A browser setting as future of consent? I’m not convinced. #DigitalOmnibus could reduce cookie fatigue, but also risks weakening transparency, informed choice & meaningful user control. Simplification must deliver real benefits - not just fewer clicks.

I am speaking at this year’s #GATT-Conference of @AspenGermany on 🥁#DigitalSovereignty … looking forward tongue Oxford Style Debate 🤓

Digital sovereignty isn’t about digital borders - it’s about markets, security and building great technology 🇪🇺 Europe should lead through innovation, openness, and competitiveness, not territorial thinking ➡️ C‘mon Europe, put #TechOverTerritory

I doubt that granting individual posts a content-based #PublicValue status will calm the online free speech debate - quite the opposite. Whether it actually strengthens #FreedomOfExpression is equally questionable. And yes, it also seems to pre-empt the ongoing #AVMSD review.

Mit „Verantwortung“ ist Volker @Wissing ein sprachlich klares, gegen den Zeitgeist optimistisches Werk mit Haltung gelungen, das noch dazu - auch gegen den Zeitgeist - zum Brückenbauen aufruft und die Wertschätzung offener und freier Gesellschaften betont.

Great discussion on why youth culture can’t be shaped by decree - and why authentic participation matters more than control. Glad to have been part of this conversation for @DOTEurope and thanks to @CPDPconferences and @VUBrussel for having me.

While Berlin is all about @republica these days, Brussels will kick-start @CPDPconferences tomorrow. Looking forward to discussing „The Policy Dilemma of Age-Gating“ on behalf of @DOTEurope with @VUBrussel @OAICgov and @Forumjeunes_BE

Europe 🇪🇺 wanted to simplify #AI rules - instead, the #AIOmnibus risks adding even more complexity. I have digged a bit deeper, why this is a missed opportunity for innovation and legal clarity 👇

Europe is not (only) about politics, it could be about lasting friendships. For me, #ERASMUS was the time of my life. After 22 years, we still meet regularly - this year in Sofia 🇧🇬 - Time flies, Friendship remains

Europe is trying to buy #digitalsovereignty.
But industrial policy cannot compensate for fragmented markets, regulatory incoherence & structural inefficiencies forever. At some point, “strategic autonomy” becomes a very expensive workaround. More here ↓

The #AIOmnibus deal is a constructive step toward making the #AIAct more workable in practice: less double regulation and more realistic timelines. But it also shows how difficult “simplification” has become in EU digital policy. The real test starts now: #implementation.

»Diejenigen, die jeden Tag den Laden am Laufen halten, müssen am Ende mehr in der Tasche haben.« Heißt das im Umkehrschluss eigentlich, dass Ärzte, Ingenieure oder Unternehmerinnen den Laden nicht am Laufen halten?
