Europe Calling ‘Hostile Takeover? – How tech billionaires are undermining our democracies & what the EU can do’
Register right here! Dear friends! It’s unmistakable: with Twitter, the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has bought himself a megaphone and is holding it right up to the world’s ears.

Success against election manipulation by Tiktok: EU Commission launches investigation into Romanian election
Dear friends, This is a bombshell. I am still speaking in the plenary session of the European Parliament about the role of platforms such as TikTok and X in the manipulation of elections and democracy (my speech can be read below), when the EU Commission announces the opening of a formal investigation into TikTok. What […]

Don’t leave us alone! – My political trip to Washington D.C.
Dear friends! Not even two weeks after the US election, I boarded a plane to Washington D.C. to talk to civil society, activists and decision-makers in Congress and the White House.

TikTok interferes with Romanian election to push extreme-right, pro-Putin candidate
Dear friends! The reports from Romania are extremely worrying. According to the latest press reports, declassified documents by Romania’s National Security Council show that videos supporting extreme-right, pro-Putin presidential candidate Călin Georgescu were pushed out in “swarms” on TikTok. The documents revealed that Georgescu’s campaign gained from a large-scale, coordinated social media effort, which seemed […]

My vote for Ursula von der Leyen and against Manfred Weber’s far-right course

Dark clouds at the European Parliament’s finest hour
Dear friends, Yesterday afternoon, the first hearings of the new EU Commissioners-designate began. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has put together 26 candidates (10 women and 16 men) in recent weeks, one from each member country.

Everyone should know that: Conservative EPP openly pacts with the extreme-right ESN in the European Parliament
Dear friends, Yesterday (Wednesday, 23 October 2024), our fears came true: For the first time ever, the group of the European People’s Party (EPP) has approved a motion by the far-right group ‘Europe of Sovereign Nations’ (ESN). The ESN is a new group, dominated by the German AfD, in which all the far-right extremists have […]

US election: My appeal for European courage to do things differently
Dear friends, I want to be completely honest with you: writing this email to you is difficult. Continuing on with the next EU Commission hearings this morning is difficult. Reading the worried messages from my friends in the US is extremely difficult. The election of Donald Trump has left us all waking up to a […]

Political advertising in the EU: fit for the digital age
The EU has agreed on new rules for political advertising to better protect elections across Europe. They include clear transparency obligations and restrictions to so-called “targeting” techniques. In the night of 7 November 2023, the EU co-legislators reached a provisional agreement. The Regulation was needed to ensure that advertising technologies cannot be used to spread disinformation […]
