Antidemocratic groups love to spread fear mongering messages about evil powerful women. Here the far right, pro-Russian groups and the platforms become a toxic cocktail leading to waves of hate on social media. 8/

Director of @DefendDemocracy @StollmeyerEU: the algorithms of tech platforms, Russian intervention and the far right have one thing in common: they flourish on polarisation. Without a common truth, we cannot have effective policies. We need to defend democracy. 7/

Online hate does not stay on the internet, it eventually has offline effects and comes back on the streets, as Finnish Minister of Environment and Climate Change @MariaOhisalo said. This is a direct threat to our society and democracy. 5/

Still in our online public space, online platforms’ profit-driven algorithms continue to amplify online hate and disinformation, because that’s what people click on most.
Both the far right and pro-Russian actors have mastered the art of using these algorithms against us. 4/

51% of women hesitate to express their opinion online due to fear of online hate.
Increasingly women do not want to enter politics.
This strikes the heart of our democracy. We can only speak of democracy if everyone can participate safely, freely and equally. 3/

Online hate speech is often not a single angry tweet. They are coordinated attacks on women, people of colour and other minorities. The purpose is to polarize and to silence us - and unfortunately it works... 2/

✅ Productveiligheid naar de 21e eeuw!

Bij productveiligheid wordt nu vaak uitgegaan van de 'gemiddelde' man, waardoor sommige producten onveilig zijn voor andere genders. Nieuwe EU-regels veranderen dit: een goede stap om de #GenderSafetyGap te dichten. https://groenlinks.nl/nieuws/gender-voortaan-verplicht-onderdeel-van-checks-op-productveiligheid

Amazon exploits its workers, the planet and our communities and barely pays any taxes whilst doing so. We will not stand by and let it happen.

That is why I joined @UNI_Europa to play #Amazonopoly ahead of this #BlackFriday day of resistance. Time to #MakeAmazonPay ✊
