Last week 54 members of the European Parliament wrote a letter to the European Commission President to support open social networks made in Europe. The Grok desaster shows that regulation is not enough. We need to build and we need to do it fast.

Only by opening an investigation by the Commission will the way be opened for German courts to order the shutdown of X in Europe if these crimes continue.

I am calling for this, along with 50 other MPs, in a letter to Ursula von der Leyen.

Also: a European initiative on X is urgently needed.
Only then will many users switch.

The alternatives Eurosky and Mastodon are a good start, but more support from the European Commission is needed here.

Putin wants a weak and divided Europe.
Now Trump has joined him.

Their weapon: social media.

Pro-European voices are silenced.
Far-right extremists are boosted.

Europe has a weapon too, the Digital Services Act.
So why aren’t you using it, dear European Commission?
