As a parent and EU citizen, @EUCommission's take on age verification worries me:
- My insight: gatekeeping social media through ID-based age verification methods creates new privacy, security, and freedom-of-speech risks for ALL, but will fail protecting KIDS in any meaningful way.
- Why: 1/You underestimate the chilling effect an ID-verified internet will have on trade unionists, activists, whistleblowers, and more broadly on anyone who wants to share their views online.

@EUCommission Have you already fixed climate change, worked out how to provide homes for everyone who lives in the EU, sorted out good quality healthcare for everyone, ensured education to a high standard everywhere ?

I don't see anything in your list which is as important as these points, and I can easily make a longer list.

@EUCommission Wait, what, AI Gigafactories? So you think if you call data centers a different name, they would suddenly become ok in public eyes? Well, may be call war a special military operation then?

@EUCommission ah yeah she will announche she caved in to US surveillance program : Social Media & child safety online ...

@EUCommission eh... the climate emergency anyone..?

@EUCommission the US have a backdoor in every computer run on Intel or Amd. Remotely disabling all those machines would be fatal for the EU. Yet no safety goes into this achilles' heel.

@EUCommission "our 5 core priorities" *shows 4 core priorities*

@EUCommission There are many good things we've achieved and I'm particularly glad to see, finetuning the union to work better. And our support for Ukraine is appropriately strong. It will be great to eventually welcome them to the union.

Our fight against extremism and propaganda are not sufficient at present. They will torpedo the union if not tackled more decisively.

You can't be very proud of "protecting" children by actually excluding them and instituting awful internet ID controls on literally everyone in the union. We voted against this; you've gone against the popular will.

Stop with the AI garbage already. You must be aware how widely hated those huge, loud, resource-destroying datacenters are.

@EUCommission apparently learning to count has never been a priority

@EUCommission What about f*cking CLIMATE DISASTER?
Climate is only mentioned 13 times in 88 pages, carbon only 12.
All your plans mean nothing if there's no livable Europe left.

Instead of following the misguided lead of the US into an imploding slopworld, be better! Find radical alternatives, not half assed copies. Don't try competing in a race to the bottom.

Give us a future to look forward too. Less AI, less surveillance, less corporate power, strict rules on algorithms and tax the rich!

@EUCommission That’s either four or seven.

@EUCommission digital censorship and forced identity verification in the name of "child safety", no thank you.

@EUCommission this plan SUC(K)S. Please stop brown-nosing Trump, we don't need more military spend, EU oligarchs, slop, or surveillance. We need a planet for our grandchildren to live on, and to stand up against crimes against humanity

@EUCommission 5 priorities but only 4 points mentioned? Did AI generate this post?

Seriously. Stop your "AI" madness.

Mass surveillance and authoritarian methods aren't "child protection".

Put the climate catastrophe back on the list. It's already too late. We need to do damage control!

Stop the neoliberal agenda that drives fascism.

Thank you.

@EUCommission yeah, nobody needs a livable planet if you can't endanger all citizen's privacy and create shrimp jesus images... Climate change is nothing to worry about...

@EUCommission Scratch the 200b for AI, allocate one of them for damage control when the AI bubble bursts & transfer two thirds of the rest to environmental efforts & one third to European digital autonomy (NOT sovereignty!).
