🇪🇺 Spain leads the way: Time to regulate Big Tech & protect kids
Pedro Sánchez’s speech at #WorldGovernmentsSummit was a game-changer: Spain will ban social media for under-16s and hold platforms legally accountable for online harms. Why? Because the current model is broken:
✅ Our kids aren’t products—they’re exposed to addictive algorithms, misinformation, and exploitation.
✅ Privacy isn’t optional—personal data shouldn’t be the price for “free” services.
✅ Europe must take the lead—with strong regulation, sovereign tech, and a fair digital market.
As I prep my Windows-to-Mac migration (and a 100% European tech stack), I’m asking:
🔹 What EU-based tools do you use to replace Outlook (email/calendar), Notion (notes), or Office? (I’m already on @Infomaniak for email/cloud—what else?)
🔹 How can we push for similar laws in Portugal & the EU?
