That’s nearly a wrap. Tomorrow’s the last day. Thanks to all who’ve helped make #SecurityUnion work, especially these guys, who were great

We started International Day for the Elimination of #ViolenceAgainstWomen by joining the Manneken Pis in wearing orange.
Violence against women can happen anywhere. By spreading the hashtag #OrangetheWorld we can raise awareness about this issue.

[Julian King @JulianBKing]

Crass and dangerous. If you think extreme language doesn’t fuel political violence across Europe, incl UK, then you’re not paying attention

[Julian King @JulianBKing]

Following our Recommendation for a common European approach to the security of #5G networks, nearly all Member States have submitted their national risk assessments and we expect to receive the remaining 4 very shortly. Our statement: https://t.co/8AoImqvyIU @GabrielMariya

I believe that our efforts to raise awareness and strengthen our collective defences against #disinformation and the hostile actors behind it is working, but we still need to do more. Our report published today ahead of the European Council next week: https://t.co/xOoY8kEznZ

We still have time to find agreement on the Regulation on terrorist content online before the end of the Parliament’s mandate, but only just – and only if all sides commit to it fully. Failure to do so will only help the extremists. #SecurityUnion

[Julian King @JulianBKing]

Solidarity with #Strasbourg tonight. Its citizens, many visitors, as well as the international and EU institutions and staff.

[Julian King @JulianBKing]

We cannot allow the internet to become a Wild West where anything goes – and we will reconsider our options, including regulation, if not enough progress is being made by the platforms on #disinformation https://t.co/zRDS2q8J46

[Financial Times Live @ftlive]

We need urgent change in how advertising is placed online, greater transparency around sponsored content, fake accounts rapidly deleted and clearer transparency around bots and platforms' algorithms, says @JKingEU. #FTFutureNews

[Julian King @JulianBKing]

Today we mark 12 months since the horrific terror attack in Manchester. We remember those who lost their lives and those who are still suffering today. It is a stark reminder of the importance of our work to fight the terror threat and ensure victims get the support they deserve.

[Julian King @JulianBKing]

Security is quite rightly a priority in the future #EUbudget we proposed today – including almost doubling funds for security issues in the 2021-7 budget, to counter terrorism and other threats. More info in our factsheet: https://t.co/lsH9Cirkue

.@EUvsDisinfo doing "a very good, a very important job [...] Having somebody who is looking to call out systemic attempts to spread disinformation - in this case pro-Kremlin sourced - is a service that does us all good", says @JKingEU. https://t.co/bq56EoxFfv
