Sounds like Tech Commissioner #Virkkunen is trying to reassure critics in the #EU on #DSA + #DMA enforcement: “I have been working all the time on these topics. But of course, people, they have very different personal styles, I think,” she told #Politico. “It’s important to stay calm, even if there are different kinds of attacks against this legislation,... We are fully enforcing the rules all the time and everybody can be ensured on that.” “Our rules are not part of trade negotiations.”

Unpopular opinion: #JensSpahn and the German #CDUCSU don't oppose #ChatControl because of our #civilsociety pressure but because the far-right #noAfD opposes it as well.

I know some of us are really angered by #Meta's decision to stop running political, electoral and social issue ads in the EU. I understand this will force many civil society orgs to painfully disentangle their own #campaigning from #Meta platforms. But in my books it's a win-win: CSOs win because they finally break free from an abusive relationship, and society wins because less of our political debates and election campaigns are run on toxic #BigTech platforms. #TrackingFreeAds #PoliticalAds
