The @EUCommission announced it is exploring a new EU-US “dialogue” on digital rules, as Washington piles on the pressure over how the EU enforces its tech laws.

“If confirmed, this is nothing short of complete capitulation to the #Trump admin’s coercive tactics,” said #Greens MEP @SLagodinsky.

“No need to do this,” said liberal MEP Sandro Gozi. “The Commission must implement the #DSA + #DMA, not discuss them with the US. It’s a clear attempt to slow down implementation and weaken enforcement.”

I moved my #bluesky account successfully to #leafplaza, a European derivative on #eu servers.

I did the movement not by myself, because my BS-Account was too huge (30 GB+), so the wonderful Leaf Plaza-Support helped me and did the movement overnight manually.
