PeopleVsBigTech

No privileged US access to Europe’s tech law oversight.

We call on the European Commission to halt plans for a new “dialogue” with the US that could weaken enforcement of EU tech laws.

🚨 New report from People vs Big Tech: Algorithms on X & TikTok disproportionately push content from far right parties to new users, squeezing out moderate parties. EU & French authorities must enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy.

Out now: @somo@mastodon.ngo presents the Big Tech Lobby Playbook 🔍🚨
It exposes how Big Tech’s corporate lobbying is in a league of its own.
These giants don’t just engage with lawmakers and policy processes - they shape the
environment in which laws are imagined and debated.

New YouGov survey across 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇵🇱 finds strong support for EU enforcement action on X.

60–78% say the EU should act further if X fails to address breaches of European law. Of those, 62–73% — nearly half of all respondents — would support banning X in the EU if it refuses to comply.

Clear public backing for data privacy, transparency, and rule of law online.

🚨 The EU’s “Digital Omnibus” is being sold as simplification. Analysis shows something else: major changes that tilt the rules toward Big Tech — weakening privacy, AI safeguards, and accountability.

And yes: the far right is helping push this deregulatory agenda.

👀 Is that EU competition chief Teresa Ribera breaking up Google with a hammer??

Today we're sending a loud message to @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu to dismantle Google's toxic advertising monopoly! #BreakUpBigTech. Great work @edri@eupolicy.social @lobbycontrol@bewegung.social @rebalance_now@bewegung.social

Google's monopoly power rips off consumers, pollutes our information environment, and destroys the news media.

Today's €2.95 billion fine is a start, but won't touch Google's toxic ad-tech monopoly. The EU must hold firm and now break up Google. @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-slaps-google-with-2-95b-fine-for-adtech-abuse/

🚨 NEW POLL: roughly TWICE as many people in France, Germany and Spain want the EU to break up Big Tech giants, as those who don't.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu will soon decide whether to dismantle Google's toxic adtech monopoly. Will it listen to EU citizens and #breakupbigtech?
