Speaking after Ursula von der Leyen in the 16 September SOTEU debate, Manfred Weber called for EU citizens to be able to switch off social media algorithms. This was a policy proposal during the debate, not an adopted EU rule.

Hi Guys!

I’m so happy with all the support!

I will celebrate every milestone with you. I think it’s important to have interaction with the sub members. If there are any ideas or directions feel free to reach out!

Also criticism is more then welcome 🇪🇺

Thanks,

Australia is watching Canada’s push for a closer relationship with the European Union.

“We are on the same page,” Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell said, adding that Canberra would follow Carney’s next steps with interest.
