Thierry Breton’s letter to Elon Musk came as a surprise to the EU Commission – IT Pro – News

There is some truth to that, actually. Trump certainly uses name-dropping as a tactic. But in the end, much of politics is often “theatrical,” whether it’s discussed politely or in Trump’s unique way.

I have not heard many politicians offer a “real” solution when it comes to election issues. It is always the same rhetoric, often the same topics and often a lot of empty promises. Since they have been elected, they still have to find enough support. Then there has to be an effective operational plan where often some research, company, analysis, legislation and other work begins.

And if you take that as a starting point, “the big problem is that many viewers can’t decide for themselves what’s true or false about this.” Basically, everything can fall under that, how do you know what’s true, and who’s going to decide that? It’s also about elections in the United States where we don’t care about that information (political discourse).

I also believe that in an increasingly complex society, the viewer or anyone else has to learn how to use their critical thinking. And you’re not going to promote that with all these counter-techniques. Or assume that they can’t do it anymore and you’re not letting them start the learning process themselves.

I have the same question for you that you also asked in the message that was sent, what is “harmful” or “very harmful”? You are watching something voluntarily on a private device in a safe environment, right?

I have said it many times that real “harmful” content ranging from crypto scams to malware, spam bots and other scams should be a priority for these platforms and the EU. Not what people say, talk, demand, etc. Because if it becomes too much for you, or if you don’t agree with it, you think it’s unacceptable… etc. Turn off your device or close the app and do something else that is productive or relaxing.

This is really better, healthier and a form of basic self-improvement. You don’t need a third party for that. The techniques you use in the real world, for example: when you don’t like something, when someone annoys you, when a weirdo makes noise, etc., can also be applied to the digital world. Without the chance of physical harm.
