The DSA is changing that. One clear set of rules to protect people across the EU.
It’s about choice. The DSA requires the biggest platforms to offer a feed that isn't based on your personal data.
It’s about safety. What’s illegal offline should be illegal online.
It’s about freedom. In Europe, you have the right to challenge content moderation decisions taken by platforms.An internet that works for people.

how about funding open source networks like the fediverse that really are serving the people and are not for profit?

@EUCommission
Point 1: Good. That's how it should be because algorithmic feeds are covert propaganda machines the user CANNOT control. No matter what the social platform says, YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL of algo-driven feed.Point 2: If you want to uphold that, then make sure CURRENT laws are enforced properly. You don't need more laws and regulation. Especially not the kind that contradicts the very values you claim to uphold.
Point 3: The problem here isn't the absence of the right. You can do it anywhere. The problem is that moderation teams need to be held accountable and responsible for their actions. A moderator with no accountability is a danger to any social space, no matter how "correct" their values may be. So the focus needs to be on breaking the authoritarian power dynamic of such places. Remember, people-driven spaces HAVE NO LEADERS. They have delegates who are being held responsible by all others.

@proscience @EUCommission I don't understand. What is a propaganda toot?

@EUCommission Honestly, I don't hold my breath that big tech platforms (meta, X, YouTube, etc) are suddently going to start to behave in a decent way. They are primarily after profit, driven by greed, an that amount of AI slop that one can see there shows it. Not to mention their ties to authoritarian regimes. The best option is to show them the door, and fully embrace the alternative (the Fediverse).

@EUCommission They are driven by greed, they follow the Gospel of Gordon Gekko.

That’s a great idea, @plausibel!
It’s a good thing we are already doing it.
Last year we launched a call for proposals titled “Fediversity”. More info here: https://link.europa.eu/M9rCH3
Our colleagues @EC_NGI regularly post about opportunities like this, you can follow them to receive them directly in your Fedi feed. -
