The EU is coast to coast! Thanks to @NLinSF in San Francisco & the Hungarians in Los Angeles for hosting me and @MichaelCurtisEU during our visit. I see the work the Consuls are doing for your countries and for the EU — bringing Europeans & Americans closer together. #TeamEurope

In less than 24hrs in San Francisco @EUAmbUS & @EUmichaelcurtis joined #TeamEuropeSF for a discussion on EU-California relations, hosted a roundtable on #defensetech & concluded the day with an enriching discussion with @McFaul. Always a pleasure to have @EUintheUS in SF !

Really grateful to our @EUinSF team for all they do to promote EU values, tech, and digital policy on the West Coast. The tech space is sure to remain exciting as we head into 2025, and I’m glad we have them working for @EUintheUS.

The European Commission is consulting on data access for researchers under #DSA
Some say this is unprecedented and will open opportunities to researchers to contribute to online governance. We agree.

The research community is key in safeguarding digital spaces.
We are seeking views on the rules for researchers to access platform data under the Digital Services Act.
For the first time, they'll study systemic risks and assess platforms’ risk mitigation measures in the EU ↓
