EuropeEuropean Parliament supports the setting up of an EU centre for democratic resilience. This centre should include existing cooperation systems and crisis management capacity, and be adaptable to evolving threats.
The MEPs name Russia the "primary threat for Europe’s democratic integrity," adding that frequent hybrid attacks on critical infrastructure, such as cyberattacks, physical sabotage, arson, espionage and signal jamming, are also originating also from Belarus, China, Iran and North Korea.
The lawmakers call for expanded sanctions targeting enablers of Russian disinformation and non-EU entities, particularly Chinese ones, that help circumvent sanctions and facilitate Russian operations.

There are also measures and funding for civil society organization, particularly via AgoraEU (opens pdf).

Oh, are you guys finally ready to talk about why the EU is bad? Now that it has effected you personally?
What are you talking about??
The many times people in this community flipped shit when I said the EU was imperialistic and favourable to authoritarian politics. Now that there is an obvious example of how that looks, apparently many of you have known this the whole time. Just pointing out the humour in that, Euros are horribly uncritical of their way of life generally.
Are you having a stroke
Just another lost mind :/ Tragic
Trolls used to be good and funny. Man i miss those times...
Democracy for the leadership, not the peasants!
Eu: agrees to proceed with chatcontrol even though a majority voted against (but not an absolute majority)
Also EU: ohno Russia is a threat to our DeMoCrAcY
(Yes EU =/= EU but fuck that sounds very stupid to read one after another)
a majority voted against
Twice... because they already refused to accept the result the first time.
Wasn't that the third time already now?
Oh, chat control in general much more even.
But this specific vote by the parliament when they rejected to extend this bullshit chat control 1.0 temporary exception was instantly repeated within a week because the right-wing morons didn't like the result. They got the same one again, so they now cheated and introduced the same thing again via the EU commision instead, one day before the summer break when not enough parliament members were still there to reject it a third time.
How this can be legal is beyond me
If something was voted against, just pushing it again is real bullshit and shouldn't be allowed
i call out the eu as a threat to the democratic integrity of the eu
There are many dual use tools that can also be used to silence an opposition. There is a huge risk of abuse and it worries me that they don't prominently and proudly show the measures that they are taking to prevent abuse.
Ensure faster responses by platforms in combatting electoral interference, particularly bot-driven efforts.
Clearly distinguish synthetic content from authentic material, and give more prominence to independent and verified sources.
