BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) – A citizens’ initiative is calling on the European Commission to create a public social network. Universities and companies should develop the platform together, according to the justification for a corresponding application registered by the EU Commission.
According to the demand, the platform should be financed with EU money and monitored by committees elected by the EU Parliament. The goal is to create an alternative to platforms like Instagram, X, Facebook or Tiktok.
On the established sites, users would be exposed to false information. According to the applicants, it is also unclear whether the person with whom they believe they are in contact even exists. The identities on the European platform, on the other hand, should be verified and false information should be given a warning. In order to prevent unconscious radicalization, users should be able to determine their own algorithm. The applicants also want advertising to be restricted.
Within one year, the organizers must collect one million signatures from citizens from at least seven EU states so that the Commission can deal with the content of the initiative./rdt/DP/stw
