For a very long time it was all #digital and little #democracy. Today we reverse the course of time. Democracy is back 💪 @DigitalEU
With the #DSA we create the 1st ever rules for internet.
It requires platforms to:
👉 remove illegal content while keeping your #FreeSpeech
👉 check the ID of online sellers to avoid unsafe products
👉 be more transparent on how algorithms select the content you see
👉 and more
Dear Twitter users, your #FreedomOfSpeech is your fundamental #right. So is your online safety.
The Digital Services Act #DSA comes into force today 💪
It's yours.
Here’s what’s in it for you (thread) 👇
In 🇪🇺, women are on average paid 13.0% less than men. This means that for every €1 a man makes, a woman will make €0.87.
Today is #EqualPayDay. And we have one message: equal work = equal pay.

Don't forget to send your questions! Looking forward to our talk 😊

We want our #rights & #values respected online as much as offline.
Our Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles will make this crystal clear.
Today with @EUCouncil and @europarl_en, we reached a new step to make it a reality 👍 @berndlange @EU2022_CZ
Enabling #FreeSpeech while making sure that posts containing illegal content are taken down.
That’s the balance we strike with the Digital Services Act #DSA.
Great to be on #RedditTalk this morning 👉 https://bit.ly/3hEvIEu

RT @vonderleyen: My deepest condolences to Türkiye and the Turkish people after the brutal attack that claimed lives in Istanbul yesterday.
My thoughts are with the families of the victims.
I look forward to our discussion!
RT @AkaashMaharaj: (1/5) On 14 November, I will hold a #RedditTalk with @EU_Commission Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager.
We will discuss the #DigitalServicesAct, the free world's most forceful effort to bring public oversight & accountability to social media.
RT @EU_Commission: Peace. Solidarity. Dignity.
Freedom. Unity. Europe. 🇪🇺
Today, we mark the 33rd anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – a decisive moment in European history.
Anyone is welcome to do business in 🇪🇺. But only of you play by our rules. The overwhelming vote @europarl_en
#EPlenary to prevent distortive foreign #subsidies is great. It shows how Europe can achieve ground-breaking legislation when we work together. And achieve it quickly.
RT @SecRaimondo: Yesterday, I spoke with @EU_Commission EVP Margrethe @vestager to discuss the upcoming U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council Ministerial and working together to strengthen the transatlantic alliance. https://www.commerce.gov/news/press-releases/2022/11/readout-secretary-raimondos-meeting-eu-commission-executive-vice
Russia’s war on #Ukraine & the recent attacks on key parts of our infrastructure are wake-up calls. Our Security & Defence package will step-up
👉 our military to move faster
👉 our capacity to defend military & civilian assets from #cyberattacks

Great to talk again with @SecRaimondo ! We’re making good progress ahead of the next #TTC on 5 December. Full support for the work of the Inflation Reduction Act task force towards positive outcomes
RT @EU_Competition: #EUCompetition Commission 🇪🇺 seeks feedback on draft revised Market Definition Notice 🔗https://europa.eu/!ttyHkX
Yes. And a big loss for tax fairness.
RT @lewis_crofts: Big loss for @vestager and @EU_Competition
This was an important case in taking on sweetheart tax deals. EU judges say it was for Luxembourg to define ‘normal’ tax system for comparison purposes. Not the EC.
RT @salvadostv: 💶Ganó 51.000 millones en la UE pero pagó 0 impuestos en Luxemburgo ¿Cómo se entiende eso, @vestager? #SalvadosAmazon
Russia’s senseless war against #Ukraine continues. We have prolonged the #TemporaryCrisisFramework to enable #MemberStates to address the evolving needs. We need to both: tackle the #crisis now and prepare for a sustainable future.

With our contribution to the @UNTechEnvoy we promote a human-centered & inclusive digitalisation that is truly global 🌎. @gioasempre we share the same ambition for an open, free and fair internet and I’m looking forward to working together!
