Do you want #Facebook and your bank exchange information about you? (That is what they plan: wsj.com/articles/faceb…) #privacy #dataprotection #masssurveillance

The @guardian stops posting on X. "The benefits of X are now outweighed by the negatives. (...) X is a toxic platform and its owner Elon Musk uses it to shape political discourse." Question: Where is the fine line between engaging in a debate and playing by the extremists' rules?

A bit old, but important: a plea for nuance, in-between tones, quiet voices....

Aren't large language models like #ChatGPT the direct route to more and more clichés in our language? Isn't any language produced by ChatGPT "herd writing" and "herd thinking", as Martin Amis puts it in the clip? #ArtificialIntelligence #AI

Staying on Facebook makes us complicit in all this. This is why I left. (7/7) #DeleteFacebook

If you want to know more about it, you may read for example this theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… or one of the many other articles about the problem. (6/7)

I did it! After pulling out of WhatsApp some months ago, I today permanently deleted my @Facebook account. Why? 

A thread… (1/7)

@laszloan If you mean what you say, then 1) please stop polarizing, 2) please don't take me for the Commissioner. Kellemes hétvégét kívánok. 😉

@KosterEU The original Timmermans content.

@laszloan Nice try. - Where in my tweet was a "misrepresentation of Hungary"?

@KosterEU And I was hoping you would understand the irony: I am misrepresenting your tweet that is misrepresenting Hungary.

@laszloan I am not sure you understood my tweet. 😏

@KosterEU But let's not trust him to procure the vaccines. :)

@EPPGroup @RenewEurope @AndrejBabis @EmmanuelMacron Similar topic, different voting behaviour... Parliament calls for using ASAP the new mechanism, which allows cutting funds for countries meddling with the #RuleOfLaw. Huge majority of @EPPGroup, @TheProgressives, @RenewEurope, @GreensEFA voted in favour. @ecrgroup + ID against.

@EPPGroup @RenewEurope @AndrejBabis @EmmanuelMacron Here is the full list, who voted how: ("+" means condemning Babis, "-" means against condemning Babis, 0 = abstention)

Mr. Macron, it is time to walk the talk! You say you fight for the rule of law in Europe. But in reality, you protect your buddy #Babiš who breaches it. Today, the majority of @RenewEurope lacked the courage to say loud and clear - the rule of law is at the heart of EU values.

The devil is in the details! Yesterday, some MEPs voted against having any EU-wide vaccination certificate, others voted to include the Russian Sputnik vaccine (which did not pass the safety tests), others want to allow MS to disregard the certificate. Here come the details:⤵️

EU Member States should not add other travel restrictions on top of the #Covid19 Certificate. @Europarl_EN will vote for this today, before negotiating with MS. But some national government want to keep the possibility to ban certain neighbor countries... eppgroup.eu/newsroom/news/…

@JackMatthynssen 🤷🏼‍♂️

@KosterEU Thats quite a lockdown beard you’ve got!

@VladoBilcik @MSimecka @EP_Justice @EPPGroup This means 75% of MEPs want a fair, non-partisan annual check⚖️of #RuleOfLaw and #FundamentalRights in all EU countries, with country-specific recommendations, timelines, targets and possible sanctions like cutting EU funding. Here are the details, who voted how... 👇🏼

Congratulations to @MSimecka for his work as Rapporteur and our good cooperation in @EP_Justice on the Rule of Law Monitoring Mechanism. Strong support in #EPlenary ➡️ 521 ➕, 152 ➖, 21 abst. It is time for all institutions to act upon this clear vote. @EPPGroup
