The #europeanunion #eurobarometer survey on #socialmedia use makes for sobering reading.
The majority of European citizens now get their political news not via home grown channels but filtered and targeted by foreign adtech conglomerates. With all the implications of this for democracy, sovereignty and culture.
Glad you asked: neither the #fediverse nor #bluesky are being mentioned at all. European leaders fast asleep at the wheel as always.

I have lived in #Tallinn ( #Estonia) for five months in 2024, and I am receiving an email inviting me to vote in the local elections.
I moved to #Rotterdam ( #Netherlands) two months ago and I still don’t exist here, because I could not find a home soon enough, thus I don’t have a BSN.
Here is another example of stark differences among the countries in the European Union.
Ukraine sanction's an invader oil/gas platform.🔥
Regional threat: Terrorist russia’s continued use of hybrid and full-scale warfare in the Black Sea poses a severe risk to the wider region, it will produce devastating geopolitical and economic consequences if unchecked. Orc black fleet must be permanently neutralized.
Odesa and deterrence: Ensuring #Ukraine retains control of Odesa and its coastline is central to Black Sea security, After the war the Kremlin's defeat must be total and final. #EuropeanUnion must ensure robust, long-term deterrence measures to prevent moscow criminals from severing Ukraine’s access to the sea. Crimea belongs to Ukraine, and the invaders need to be destroyed and expelled.
Western efforts to secure the Black Sea, reinforced by recent regional cooperation on mine countermeasures and security initiatives are a must.

The United States will provide Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes on russia’s energy infrastructure, U.S. officials said. Intelligence will allow #Ukraine to target “refineries, pipelines, power stations and other infrastructure far from its borders” in an effort to weaken russia’s war economy.
Keep in mind the #us regime's performative announcements so you have to take it with a gallon of salt. Very likely to turn into "Intels arrive in 2 weeks" iterations.
1. I'll believe it when we see it.
2. Can't have someone else develop a competitive alternative.
3. Strings will be attached - ropes and cables even.
4. Release the Epstein files.

Hey #EU folx! Say NO to Chat Control (aka the government backdooring and scanning all your communications)! Because that's fucked, yo.

The UN cannot fulfill its mission while a state waging a war of aggression holds an unlawful veto over its decisions.
The permanent seat was created for the USSR, which ceased to exist in 1991 – Russia simply occupied it by changing a nameplate, without any legal procedure. Nowhere in the #UN Charter is Russia listed as a permanent member, and to this day, that seat remains reserved for the non-existent Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
This contradiction undermines the UN’s credibility and blocks action to protect peace. It is absurd that those responsible for killing, sexual abuse, and abducting children occupy a seat entrusted with maintaining global security.
Russia’s Expulsion from UN An Urgent Necessity.

The final hours. The last chance. But not the last fight.
Today, 🇩🇪 Germany said NO to ChatControl 💥 This could be the turning point 🔄 But it is not the end.
If tomorrow we manage to block this proposal - it will be a victory 🎉 But digital freedom does not defend itself. It must be protected. Every day. In every decision. In every update. In every voice 📢
Now is the time to do everything that is still left:
- Write to your MEP 
- Share information 🔁
- Mobilize others 🤝
- Do not stay silent 🤐
Because even if we win tomorrow - it is only the beginning. Because even if we lose - it is not the end.
Freedom does not vanish loudly. It disappears quietly
Unless we defend it ✊
