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 europa.eu/rapid/press-re…

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

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

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: europa.eu/rapid/press-re…

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: europa.eu/rapid/press-re… Mariya Gabriel

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

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.

We have proposed a new Code of Practices for internet platforms, and will look at the progress made in October - a timeline that is “realistic and necessary” says @JKingEU

.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. europa.eu/!vT74uC

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: ec.europa.eu/commission/sit…

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.
