At the #EUTechSociety with @edri & 40 civil society groups to discuss with newly elected EU decision-makers. We count on the new EU Parliament to ensure a fair & protective digital environment, with emerging technologies that benefit, not harm, our lives. beuc.eu/sites/default/files/…

In Versailles, the French Parliament confirmed the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution. A collective victory and a world first ! Now let’s have the courage to make this a European right !

… it’s more precisely a question of political will *of businesses*. In other words, we need adapted business models.
… and we’ve received the lobbyists note in our Strasbourg offices, as we do each time copyright arguments are used. Except that geo-blocking is not about copyright. Territoriality of copyright can by nature adapt to consumers needs: it’s a question of political will.

Today, the EU Parliament will vote on a report on the 2018 geo-blocking regulation, calling on the Commission to review the regulation to see if AV services can be included in its scope. Despite what rightsholders claim, ending geo-blocking is unlikely to kill cultural diversity.

🎉👇 Big day today!
🚨Breaking! The European Parliament just called for rules to tackle addictive design of online services! My report was adopted with 545 votes in favour. The Parliament is clear. Europe has to lead the way. Now it's up to the Commission to turn this into proposals.

The upcoming European AI Board created by the #EUAIact should tackle this same objective: Think AI on the long run, out of the 'AI big tech' only discourse. Social benefit run by non-profit goals will be key for humanity. Let's get ready for this.
Breaking news: The U.S. Congress just introduced a bipartisan bill called CREATE AI Act, which calls for a National AI Research Resource. This bill builds upon work that Stanford HAI has supported through thought leadership, research, and engagement. eshoo.house.gov/media/press-…

The EU regulator has to take stock of the national implementations of the EU #Copyright Directive: hope we can start with at least a public hearing on the topic in #EuropeanParliament #JURI committee very soon!

Replying to @Senficon
Christina Angelopoulos points out that in order for an EU directive to lend itself to verbatim transposition by Member States, it must be of sufficient quality. 😇 #Article17 is not exactly known for its clarity. #FilteredFutures

Thanks to the #ECJ ruling, national courts should have more guidance as to how to implement 'upload filters' obligations while respecting fundamental rights. Less requests for preliminary rulings ahead? curia.europa.eu/juris/docume…

The more gas and oil we buy from Russia, the more we fund Putin's war. The people in #Ukraine are fighting for their freedom. We need to support them and reduce our dependence on Russian energy. #StandWithUkraine greens.eu/ukraine
