I'm for 100%, considering how long these companies have been disrupting democracy on purpose.

@EUCommission STOP THE CENSORSHIP AND THE SPYING ON US

@EUCommission So all social media, including Mastodon, should be banned too?

@RazvanNicolescu02@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu https://break3.social/notes/aiejgddc9ljk0tao

@quincy
I second that.
@energisch_ @EUCommission

@EUCommission Errr... Mastodon has infinite scroll!

@EUCommission right move, only first three listed aspects are misleading, because practically every application with a news feed does the same thing. The recommender system and ignoring the parental controls on the other hand are plausible.

@EUCommission I preliminary found that the European Commission is focussing to much on petty issues instead of focussing on:

* A coherent energy & grid strategy
* The demographic collapse & lack of labor mobility
* A truly unified European capital market
* The erosion of democratic legitimacy through the judicial expansion.

The European Commission can now excercise its right to reply to me.

@EUCommission Based on those wordings, I don't see the difference to Instagram, Facebook or Snap.

@EUCommission Those same indicators of addictive design are present when it comes to Youtube, Facebook and Insta as well. Why aren't fines being issued in that case? Just so you don't anger Trump? The DSA should be applied to every platform, american ones are not an exception!!

@EUCommission other platforms are same. reddit,instagram,x all are designned to keep user as long as possible

@EUCommission preliminarily*
Anyway wonderful news!

@RazvanNicolescu02 @EUCommission Mastodon does not use an algoritmic timeline, nor does it optimize for keeping people hooked to the screen as long as possible. Big difference.

@EUCommission
#Mastodon also has those design features!

@EUCommission, financial fines are not enough. If a company is allowed to still operate in EU while just paying fines and being sued, it may just accept it as a business cost.

Instead, when company fails to comply with our laws, it must stop operations in EU. They have chance to comply, even several. If they are not capable of using them, they are threat to Europe and must be dealt as such.

@hyevans @EUCommission …and Alphabet. And Amazon. And Microslop. And OpenAI.

@albertcardona @EUCommission What part of addictive and manipulative flew past you? That’s what it does, capturing attention.

@hyevans @EUCommission Did anyone ever think differently? The Ellisons and the rest of the oligarchs are all about propaganda!

@EUCommission

ban Insta, TikTok and Youtube Shorts.

I can't come up with any good reasons we should let a foreign company have this level of control of europeans minds, specially youth.

And it's not about "free speech", this we get with a mastodon for example.

This is about giving the power to direct attention to whatever a foreign entity wants and thus control of public opinion.

@EUCommission @stux, well, when I check, even #Loops have infinite scroll and autoplay As a free software and decentralized application, still better than TikTok, but done similar issues are there also
