What role do social media play in our democracy, and how can the EU respond?
In this episode of EU to go, Thu Nguyen talks to Luise Quaritsch (Jacques Delors Centre) and Philipp Darius (Hertie Centre for Digital Governance) about digital election interference, how algorithms reinforce polarisation, and the influence of figures such as Elon Musk. The focus is on the Digital Services Act (DSA): the new EU law that requires platforms such as X, TikTok and Instagram to be more transparent and accountable. What does the DSA really achieve? How consistently is it being implemented? And why is it now becoming embroiled in the geopolitical battle with the US? An episode about power, algorithms and the fight for Europe's digital space.
