Social media , like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, have become too powerful and also, unfortunately, platforms where hatred, nationalism and racist speeches thrive, influencing a large number of people . The latest elections everywhere are an example of the danger that populistic ideas , spread by social media, can bring.

The consequences are very harmful for our democracies, our political ideals and the basic respect of human rights.

We believe that the European Union can do something through appropriate legislation, legal actions and careful scrutiny of the contents of some individuals.

We want to live in a free world where democratic and healthy ideals prevail over the dark forces of the Internet .
