the subject line. Not a vague hook, bu...

  Europe's unique strengths are in encryption and security. If we look at companies and organizations like Proton, Wire and Threema, we can see that the European innovation is about privacy, data security and trust. Europe has strong potential to become global superpower regarding these areas. Made in Europe means made with privacy-by-design and security-by-design principles. Europe can offer the world the most secure, trusted and privacy-oriented solutions. What it needs to do is to embrace...

  RE: https://vebinet.com/@mediascopegroup/116634850617602978 I'm happy to announce the launch of Europe Connect, a strategic initiative born from a simple truth: entering the European market is an opportunity, but navigating it requires more than just a plan, it requires a partner who lives and breathes the landscape. At Media Scope Group, we've spent years helping global brands tell their stories and manage their reputations. With Europe Connect, we are taking that expertise an...

  Congratulations to Poland for finally recognizing same-sex marriages entered abroad. It is good step forward and one more brick to building a strong foundation of equality, dignity and social progress. More good news is that the Polish Sejm will be voting (during first reading) on a law introducing civil partnerships in Poland. This would be significant move to builld another pillar of human dignity and equality. Same-sex marriage and civil partnerships strengthen families and are integral par...

  RE: https://vebinet.com/@mediascopegroup/116674237999866253 True leadership isn't just about strategy, but it's about standing for something that matters.

At the heart of our work lies a fundamental principle: We want to drive and help others to make positive impact. And impact and equity begins with visibility. This is why we are committed to support LGBTQ+ community. For us, su...

  On 29 August, people of Iceland will decide on whether they want to join the EU and therefore push for stronger integration with the rest of the European family. Regardless of their decision, Iceland is and will remain the country from which others can learn about democracy, openness, freedom of information and privacy. #Iceland #EU #Europe #Europa #democracy #privacy

  RE: https://vebinet.com/@mediascopegroup/116605899713373175 Creativity wins over machines. People can't be replaced by AI. Brands that invest in their creative talent, empower them with advanced tools, and cultivate a culture of creativity and innovation will create leading narratives. In the age of AI, the most powerful technology remains the human mind, and the most valuable asset is the capacity to create something truly inspiring and resonating with audiences. #creativity #PR #Pu...

  One of the most unique things about fediverse for content creators is that they don't need to feel pressured into following rules set by algorithms. Instead of chasing algorithms which decide which content people see, creators can focus on what they really love: making cool content that other people enjoy. No race to the bottom. No punishment because of not publishing for one day. No platform working against creators. People here don't care about engagement rates someone has...

  In Estonia, youth may gain the right to vote and run as candidates in elections to the European Parliament. Hopefully, the Estonian Parliament will approve amendments to the election law, so the age allowing voting will be lowered to 16 years old and the age allowing to become candidate to the European Parliament will be lowered to 18 years old. This change will be in line with the democratic spirit, especially now, as youth is politically and socially active, and very often brings good ideas....

  Vietnam is moving forward with even smarter economic policies to not only attract foreign investment, but also to evaluate them based on outcomes. This is significant. Moving from simply seeking investment input to assessing and judging by outcomes investments create shifts toward stronger priority for value. And this value has to create capabilities and stronger support economic and social growth of Vietnam. For foreign companies, this creates a great opportunity to push for bringing more val...

  One question surfaces repeatedly among boardrooms and executive suites alike: should CEOs maintain an active presence on social media? The answer, as with most strategic decisions in leadership, is neither simple nor universal. What works for a CEO of a huge, renowned consumer brand may prove entirely ineffective for the leader of a mid-sized B2B services firm. Understanding when and why social media participation matters, or doesn’t, requires an assessment of brand dynamics, stakeholder expecta...

  The EU should require all EU countries to use truly sovereign cloud infrastructure for storing and processing sensitive data such as financial data, judicial and legal documents, health records, and communication between authorities and citizens. Truly sovereign cloud infrastructure means cloud infrastructure built, operated and fully controled by European companies which owners are EU citizens. The US CLOUD Act means that no data is safe when stored on servers operated by American companies....

  With wars and military conflicts across the world, trade tensions and attacks against multilateralism, the world's capability to address existential threats like climate change is being reduced. Humanity has strong ability to address climate change and take the necessary climate action. But this requires cooperation and ability to overcome divides and borders. We could make much more progress and make achievements by 2030 in these regards. However, as the world is facing wars, trade te...

  Recently, many people started expressing concerns and not so positive opinions about the announcement that Linux Mint's team will have longer development cycle. Actually, this can have good outcomes for Mint users. Linux Mint has a smaller team compared to many other distros, so it means that optimizing development cycle is reasonable step and should not worry anyone. Developing good software takes time and requires people. Having more time to focus on improving the system would result...

  Public relations is not only for big brands, but also for small companies. The notion that public relations is a tool reserved exclusively for multinational corporations with expansive budgets and global reach is a myth in the business world. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often operate under the assumption that PR is irrelevant to their operations, a luxury reserved for managing high-profile crises or launching international campaigns. This perspective fundamentally misunderstands...

  There are many reasons why I'm against age verification and social media bans for teens. Youth is part of society and their voices should be heard. When we take a look on how they use social media, we can see they use them for expressing themselves, mobilizing for important causes such as climate action and fair wages. Imposing restrictions on young people is not the way to protect them. In fact, it's taking their right to freedom of expression and speech. It also harms society...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116397732624612922 From the perspective of managing a company, keeping high morale and making people to feel good when working, replacing a human with AI-generated version would have very negative impact. CEOs of companies should be integral part of workplace and stay closer to employees instead of trying to seize any opportunity to distance themselves from them. Healthy, good workplace is about good working conditions, human connection and positive re...

  I hope that the next Hungarian Government will abolish toxic and anti-family policies that targeted LGBTQ people, violated personal freedoms and freedom of speech. During recent years under the rule of Fidesz, Hungary launched crackdown on LGBTQ content, banned Pride events, and tried to stigmatize and dehumanize LGBTQ people. Fundamental rights, such as human dignity, respect for family life, non-discrimination and protection of people from state-sanctioned abuse, should be restored. #EU #Eu...

  The Estonian Government's argument for opposing the equal pay and pay transparency rules, which were adopted by the Council on 24 April 2023, is not reasonable. First, equality and transparency of salaries is not adding further burden. Second, Estonia needs to take pay gap more seriously as it has one of the biggest pay gaps in Europe. Third, ignoring EU law in such important field affecting lives of people is a mistake. The problem needs to be addressed, not ignored. PS Commission...
