Elon Musk's power to abuse his platform to promote his own interests and to influence public discourse is a threat to our democracy. /3.

X has increasingly become a platform for disinformation, support for far-right content and hate speech. We do not want to support this. /2.

Chinese e-commerce platform Temu does not declare any lobbying in Europe, neither in Brussels & Berlin nor at its headquarters in Dublin. Temu is evading contact and rules in order to expand aggressively. The EU must take tougher action against Temu.

Irritating to see @Teresaribera deliver one of her first political speeches at the annual conference of a consultancy that represents corporate clients against the Commission in merger cases. We hope to see other signals soon, such as a break-up of Google (Google-Adtech case).

🚨Breaking news: with the new term, the European Comission increases transparency massively. From now on, more than 1500 officials need to disclose lobby meetings and minutes, 1100 more than before. 10 years ago, we came up with this demand. Now it is reality. Persistence works.

New evidence Amazon is abusing its market power. Surely interesting for competition watchdogs @Kartellamt & @EU_Competition to consider new evidence revealed by Japan's competition authority and by german TV @DasErste. Time to make use of structural remedies against Amazon.👇1/.

Let's jointly build up public pressure against tech monopolies. The protests against Amazon during #BlackWeek, such as the @berlinvsamazon demonstration on Friday, could be the starting point for this. 11/.

In order to push back the power of Amazon and other tech companies, we need an international anti-monopoly movement. Our allies on the other side of the Atlantic need us more than ever after Trump got re-elected and Big Tech billionaire Elon Musk is part of the government. 10/.

The conflict of interest in Amazon's business model can only be eliminated by breaking up the company. The break-up is necessary and possible, also under german competition law. This is shown by our legal opinion published in 2023. 9/.

The dependency on Amazon is particularly problematic with its business model. There is a fundamental conflict of interest because Amazon provides the marketplace for products and is also a provider itself. Amazon systematically abuses this position. 8/.

There are also problematic dependencies.The employees are dependent on Amazon itself. The companies and public institutions that use Amazon's cloud infrastructure are also dependent. 7/.
