The Dutch parliament on Tuesday approved a law criminalizing digital espionage and diaspora espionage, which refers to foreign powers attempting to influence communities in the Netherlands with ties to those countries.

The new law expands on existing legislation, criminalizing actions such as leaking information or working for foreign governments that harm Dutch interests.

The #Netherlands, for example, recently exited fur farming. The #ban in the mink-producing country ended up coming early in 2021 after #mink were killed due to infections with Covid-19. #Norway, like #Finland a major producer of fox pelts, banned fur farming in 2018 after evidence of animal welfare violations surfaced. #FurFarming has been illegal in the #UnitedKingdom since 2003 and #Austria since 2005.

Today, #library staff at the #University of #Groningen joined the #strike against the proposed budget cuts to #HigherEducation in the #Netherlands.

We also asked #students to share their thoughts on a whiteboard: Imagine the university without a library. What would that mean to you?

Here's what some of them wrote:
(Photo credits staff: Manuel Reyes @manu)

Whiteboard with handwritten responses to "Imagine the university without the library." The photo depicts a whiteboard filled with multicolored handwritten messages. At the top, in large red letters is the prompt, "IMAGINE THE UNIVERSITY WITHOUT THE LIBRARY..." Below, in teal, is the question, "WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN TO YOU?" Various responses are written in different colors around the board. Key reactions include phrases like "LOWER GRADES" in black, "Less motivation to study," and "Less studying because I can't do it at home" with a sad face drawn beside it. Other contributions mention "no public access to knowledge," "PANIC," and "Less opportunities!" There are comments about socialization, academic performance, and the emotional impact of losing library access.
