@ItsHawx @EU_Commission Thank you for the reply. We will explore ways of improving industry standards, including a code of conduct. On ECIs: they represent a democratic tool for citizens to bring to the table issues & led to concrete results, like for the ECIs "Right to Water".

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

@Thornskade @EU_Commission Hi, thank you for your reply. ECIs like Save Bees and Farmers or My Voice My Choice have led to concrete results, and they are a democratic tool for EU citizens to bring forward relevant topics on the EU agenda.

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

@namedXbird @EU_Commission Hello, thanks for your reply. We are not closing the door to enhancing consumer rights in this area. Actions, such as a code of conduct on managing video games’ end of life will be looked into to improve industry standards.

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

@LJITimate @EU_Commission Hello, thanks for your reply. ECIs give EU citizens the opportunity to bring topics on the EU agenda. They are an important tool that led to concrete results. Two examples are Right to Water & My Voice My Choice. In this case we will follow up with a code of conduct.

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

@VinderTomat @EU_Commission Hello @VinderTomat, thanks for the reply. Codes of conduct put in place in the past have proved effective & represent a productive way for the industry and consumers to come together & discuss. If the self-regulatory avenue does not work out, we will analyse the situation.

The #DSA sets clear responsibilities for online platforms to tackle illegal content & help create safer digital spaces.

Addressing illegal hate speech is not about limiting freedom of expression, it is about ensuring that fundamental rights are protected online, too.

#NoToHate

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

@Linanry 1/2 Hello Linanry, illegal hate speech is not defined by the DSA itself, but by European or national laws applicable in EU countries. In EU law, illegal hate speech is defined as the public incitement to violence or hatred on the basis of certain characteristics ↓
