  Open public consultation on the EU KIDS ACT. If you have opinions about EU rules for children on social media, age verification, concerns about how this will affect the fediverse, etc... here's the best place to share them: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/19418-Child-online-safety-keeping-digital-spaces-accountable-and-trustworthy-EU-Kids-Act-_en #EU #KidsAct #EUKidsAct #AgeVerification #PublicConsultation #EUHaveYourSay #fediverse #mastodon #social...

  I get that the #EUKidsAct is getting a lot of negative chatter from the privacy advocates. But at the same time to you have to acknowledge there is a serious problem here. I go out in public, I see parents park their kids in front of a tablet to keep them calm, with next to no supervision. Teenagers are spending on AVERAGE 4-6 hours online per day, instead of going outside and interacting with humans. So let me ask you, genuinely. What are the concerns here? What needs to be addressed?

  One thing I think #EU / #Europe has over other places, is a healthy(ish) attitude to work-life balance (I’ve lived in New York, so that’s my one comparison). I was happy to explore this topic at work. I was happy to get to explore this topic in a video! Whole episode coming next week, but here’s a snippet from the street interviews already! https://m.youtube.com/shorts/q08uXy_LZt8?ra=m

  @lucien@toot.community @realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social Yeah, I have to say the "private mentions" are interesting. I like that I can take a discussion from public to private within the same thread. I like the private mentions, but they aren't DMs. And maybe it's ok not to have DMs for now?

  Ahhhh #Iceland. Somewhere I wouldn't mind visiting during the next European heatwave... But did you know that Iceland is planning a referendum this summer about Joining the #EU? What do you think? Should they join? What are your favourite facts about Iceland? And do you have any questions about Iceland joining the EU, or any about Iceland at all? #Referendum #Europe #MadeInEurope

  In the age of #DigitalSovereignty becoming a trend and also #VibeCoding making it easier than ever to create something new, I am seeing an absolute proliferation of new social media platforms claiming to be the next best thing. This time: #eYOU social, which features real time fact checking. Has anyone heard of it? Opinions? https://cybernews.com/tech/eyou-social-media/ #SocialMedia

  @chroma@raccoonisland.social The EU wants to create its own centralised social media? Where did you read that?

  For my #YouTube series where I read out comments about the #EU on social media (and answer them) we are looking at which topics to cover next. There's a poll over on YouTube, so go there if you can: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxj6FWF-44zA73jcCVc9qaAllR1iAXwHg0 If you prefer not to be on a google product, I am placing the same poll here: Which topic would you like to see next?

  I dunno, *can* we build #European alternatives to #Facebook and co? The #EU community managers are at it again with promoting the EU instance on #Mastodon! PS: the community management team (that's my team) are up for an award. Any chance you'd give us a vote? Project 32 on this link: https://enonet.eu/survey/index.php/227332?lang=en

  I’m working on a deep dive into #EU youth policy. So like #Erasmus+, education youth and sport policy, #DiscoverEU, ways that young ppl can get involved, and much more. Got any interesting questions for me? I’d love to hear them. 💜

  Considering how common the colour #purple is in nature, I do wonder why we don’t have naturally occurring purple hair. Except for me of course. 💅💜 #BloomScrolling

  In the Council of the European Union, where the EU Member States meet, decisions are often made by what we call "Qualified Majority Voting", or QMV. How many votes are needed to pass a law under QMV? (In the interest of shortening answers: MS= Member States, pop=population) #EPSOprep #EULaw #EU #EUCouncil #EPSO #StudyWithMe

  Throwback to when I went to the royal greenhouses in Laeken with a fresh coat of #purple hair dye. #flowers #selfie

  The royal greenhouses in Laeken are beautiful architecturally and the palm trees against the windows are gorgeous. #SilentSunday #photography #greenhouse

  Insanely beautiful royal green houses. You can only visit these for two weeks a year, when all the flowers are in bloom. I try not to thing too hard about all this concentrated wealth and just enjoy the view. (A royalist I am certainly not, but wow this is a pretty sight)
