A Stronger Digital Europe

The connected world we live in has brought many benefits, from instant communication to vast amounts of accessible information. However, it also poses significant challenges. Manipulative algorithms have been used to spread misinformation, and large platforms have wielded disproportionate power in digital markets. The Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) are crucial steps to address these issues by promoting transparency, fostering competition, and protecting users’ rights.

Beyond this, Chat Control regulations aim to strike a balance between safe online communications and the right to freedom of expression. The AI Act seeks to regulate and foster trustworthy artificial intelligence that respects human rights and avoids discrimination. Tackling geo-blocking practices aims to create a truly unified digital market, while the Digitalization and Administration Law seeks to modernize public services for a more efficient and transparent government, making them accessible and efficient for all citizens, regardless of background.

In this evolving landscape, it’s crucial to ensure that digital advancements serve the public good, uphold fundamental rights and democratic values, promote fairness, and foster innovation. By addressing these challenges head-on, we can build a stronger digital Europe that benefits both business and all citizens.
