You have a right to know if that article or video you saw online is made using artificial intelligence.

We want to make the digital world more transparent and trustworthy.

Think clearer chatbot notices, deep fake disclosures, and machine-readable tags for AI videos.

That is why we just launched a new Code of Practice to ensure AI providers and those using them can clearly label AI-generated content and interactive tools ahead of the AI Act obligations.

Have you heard of Apple's decision on the rollout of Siri AI in Europe? Let's get the facts straight ⬇️

The planet doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals: rising seas, wildfires, heatwaves.

The EU responds with commitments like:

🔸Water Resilience Strategy
🔹Chemical Regulation
🔸EU Climate Law (net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050)
🔹Restoring nature and repairing damaged ecosystems

Change is accelerating: solar and wind infrastructure is expanding, cities are being redesigned around nature.

This World Environment Day, the debate isn't if climate change is real, but how fast we can act.

Your digital future should be open, secure, and made in Europe.

The latest survey shows that nearly 75% of Europeans believe their country benefits from EU membership.

Over the years, the EU flag has become the most recognisable symbol of a shared European identity, fostering a sense of solidarity and community.

Today marks 40 years since it was raised for the very first time in front of our headquarters in Brussels.

The EU flag belongs to all Europeans.
It’s a symbol of our shared values, opportunities and common future.

Global funding shortages mean that out of 239 million people needing assistance this year, only fewer than half can be reached.

Worse, attacks on aid workers have reached horrific levels.

We are responding with concrete actions to improve how funding reaches those in need:

➡️ Strengthening humanitarian diplomacy to protect aid workers.

➡️ Empowering local actors and communities in the humanitarian response.

➡️ Reforming supply chains to maximise cost-effectiveness.

Your personal data belongs to you. Not to anyone else.

Ten years ago, the General Data Protection Regulation entered into force - setting a common data protection standard across the EU.

Today, you have the right to:

✅ know what data is collected
✅ know why it is collected
✅ access, correct, or delete your data
✅ withdraw your consent at any time

In the EU, data protection is not a feature. It’s a fundamental right. And we keep strengthening it to match a changing digital world.

The era of unchecked tech monopolies is over.

We're taking decisive action to enforce open, fair, and contestable digital markets. Our measures had real consequences:

🛡️ Fined major platforms for anti-competitive practices and ignoring consumer data choices
⌚ Required strict hardware interoperability for smartwatches and connected wearables
☁️ Launched three investigations into dominance in cloud services and into search engines hiding media

Accountability is here 👉 https://link.europa.eu/YTddh6

Accessibility features don’t just help some people — they make technology better for everyone.

Today, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re highlighting why accessible design matters.

We are working to make our websites and digital platforms more accessible — following EU-wide accessibility standards, making progress towards becoming fully accessible for all.

Because a more inclusive internet is in everyone’s interest.

Cultural identity, inclusion, and the enduring strength of the Ukrainian people.

Today we mark Vyshyvanka Day 🇺🇦

The traditional embroidered attire is a testament to a heritage that grows stronger every day.

By supporting Ukraine on its European path, we are weaving a shared future of freedom and peace.

Our unity has never been stronger.

#StandWithUkraine

Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators.

Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:

🔸 habitat loss
🔸 climate change
🔸 excessive use of pesticides

Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.

On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.

We need to keep our bees busy and well!

To be seen. To be safe. To be yourself. 🌈 

For too many, this still comes at a cost. 

On IDAHOT, we stand with LGBTIQ+ people across Europe, and against hate, discrimination and violence.

Because we protect what matters. Our freedoms, our rights, our democracy.

The message from Europeans is clear: children deserve a digital world where they can grow up free, safe and protected.

From harmful content and cyberbullying to addictive online designs, concerns about the risks children face online are growing across Europe.

Tech providers are responsible for the safety of their products and their safe use. Let us give childhood back to our children.

That is Europe's principle; that is the basis of the Digital Services Act.
