their personal data and communication with Free and Open Source Software

Just a short report from the European Parliament.

The Legal Affairs Committee just voted unanimously to promote that citizens
regain control over their personal data and communication with Free and Open
Source Software:


	
	

	Calls on the Commission to promote the development, jointly with
stakeholders, of decentralised Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) based
services which would help to harmonise practices across cloud providers and
enable European citizens to regain control over their personal data and
communication, for example by means of point-to-point encryption.
