<p>By buying US products, using US-based media, and adopting US narratives? That's a part of the problem. This world is lacking multilateralism.</p>

<p>It's a waste of resources, but please do it! The entire "European Union censors" narrative is a hoax [1], so the portal will achieve nothing, but you've got to do what you've got to do!<p>[1] First, the EU countries have much higher World Press Freedom Index than the US. Second, once you start reading how little there is of the alleged "censorship" in the EU, you realize it's a no-brainer aiming to protect people.</p>

<p>Clearly US Republicans, Russia, and Israel drive a push towards nationalism. Republicans and Elon Musk openly campaign for far-right European parties like AfD. You're getting causality wrong, or just don't want to recognize it, because the reality (rightfully) isn't as motivating as your image of it -- at least it shouldn't, but do you care?</p>

<p>No, that's not what I want. I want platform transparency and accountability.<p>Meanwhile, you're giving yourself the right to talk lies about me without my consent when I kindly ask you not to do that.

<p>I do think Europe should become more self-reliant. I also work a lot and rarely take any vacation time, but I don't see any sense -- except for egoism -- in working so much just to spread more AI slop online, mislead and polarize societies, or support a genocide. I think Europe has learned its lesson during the World Wars.</p>

<p>Agreed that's inconsistent and not ok. We need rules, procedures, and systems that apply equally to different sides.</p>

<p>I'd say that's fine. That's a great opportunity for the EU to develop its industry.</p>

<p>That's exactly the reason why we need platform transparency and accountability regulation like the EU's DSA.</p>

<p>Yes, which is why we need to balance who has power, and facilitate independent research, rather than to give away to either industry or government.</p>

<p>No researcher will request or get access to "5 million Facebook logins" through the DSA, since such a request wouldn't comply with the DSA requirements, so your point is moot. In fact, we live in a quite different world than you imagine. Currently, researchers don't even have access to the public data, as the article points out. When it comes to private data, researchers won't get access to private messages either, but rather to aggregate-level privacy-preserving data (assuming that the DSA isn't killed before any of this happens by the industry and Republicans, which you seem to advocate for).</p>

<p>It's obviously not about "manipulating the voting tabulation". Influencing people to vote the way you want them to is fine as long as it's not based on deceit. Is this what you can't stand?</p>

<p>It's also quite optimistic to think that the industry will self-regulate, as the recent history of Boeing 737 MAX shows...</p>
