🚨 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

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

👀 Is that EU competition chief Teresa Ribera breaking up Google with a hammer??

Today we're sending a loud message to @EUCommission to dismantle Google's toxic advertising monopoly! #BreakUpBigTech. Great work @edri @lobbycontrol @rebalance_now

Our YouGov poll found people in France, Germany and Spain DON'T want the EU to back down against Big Tech and Trump! @vonderleyen https://peoplevsbig.tech/large-majority-of-french-german-and-spanish-public-back-tough-eu-stance-on-big-tech-despite-risk-to-trump-relations/

🚨 NEW POLL: roughly TWICE as many people in France, Germany and Spain want the EU to break up Big Tech giants, as those who don't.

@EUCommission will soon decide whether to dismantle Google's toxic adtech monopoly. Will it listen to EU citizens and #breakupbigtech?

Google's monopoly power rips off consumers, pollutes our information environment, and destroys the news media. A US judge recently ruled that it is illegal.

Now it's time for @EU_Commission to act! #BreakUpBigTech

Today we're sending a loud message to the EU to stand up to the tech oligarchy and #BreakUpBigTech! 📣📣

We have delivered a petition from +115,000 people calling on
@EU_Commission to break up Google, ahead of its major ruling on Google's toxic online advertising monopoly.

🚨 New: For too long, Google's monopolistic practices have undercut competition & blocked innovation. Together with Duck Duck Go, search engines, browsers, civil + consumer groups, we're calling on the EU Commission to act. The Digital Markets Act must be enforced.

We have tools, let's use 'em! 🛠️

The internet was 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 to be a space where anything was possible and everyone has an equal voice. That feels less and less true - especially on 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 platforms (owned by Tech Bro Billionaires) more than others ('decentralised' ones)

When someone you don’t know asks for your personal information, most of us know it is probably a scam - especially when they promise the world. With the romance between AI and Billionaire Tech Bros strengthening, how do we know it is not a scam? Which governments (if any) promise to keep our personal information and planet safe?

Head to the link in our bio to read all about it - brilliant reporting from Alice McCool.
