The EU has published a world-first risk landscape report under the #DSA.
It flags systemic risks on big platforms — from illegal content to generative AI— and tracks how platforms are addressing them.
More transparency. More accountability.
A safer online space for all.

An #EU Member State is about to return to the practice of taking political prisoners. It's a shame for a Union established to prevent such things, among others, from happening again #Hungary
For the first time in EU history, someone faces criminal charges for organising a Pride march.
Géza Buzás-Hábel, a teacher and organiser of Pécs Pride in Hungary, could be jailed for up to a year, simply for leading a peaceful march for equality. 🧵

Today, the conservatives (EPP) passed a major piece of EU legislation with the far-right groups in the EU Parliament, marking the breakdown of the cordon sanitaire. The EPP, under Weber, has decided to sacrifice long-term principles and stability for short-term political gains.

A stark example of the spill-over effects of #illiberalism
Conference participation question: Would you agree to attend a symposium on the rule of law in an expert capacity in a situation where the conference organisers have also sought to invite fake judges and pseudo experts in the name of “dialogue”, “political balance” and/or “diversity of views”?

Leaked: The EU Commission Work Programme is titled EUROPE’s INDEPENDENCE MOMENT (!).
How does @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu intend to attain independence?
By essentially de-regulating the Union, what will prove self defeating as this is already building new and old dependency #euco

May be also a booster for #Orban's weak performance in the polls ahead of the parliamentary elections in #Hungary next year
The Budapest meeting between Putin and Trump marks:
- strategic use of Hungary as the weakest link of the EU as geopolitical player
- subservient Orban owing more to Russia and the US than the EU
- a gift to Viktor Orban at the time he bashes the EU to save his political future.

The fascists are showing their real faces. No more pretense. Orban and his government have no place in a Union built on the ashes left by Nazism and faschism
Hungary will replicate a policy announced by US President Trump, and designate Antifa a terrorist organisation, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday.
Antifa, short for "anti-fascist,” is an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militant groups and is not a singular entity.

Superstition may be important for some, but a much bigger problem is the fact that #Hungary is ideologically aligned with #Russia, thus not offering a neutral or at least a friendly ground. The fact that Trump even proposed Budapest as a venue speaks volumes
Budapest? Not everyone may remember this, but in 1994 Ukraine already got assurances of territorial integrity from the US, Russia and the UK. In Budapest. Maybe I’m superstitious, but this time I would try to find another place.
