Europe’s digital rules put power where it belongs: with the people.

From January 2026, Meta commits to giving EU users a real choice on personalised ads on Facebook and Instagram.

Under the Digital Markets Act, full and effective data choice is a right for users in the EU.

Products and industries are evolving fast... and so must our rules!

We’re launching 2 consultations to ensure all products on the single market are safe and fit for an increasingly digital and circular economy.

Preliminary findings:

🚫TikTok & Meta failed to grant researchers adequate access to public data.

🚫Meta failed to provide simple ways to notify illegal content and to allow users to challenge moderation decisions.

This is a duty, not a choice.

An image illustrating the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA). The background is a dark purple with a binary code pattern of '0's and '1's. In the center, nine yellow icons representing DSA themes are arranged in a circular formation, similar to the stars on the EU flag. These icons include a bell, a locked padlock, a crossed-out 'AD' symbol indicating a restriction on advertising, a magnifying glass over a document for transparency, a shielded checkmark for safety, and a crossed-out symbol likely relating to content moderation or tracking. Below this visual representation, the text in large white letters states DIGITAL SERVICES ACT, followed by a smaller line of text that reads "TikTok and Meta preliminarily found in breach of their transparency obligations." A small European Commission logo is located in the bottom right corner.

Informed debate based on reliable information is a cornerstone of any healthy democracy.

False or distorted information online can spread faster than ever, shaping opinions and undermining trust.

Here is one big reason to choose Europe to advance with your research career:

We 💙 science.
Two scientists, a woman and a man, wearing safety goggles and lab coats, examine a robotic device. Overlaid text reads "Choose Europe – Freedom to explore, research and innovate. Discover how" with the European Union flag. The EU flag is shown with a headline "Europe offers:" followed by a list: Stable funding and careers, Academic freedom and scientific excellence, High quality of life (healthcare, education, pensions), and Collaboration beyond borders. Two young women smile while looking at a tablet, surrounded by EU stars. Text reads: "Choose Europe – €500 million for 2025–2027 to make Europe a magnet for researchers."
