It would be great if, in situations like this, EU institutions could use a Peertube instance instead of Google's YouTube platform.

Today, we remember all the victims murdered during the Holocaust, and we stand with those who survived.

We also mark the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

This dark memory must be passed to future generations.

Never again.

@jblockx @EUCommission @ecosia @Qwant I'm looking forward to the European search index in English that @Qwant and @ecosia are working on. The French index is partially already in production from what I've heard and is about to be followed by the German index.

@EUCommission opens proceedings to assist #Google in complying with interoperability and online search data sharing obligations under the Digital Markets Act (#DMA).

Excellent news which will hopefully assist @ecosia and @Qwant and their European Search Perspective (#eusp), amongst others.

After the trade agreement with MERCOSUR, which took 25 years, now a trade agreement with India after 20 years of negotiations. The EU stoically pushes onward. When chaos surrounds you, build bridges and stability. #ThanksEU
