Kunststück:
Gerade poppt überall die dpa Meldung auf, dass EU-Kommissarin Henna #Virkkunen laut @EUCommission jetzt auch einen Mastodon Account habe. Nur genannt wird dessen Adresse nirgendwo.

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.”

Finally a response from @EUCommission Vice-President #Virkkunen on the American attacks against #democracy in Europe (unfortunately on #LinkedIn):

"The #DSA and #DMA are our sovereign legislations - Non-discriminatory, applying to all online platforms in the EU. Fully protecting our #FundamentalRights, including #FreedomOfExpression. I will keep enforcing them, for our kids, citizens and businesses."

@EUCommission VP Henna #Virkkunen promises series of #DSA decisions "in near future."

“We have now many investigations in the pipeline and in the coming weeks and months, there will be coming several decisions on this field,” Executive Vice President for Tech Sovereignty Henna Virkkunen told reporters at the #DigitalSummit organized by the Polish presidency of the Council of the EU in #Gdańsk.

The @EUCommission's Executive Vice President for tech #sovereignty Henna #Virkkunen canceled her appearance at the #EU Parliament’s working group on the #DigitalServicesAct scheduled for today, which she has repeatedly done.
