🚨 New report from People vs Big Tech: Algorithms on X & TikTok disproportionately push content from far right parties to new users, squeezing out moderate parties. EU & French authorities must enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy.
New YouGov survey across 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇵🇱 finds strong support for EU enforcement action on X.
60–78% say the EU should act further if X fails to address breaches of European law. Of those, 62–73% — nearly half of all respondents — would support banning X in the EU if it refuses to comply.
Clear public backing for data privacy, transparency, and rule of law online.
🚨 The EU’s “Digital Omnibus” is being sold as simplification. Analysis shows something else: major changes that tilt the rules toward Big Tech — weakening privacy, AI safeguards, and accountability.
And yes: the far right is helping push this deregulatory agenda.
In a new analysis we trace Big Tech's fingerprints on the Digital Omnibus proposals - a major deregulation of EU digital laws including the GDPR and the AI Act. They are helped in this attempt by the Trump administration and the European far right.
📣 Over 200,000 people have signed petitions demanding action.

🚨 Brussels, today 🚨Ursula! Stand up for Europe – not for Trump’s tech bros!
As the EU unveils its “Digital Omnibus” today, we're rolling out billboards calling on @EUCommission to stop bending to US and Big Tech pressure and enforce our digital laws #standupursula✊@edri
Europe’s digital rights are on the chopping block.
We - 127 CSOs & trade unions - are sounding the alarm over the European Commission’s forthcoming #DigitalOmnibus proposals.
Behind “simplification” lies a deregulation agenda that threatens the EU's digital framework - GDPR, ePrivacy, AI Act, DSA & DMA - the very laws that keep our data safe, hold govts & corporations accountable, prevent AI from determining our life chances, & protect us from mass surveillance.

💥 Smash the monopoly!
Today outside the @EUCommission we gave Google a taste of its own broken system.
Google’s power goes far beyond search. From Maps to YouTube, from Android to ads, it controls huge parts of the digital world — harming media diversity, weakening democracy, and putting too much power in one company’s hands. It's time to break it up 🔨
The Commission recently fined Google a massive €2.95 billion over abusive practices in adtech.
But now @EUCommission must finish the job and break up this monopoly once and for all. https://www.euractiv.com/news/protesters-outside-berlaymont-urge-eu-to-break-up-google
