When it comes to consumer protection, no region in the world does it better than Europe.

@EUCommission data protection is also a consumer right and you're currently flushing it down the drain for the billionaires
@DrJLecter exactly this! @EUCommission

On #WorldConsumerRightsDay, it’s worth remembering: more than 50 years of advocacy don’t just sit in policy papers — they show up in your daily life: in fair transactions, safe products, and transparent contracts.

@EUCommission
Just phrase it that way:When it comes to consumer protection, the other parts the world do it EVEN WORSE than Europe.
One of the worst examples: "Nutri-Score"
Confusing, misleading, and often plain nonsensical:
Declarations that claim to HELP consumers must be absolutely clear and right.
It is bad to implicitly expect consumers to look closely at how the Nutri Score is meant - and how it should NOT be understood.
Nutri Score: Unrealistic 'solution' invented by dreamers!

@EUCommission let's see you take on the fascist tech bros, then we can truly applaud. It is high time that Meta, X, TikTok etc. are made to comply with laws and to be held responsible for pushing disinformation. On the current trajectory these companies will likely achieve the destruction of European democracy through their *active* support for far right and fascist parties.

@EUCommission
Yes, but instead of posting #CorporateBS ¹, you'd have done better by posting some bullet points enumerating those achievements, along with what remains to be done that hasn't. -
@Kerplunk That's a pretty weak attempt on the credibility of the EU.
"Dutch law for this specific situation is better, so EU law stinks."
Dutch law governs 17 million consumers, EU law some 450 million. EU law is a compromise that must work for 27 countries, not just for one single small one.

Nice
do you also protect me against Google wanting every developer for Android Apps to register with them or else their Apps will not run on android? I as a consumer want to decide what Apps I install by myself

@EUCommission TOTAL BULLSHIT
I had to FORCE Tesco and Lidl to allow me to use their loyalty cards for having the absolute gall to be from another EU state.
Phone companies insist on registration documents to sell you a SIM card.
Being refused service because of nationality is a risk and I was refused car hire in Latvia because I "didn't have a Baltic licence" the company scammed 2m Euro from the EU and then blocked non Baltic consumers.
10/10 for self belief but 0/10 for enforcement

@x41h USamerican government does not need other countries to screw their own ppl - they do that super well on their own.
@EUCommission@Ilka4You @EUCommission Correct and they allow other countries to screw their people. What I mean is that in New England they closed off fishing waters for American fishermen, however, made special deals with Chinese & Russian factory ships to dredge those restricted areas. Then you have the farmers who get screwed by lawyers and can't sell their own things because government has deal to import instead. Then the whole foreign bank schemes. Also all the Russian data brokers selling personal information. The list just goes on.

@EUCommission In theory, the reality sadly looks different.
I'm from Germany.

@x41h agreed, the most disturbing of all things is the personal individual and complete data of all USamerican citizens being transferred by DOGE to RUS. It is mind boggling the usamerican ppl just shrug that off like "another day in USA where we put pedophiles in charge". @EUCommission

@Ilka4You @EUCommission Because America is corrupt AF and I can't wait to leave this country. Place has already turned into a desolate wasteland. Looks like a third world country. The military, politicians, judicial systems, policies, healthcare, every federal agency all of it has crumbled.
I don't even use my real name on anything anymore. If there is an address field then they are getting something from 10 years ago. There is no trust in this government or media. Everything in and coming out of this country is a lie.
I hope EU plays their cards right against US and hold their diplomatic relations. Russia can't be trusted and we know they are controlling US right now with their influence.

@x41h @Ilka4You @EUCommission That what your president is doing, from what I've heard about wanting to lift sanctions on russia, is complete trash, not politics. -

@Ilka4You @EUCommission At one point in my life I did hold a belief that God blessed this nation to be a beacon and light for all other nations but not sure if I was just young and naive or brainwashed through public education system. Regardless, being older one can make up their own mind that it's no different than any other empire that collapses under its own weight. This is the path and way it will be now until whatever happens next.

@Kovach @EUCommission @Ilka4You kinda like it was all part of the plan right? Because every military expert in US history never wanted to attack Iran knowing they would close down the waterway. So Trump definitely planned for this outcome.
He is indebted to Putin after they bankrolled him out of bankruptcy. Sadly this fool is the President of the United States.

@x41h @EUCommission @Ilka4You I'm using a translator, are you talking about bankruptcy? Can you tell me more about it? -

@x41h @EUCommission @Ilka4You iran is an ally of russia, and it was strange to hear about them attacking their own oil tankers, followed by the lifting of sanctions against the russian federation. -

@Kovach @EUCommission @Ilka4You Yes. Not sure if you know. Trump went completely bankrupt with his failed casinos and other ventures. When reading previous reports the Czech police warned the US that his first wife, Ivana, Ivankas mother was a Russian asset sent to target Trump. When his business dealings failed it was the Russians who helped him get out of his financial troubles with the whole Trump Tower in Moscow deal and allowing Russian organized crime figures to live in his Trump Tower in NYC to launder money. His past with Russia goes a long time back.
