In Brüssel versuchen die übermächtigen Tech-Konzerne gerade ein neues Gesetz für besseren digitalen Verbraucher:innenschutz zu verhindern.
Ursprünglich war von der EU-Kommission geplant, dass der Digital Fairness Act (#DFA) Menschen, insbesondere Kinder und Jugendliche, besser vor manipulativen Funktionen in Social-Media-Apps, Online-Shops und Videospielen schützt.
Doch noch bevor der erste Entwurf für den DFA vorliegt fahren Google, Meta & Co ihre Lobbymacht in Brüssel auf. Wie genau sie dabei vorgehen und mit welchen irreführenden Methoden sie die Politik beeinflussen zeigt der neue Bericht unserer Kolleg:innen von @corporateeurope und die deutsche Zusammenfassung des Berichts könnt ihr hier nachlesen 👉 https://www.lobbycontrol.de/macht-der-digitalkonzerne/gefesselt-vom-feed-wie-google-meta-co-regeln-fuer-social-media-apps-verhindern-wollen-124022/

The addictive design of social media is a major societal problem with serious impacts on public health & endangering the future of democracy
Weakening of the #DFA, in the name of 'simplification' or ‘competitiveness’, would only benefit the already excessively powerful US-based tech giants

In de VS heeft president #Trump #Musk opgedragen een dereguleringsoffensief te ontketenen ten bate van het bedrijfsleven.
De #EuropeseCommissie zit helaas op een vergelijkbare koers:
»By embracing questionable corporate lobby framing around ‘over-regulation’, the EU risks losing its moral and regulatory compass, giving industry lobby groups far-reaching new powers to erode social and environmental safeguards that stand in their way.«https://corporateeurope.org/en/2025/01/von-der-leyens-competitiveness-compass-deregulation-threatens-social-and-environmental @corporateeurope

De #EuropeseCommissie heeft recentelijk groen licht gegeven voor de fusie tussen graangiganten #Bunge en #Viterra. Onderzoekers Hans van Sharen (Corporate Europe Observatory) en Irene Keizer (SOMO) voorspellen dat deze fusie zal leiden tot verdere marktdominantie door dit nieuwe conglomeraat. Daardoor zullen boeren hun inkomsten zien dalen en consumenten zullen geconfronteerd worden met nog hoger opgedreven prijzen voor basisvoedingsmiddelen. https://corporateeurope.org/en/2024/09/new-agri-mega-merger-where-are-political-rightwingers-when-farmers-need-them

"Today one of the Commission’s flagship projects, the ‘Clean Industrial Deal’ #CID is published. The deal breaks with past ambitions on #chemicals, and deepens the EU’s commitment to false solutions to the climate disaster. Some of the most polluting industries will receive billions in state aid and financing from EU funds, laws will be amended to suit their agenda."

"The need for decarbonisation poses an existential threat to the #oilAndGas industry, which is why they have created multiple ‘escape hatches’ to continue fossil fuel burning, including techno-fixes like CCUS and carbon removals. […] Europe is showering public money and policy support on these dangerous distractions designed to keep Big Oil and Gas in business."

#BigPolluters are interfering with climate negotiations to pad their profits as the world burns.
In 2022, the five majors made record-breaking profits of $200 billion, more than 2x what they made in 2021. 💰
