We are turning digital policy into tangible benefits for all EU citizens.

Our updated Digital Europe Programme focuses on:

👉 Online safety: an app for victims of cyberbullying to report incidents.
👉 Education: €10 million to keep school data safe and independent from non-EU platforms.
👉 A new call for Safer Internet Centres to help keep children and young people protected online.
👉 A new Data Act legal helpdesk to help businesses navigate new data sharing rules.

@EUCommission here is something interesting. How about not giving passport authority to American mega corps? https://social.tchncs.de/@kuketzblog/116353284243133747

Das deutsche EUDI-Wallet (Sprind) setzt auf Google Play Integrity und Apple App Attest zur Geräteverifizierung – beides proprietäre Attestierungsdienste der jeweiligen Plattformhersteller. Nach heutigem Dokumentationsstand ist für Android ein Aktivierungspfad vorgesehen, der Google Play Integrity voraussetzt. Ein degoogletes Android ohne Google-Play-Komponenten fällt damit voraussichtlich raus. Was das in der Praxis bedeutet: Kein Custom-ROM, kein entsperrter Bootloader, kein degoogeltes Android. Der digitale EU-Ausweis – ein staatliches Identitätsmittel – hängt damit strukturell von Google und Apple ab. Ob das im Sinne digitaler Souveränität ist, darf jeder selbst beurteilen.

Mastodon
@EUCommission why don't you have option "REJECT ALL COOKIES" on that page? Why?!!
@EUCommission and yet you are championing ways for known, powerful pedophiles (0 arrests, 0 trials with more evidence than has ever been obtained in child abuse and trafficking cases) to track our childrens' every move, linked to their government IDs and their parents', so they can find the most vulnerable kids and abuse them. Tangible benefits for citizens while making it easier to kidnap their children? You are handing the location, IDs, and mental state of vulnerable children to abusers.
@EUCommission
"non-EU platforms" ... 😅🤦🏻‍♂️
@AAMfP @EUCommission
When I asked one time the reply was: use the url link to share somewhere else.

@AAMfP, it's understandable that @EUCommission supports sharing where people are.

But the very weak EU support for legitimate world-wide, decentralized platforms is really concerning 🤔 As if EU would be only a vassal of USA that is now allowed by the "Daddy" to do it's own things. I love EU, but even I consider this pathetic. Our European ambition is bigger than that and EC should reflect that.

@EUCommission Time to revise the idea to ban anonymous use of the internet, now that we know Meta were secretly paying for all the lobbying. The EU needs to take into account where the dirty money came from.

@EUCommission

Ehi EU what about fighting the lobbies that use money trying to curb the EU laws in their favor ?

What about saying that schools cannot use commercial platforms from Google, Meta etc (protect the children, isn't it?) and quickly funding and creating a european stack based on open source software (public money > public code).

What about creating an official mastodon istance e.g.,where we can follow/interact with the parliamentarians without using US platforms that do not respect privacy etc ?

@EUCommission What is it about that the US can influence the rules regarding digital rights as reported by the newspaper “Der Standard” https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000315397/trump-erkaempft-sich-mitspracherecht-bei-digitalgesetzen-der-eu (Article in German) ?
I don’t want that the US can influence our European legislative process to soften them
Trump erkämpft sich Mitspracherecht bei Digitalgesetzen der EU

Ein neues Gremium der US-Regierung soll dafür eingesetzt werden. Europa erhält dafür Zollerleichterungen, heißt es

DER STANDARD
@EUCommission European values begin at not folding for techfash US corporate lobbyists.

@EUCommission Microsoft continues to spy and use information they extract from our children to sell it commercially

This has to 🫷🏼 stop
