We will not let the issue of endangered and protected species be forgotten: Finland's hunting law is now under commission review!

Great news: AI nudify apps are being banned! ⛔ In the negotiations for the AI law, we have reached an agreement to ban these “undressing apps.” Committing a sexual offence with two clicks? That should never be normal. A huge step for online safety!

Nudifier apps are digital violence – and they mainly affect women and children. On the initiative of @greens-efa.eu, a ban was adopted today in the committee. An important success. Now it goes to the plenary.

Today we welcomed the male and female students from Colegio Irlandesas El Soto at the European Parliament. 📚 Bringing Europe closer to youth is not a symbolic matter: it is opening the doors of institutions and democracy in the EU.
