Henna Virkkunen • Following •.. Executive Vice-President for Tech Sov... 1h • Today, the European Commission has preliminarily found that Meta's addictive design of Instagram and Facebook breaches the Digital Services Act. The investigation highlights that features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications and highly personalised recommender systems create addictive loops, especially for minors and vulnerable adults. The platform's current mitigation tools such as time-management settings, parental controls and safety-centre resources, are insufficient, as they can be easily dismissed or demand a high level of technical expertise from parents. The Commission now expects concrete design changes: disabling autoplay and infinite scroll by default, introducing meaningful screen-time breaks and re-balancing the recommender algorithm away from pure engagement-driven optimisation. Protecting the physical and mental wellbeing of Europeans must be a priority for all digital platforms. The DSA gives us a clear framework to hold them accountable, and I am fully committed to enforcing it. https://Inkd.in/gvcdpHei
Greens MEP to co-lead talks on tech sovereignty bill by Mathieu Pollet • 12 MINUTES AGO • 2 MINUTES READ Reinier van Lanschot, a Dutch member of the European Parliament for the Greens group, will be one of the top two lawmakers helming the work on the EU's new cloud and Al bill, he confirmed to POLITICO. "Al is moving so fast that the world we're in today is already different from yesterday's, and tomorrow's will be different again. We have no time to waste to minimize risks and seize opportunities in a European way," van Lanschot said in a statement. The Cloud and Al Development Act will aim to reduce the bloc's dependencies on foreign technology, a push driven largely by fears that Europe's overreliance on U.S. firms could be weaponized by Washington. "One thing is certain amid the uncertainty: Europe needs a strong, independent, trusted cloud ecosystem. One that earns public trust instead of loses it, as we see playing out in the U.S.," van Lanschot stressed. He will co-lead negotiations on behalf of the internal market committee, after the Conference of Presidents — the Parliament's top political forum — overruled the initial decision to allocate the file to the sole industry committee on Wednesday. The proposal will seek to boost homegrown tech champions through a broad industrial policy push, require member countries to assess and act to reduce their dependencies and direct more public money towards European firms via public procurement. The internal market committee cited these provisions in challenging the original attribution, and justifying its involvement. Lawmakers in the industry committee have yet to allocate the file to a political group after the decision was postponed until the challenge was settled.
Bereits am 17. Februar 1933 hatte er die Polizeibeamten angewiesen, mit „nationalen Verbänden" (SA, SS und Stahlhelm), „in deren Kreisen die wichtigsten staatserhaltenden Kräfte vertreten sind, das beste Einvernehmen herzustellen". Zeitgleich formulierte er wörtlich: „Polizeibeamte, die in Ausübung dieser Pflichten (gegen staatsfeindliche Organisationen) von der Schußwaffe Gebrauch machen, werden ohne Rücksicht auf die Folgen des Schußwaffengebrauchs von mir gedeckt" [51] Dies bedeutete praktisch die Anordnung eines Schießbefehls („Schießerlass") und beinhaltete die unverhohlene Aufforderung zu politischer Willkür zum Nutzen der NSDAP.
