Protection of minors online (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much to all of you here today for participating in this debate about this very important own-initiative report. First and foremost, I will say that I heard no one say that the internet is safe for kids today. So I think we all agree that it is not a very safe space, and therefore we need to do something.

Communication on the Democracy Shield (debate)

Mr President! Our democracy is under pressure. We live in a digital age where large platforms act as arenas for public debate. But the platforms are not designed for information or proper debate. They are designed for attention. The more extreme attitudes you express, the more you are seen and shared. It has also become harder to figure out what is really on social media, and this is undermining t…
