As disinformation, hate speech and censorship dominate traditional social media platforms, Member of the European Parliament @npub12wd…aatc joins Mastodon ED @npub10gc…0m2k, @npub108s…tznn, founder of [@offene_netzwerke](https://eupolicy.social/@offene_netzwerke ), and @npub1fzh…p7r7 to discuss the different ways the EU’s #DigitalServicesAct (#DSA) and the #Fediverse aim to combat these problems!

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.
But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.
They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

💾 Unlock public domain data while protecting privacy and personal data
🔧 Build capacity in public and private sectors to use Open Source solutions!
