TikTok, Instagram and YouTube are not neutral public spaces. Designed to maximise attention and engagement, these platforms play a major role in shaping public opinion in Europe. They amplify misinformation, polarisation and hate speech, while also encouraging patterns of use that harm mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EU has begun to respond through the Digital Services Act. Yet success up to now is limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could Europe build a public-service social media model, inspired by public broadcasting – social media that protect democratic debate, strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty and offer a healthier online environment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This event will explore that question and introduce a European Citizens\u2019 Initiative calling for a European public-service social media infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Luk\u00e1\u0161 Mikuleck\u00fd, Co-Leader of the European Citizens’s Initiative \u201cEuropean Public Social Network\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
