In India today, Emmanuel Macron made a powerful point: free speech loses its meaning if nobody understands how algorithms guide what we see. We agree. Without transparency, there is no genuine freedom of expression. Platforms influence public debate, amplify biases and can push users towards harmful content. Citizens deserve... show more

French President Macron: I do believe in free speech. But what does it mean? Free speech means I will listen to you, you will listen to me, and we are in an equal relationship. A lot of people defending free speech do it based on algorithms without any transparency, with a lot of bias, and with their own political agenda. It's not free speech. And when people clearly help hate speech, racist speech to be spread all over the place, it's not about free speech. It's a jungle. I really believe in free speech based on respect and transparency.

Yesterday in Antwerp, Emmanuel Macron Emmanuel Macron did not mince his words: “We are crazy!” he said, denouncing a Europe that preaches free trade yet leaves its producers defenceless while China and the US protect theirs. He is absolutely right. Strategic autonomy is not protectionism; it is common sense. A real European preference in key sectors is how we defend jobs, innovation and sovereignty. For sure.

TV and newspaper editors used to decide what made the news. Now non-human algorithms designed to maximize engagement decide what most people see. Is it any wonder that we can no longer agree on the most basic facts? From Sept 2025 How To Academy event with @ritulashah. Watch the whole thing:

🇺🇸 The fate of Palestine is the fate of us all. What we allow there, will find its way to our doorstep. Today in Minneapolis, ICE agents shot a woman dead. And no it’s not “shocking.” Not in a country where U.S. officers are trained in Israel on how to dehumanize. Palestine is the litmus test. And we are failing it.

Tired of shadowbanning, censorship, and platforms deciding what you should or shouldn’t see? TikTok, Meta, X and others are tightening control—censoring voices, enforcing biased moderation, and hiding content behind algorithms. They decide what gets seen, what gets silenced, and who gets erased. UpScrolled is different. – No shadowbans – No unfair takedowns – No biased feed manipulation We built UpScrolled because social media should be open, fair, and truly social again. This isn’t just another app—it’s a movement to put people, not platforms, back in charge. UpScrolled means: – Transparent algorithms – Freedom to express yourself – Real control over your feed Download UpScrolled today and scroll differently.

„Our objective is not to be the vassals of hegemonic powers. We don‘t want to be exposed to the unpredictability of the US.“ This is precisely why Emmanuel Macron is so crucial for the free world today. He understands that Europe and its partners must endorse a third way: strategic autonomy, democratic values, rule of law, science, and leadership on climate change. Macron offers a true vision for the free world - and we can be proud that a leader of Europe is endorsing this vision whenever he visits a country abroad.

Who controls the narrative? The DSA treats speech as a form of commodity to be regulated, yet we know that freedom of expression is a fundamental right in any free society. It is not the role of government to determine which opinions are acceptable or permissible. If Croatia adopts such a model of governing the public sphere, we risk granting institutions; including fact-checkers, such as Faktograf, and political leadership, excessive power and influence to decide what is true and what is not. Video: ECR Group

Q: Jeffries took a meeting with Jared Kushner, do you think it’s productive for the leader to be making those kind of inroads with the administration? AOC: Well, I’m not sure Jared Kushner is part of this administration, you know, that’s part of the challenges that we have here. Kushner holds this very bizarre role where he is wielding political influence without a political position and the accountability and public transparency that is required in such a position. I think that what we really need right now is to focus on our plan for how we’re gonna help people’s lives. I think that what we’d love to see as well with respect to Mr. Kushner is some transparency into his dealings and what he is doing with respect to his conflicts of interest.

Albertans deserve to see, in plain language and real numbers, how their health system is actually performing. That’s why we are launching a new Health System Dashboard: an online tool that gives Albertans clear, up to date information on wait times, outcomes and access to care in their own communities. It will show where we are delivering results and where we need to do better, so there is real accountability and transparency. We are starting with surgical information, including comparisons across facilities provincewide. Step by step, Albertans will be able to see the full picture of how their health system is working for patients. Try it for yourself here:

For every controversy, Meta’s default defence seems to be the same: “It was a technical glitch.” But a former Meta executive turned whistle-blower has punctured that narrative. Algorithms don’t create themselves. They are designed by people, trained on human choices, and operate within rules set by the company. Meta decides what gets amplified, what gets suppressed, and the guidelines that govern those decisions. When political content is selectively boosted or throttled, dismissing it as a mere “technical glitch” is no longer a credible explanation. It raises fundamental questions about accountability, transparency, and who really controls the digital public square.

Yesterday in the Legislature I asked the minister a very simple question. If the government is spending millions of taxpayer dollars on reconciliation, then the public deserves to know one thing: what does success look like? What is reconciliation, and when do we know we’ve achieved it? The minister couldn’t answer Instead, we were told reconciliation is a “journey.” There is no finish line. No measurable goal. No clear definition. That should concern every British Columbian. Government programs must have accountability. They must have measurable outcomes. If there is no way to define success, then there is no way to measure whether the government is actually achieving anything. Reconciliation matters. Bringing people together matters. But the public deserves clarity about what government is trying to accomplish, how it will get there, and how we will know when we have succeeded. Without that transparency, reconciliation risks becoming an open-ended policy with no accountability to the people of British Columbia. When will everyone be equal under one nation one flag? #cdnpoli #bcpoli

When government redefines “infrastructure” to include AI and data systems, the impacts are not abstract. Workers face displacement, and vulnerable Canadians risk being shut out as essential services move toward AI-enabled, digital-only models. Yet Parliament was never given the opportunity to debate or approve this $10-billion expansion of the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s mandate. Even the Minister of Infrastructure has acknowledged there is no bill authorizing this sweeping change. Redefining how billions in public dollars are allocated is not a technical adjustment. It is a fundamental policy shift, and Canadians deserve clarity, transparency, and full parliamentary accountability when changes of this magnitude are made.
