This communiqué [originally appeared on Symfony Station](https://symfonystation.mobileatom.net/Symfony-Station-Communique-10-May-2024).

Welcome to this week's Symfony Station communiqué. It's your review of the essential news in the Symfony and PHP development communities focusing on protecting democracy. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can't be free without safety and privacy.

There's good content in all of our categories, so please take your time and enjoy the items most relevant and valuable to you. This is why we publish on Fridays. So you can savor it over your weekend.

## Featured Item

The Drupal Association writes:

Twenty-three years after creating [Drupal](https://www.drupal.org/why-drupal) as a university student and hundreds of thousands of websites later, Dries Buytaert announced today that a new, parallel version of Drupal will launch at the end of 2024. Built on top of Drupal core and common contributor modules, and released in parallel, this new version will make the incredible power of Drupal more usable for all.
