Keep Me Posted EU

The KMPEU campaign advocates for inclusive digital progress that respects individual choices and ensures accessible alternatives.​ We are not just data points. We are lived experiences. #KMPEU #Whychoicematters

Erika's testimonial speaks volumes, highlighting that while many embrace digital tools, others remain cautious about leaving digital footprints. This isn't about resistance to technology but about personal comfort and informed choices. #Righttochoose #KMPEU

The Keep Me Posted campaign is in action at the EU Parliament! Today, we’re discussing why preserving access to paper-based communication is essential for consumer rights and accessibility. A key step towards a fairer, more inclusive Europe!

Proud to partner with the European Disability Forum (EDF) to champion everyone’s right to choose how they receive essential communications. Together, we’re making accessible communication a reality for all. #EDF #KeepMePostedEU #InclusiveCommunication #ConsumerChoice

🔒 Many feel safer managing finances with paper statements over online services. The tangible nature builds trust & reliability—no digital breaches, no tech issues. Offering both digital & physical options ensures everyone’s comfort. #RightToChoose

📢 Exciting news! MEP Sebastian Everding now supports the Keep Me Posted EU campaign! Together, we’re advocating for the Right to Choose – ensuring access & inclusion for all. Let’s make informed communication a reality across Europe! 🌍 #KeepMePostedEU #RightToChoose

Physical communication like letters and mail correspondence can help bridge the gap for those without basic digital skills. It guarantees essential communication to everyone and this way, they stay informed and included, reducing their risk of exclusion. #RightToChoose

25.2% of the EU population lives in rural areas, and physical mail can be a lifeline for these communities. Traditional mail offers a reliable way to receive crucial information. The difference between being informed and being left out is your #RightToChoose.

Maintaining physical mail options ensures that people without digital access or skills can still participate in banking and payment systems. #RightToChoose campaign guarantees inclusiveness and access to crucial services for everyone.

Communication choice matters! #KMPEU campaign ensures that no one is excluded from essential information and services. Digitalisation is beneficial, but without alternatives, it risks marginalising those who lack digital skills or resources. #RightToChoose

Not everyone has equal access to technology or the skills to use it effectively. #KMPEU focuses on people Right to choose how to communicate, making sure digitisation is inclusive and benefits everyone. Are we all truly benefiting from digitisation? #WhyChoiceMatters #KMPEU

The European Commission’s ongoing public consultation on digital fairness for consumers is the perfect opportunity for Policymakers to ensure that new legislation does NOT create legal gaps that did not previously exist. 👉bit.ly/3RMTSec #betterregulation #consumers

@FriendsofEurope @EvaMaydell @EMInternational @EYL40 When companies and institutions give citizens “no choice” or coerced to use digital solutions, “trust” with users may be difficult to establish or re establish. During time of uncertainty, “security” is important for citizens.

"The speed of the [digital] transition is often determined by the uptake and willingness of society to embrace it or not to do so," notes @EvaMaydell, President @EMInternational, MEP and @EYL40. #ConnectedEurope #FoEDebate

🔴 STARTING NOW | Our #ConnectedEurope #FoEDebate begins! On the agenda: 🤖 #DigitalDecade ⌨️ #FightMisinformation 🇪🇺 #FutureofEurope ...and much more! 🔗 frnds.eu/NSCDigital

@FriendsofEurope @StollmeyerEU @DefendDemocracy Should legislation address company and institutions that coerced or push citizens to accept #digital solutions as only solution What are your thoughts?

On the #DigitalRevolution's impact on our privacy, Alice Stollmeyer (@StollmeyerEU) stresses the need for technologies that have privacy features "by design". This could protect those at risk in authoritarian states and backsliding democracies. #FoEDebate #ConnectedEurope

@FriendsofEurope @StollmeyerEU @DefendDemocracy Shouldn’t the #righttochoose how you would like to receive communication, vote, submit taxes be fundamental to European Democracy and part of its values?

Speaking at our #ConnectedEurope #FoEDebate, Alice Stollmeyer (@StollmeyerEU), Founder & Executive Director of @DefendDemocracy, cautions, "Humanity is now inventing and deploying technology that transforms our societies in ways we cannot handle."

@FriendsofEurope @trishajuleen @VUBrussel @Brussels_School The key word is “social” in “social contract”. Technology is a solution. How a car is driven depends on the driver.

Trisha Meyer (@trishajuleen), from @VUBrussel’s @Brussels_School, notes that if we want to move towards a #NewSocialContract, we must ask: 1⃣ What do we actually want it to look like? 2⃣ How do we shape digital to fit that? #ConnectedEurope #FoEDebate

Question: Shouldn’t the #righttochoose how you would like to receive communication, vote, submit taxes be fundamental to European Democracy? In this case #Citizens should not be coerced or pushed to accept #digital solutions What are your thoughts? #ConnectedEurope

Thank You for an honest and open speech by MEP @EvaMaydell. Technology is a great tool. It is up to how it is used. We can be thankful how it has helped citizens especially during the pandemic. We agree that uptake of society is important n we advocate their #righttochoose always
