Fines are never good news.

The real good news? When companies fully comply with the rules democratically adopted to protect our internal market.

Until then, we must stand firm.

Le #DSA à soufflé hier sa première bougie 🎂👶🏻

Et il n’a pas attendu son anniversaire pour obtenir des résultats!

💬 “En un an, le DSA a produit ses premiers effets auprès des très grandes plateforme”

Le temps de cerveau disponible des jeunes Européens n’est pas une monnaie d’échange pour les réseaux sociaux⏳🧠

Nous avons obtenu le retrait définitif du programme de «récompenses» #TikTokLite qui aurait pu avoir des conséquences très addictives.

C’est aussi ça, l’effet #DSA🇪🇺

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

The available brain time of young Europeans is not a currency for social media—and it never will be ⏳🧠

We have obtained the permanent withdrawal of #TikTokLite “rewards”program, which could have had very addictive consequences.

The #DSA effect in full swing 🇪🇺

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

Back in the day, #BlueChecks used to mean trustworthy sources of information✔️🐦

Now with X, our preliminary view is that:

❌They deceive users

❌They infrige #DSA

X has now the right of defence —but if our view is confirmed we will impose fines & require significant changes.

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

Digital policy is about both daily enforcement and long-term vision 🇪🇺

Priorities of the #DigitalDecade to come:

🔹More investments

🔹Cross border cooperation

🔹Digital Single market

🔹Boosting take up of key technologies such as #AI and #Quantum

The #DMA is here to give back 🇪🇺 users the power to decide over their #data

#Meta has forced millions of users across EU into a binary choice : “pay or consent”.

In our preliminary conclusion this is a breach of the DMA.

Today we take an important step to ensure Meta complies.

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

“Act different” should be their new slogan🍏

For too long @Apple has been squeezing out innovative companies — denying consumers new opportunities & choices.

Today we are taking further steps to ensure AppStore & iOS comply with #DMA

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

⚠️ Following a civil society complaint, in March we asked #LinkedIn to explain how they comply with the DSA ban on #TargetedAds based on sensitive personal data — like sexual orientation, political opinions, or race.

👉❌ As a result, LinkedIn has just announced voluntarily discontinuing the functionality in question.

🔎 The Commission will monitor the effective implementation of LinkedIn's public pledge to ensure full compliance with the DSA.

🇪🇺 While we will remain vigilant, it is positive to see the DSA delivering change that no other law has attained so far — in Europe and beyond.

Meeting in Brussels with EU Digital Ministers 🇪🇺

The 27 Member States have now unanimously adopted the #AIAct — about to become official law.

Europe is speaking with one voice on AI.

(And no, it’s not a cloned one.)

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

We will now investigate in-depth:

🚩 Potential addictive & “rabbit hole” effects of the platforms

🚩Effectiveness of age verification tools

🚩 Level of privacy & safety afforded to minors in the functioning of recommender systems

We are sparing no effort to protect youth 🇪🇺

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

🚨 Today we open formal #DSA investigation against #Meta.

We are not convinced that Meta has done enough to comply with the DSA obligations — to mitigate the risks of negative effects to the physical and mental health of young Europeans on its platforms Facebook and Instagram.

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

🚨Foreign Subsidies

#SolarPower is vital for EU Economic Security 🇪🇺

We are massively investing in the installation of solar panels to decrease our carbon emissions & energy bills — but not at the expense of our energy security, industrial competitiveness and European #jobs.

We make sure that foreign companies in Europe abide by our rules on #FairCompetition and transparency.

With results.
