Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Internet was supposed to be an oasis of freedom of speech and access to information without a hidden agenda, but platform owners figured out how powerful tools they had in their hands, and began using them to increase their power and wealth. Today, the flow of information and emotions of almost all humanity is decided by three people: owners of X, Meta and TikTok. W…

Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruction, and that's how we need to start treating it. Lying, sowing hatred and conspiracy theories, inciting one social group against another and inflaming extremism is a great evil. Hundreds of millions of European Union citizens are under constant attack, with fatalities. We mus…

Findings of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women on Poland's abortion law (debate)

We Polish women want to have the same rights as other European women. We want to decide for ourselves about our bodies and our health. Polish women do not want to practice abortion tourism and do not want to go underground. MEPs, MPs from PiS and the Confederacy, who unfortunately are no longer here in the room, lied.
