When it comes to consumer protection, no region in the world does it better than Europe. đȘđș On #WorldConsumerRightsDay, itâs worth remembering: more than 50 years of advocacy donât just sit in policy papers â they show up in your daily life: in fair transactions, safe products, and transparent contracts. Letâs keep working to make it even stronger!

@EUCommission I am grateful, I know what happens without consumer protection, but you're really going to have to work even harder to protect us all from the billionaires

@EUCommission so why are you trying to gut the GDPR which embodies our protection?

@EUCommission data protection is also a consumer right and you're currently flushing it down the drain for the billionaires

@EUCommission like the #MERCOSUR you have no shame ...Reminder: Mercosur will lead to an increase in intercontinental trade, and therefore in pollutionIt 'll result in more imports of foodstuffs laden with pesticidesAs ecologist, we should avoid making continents interdependent when increase transporting which is polluantYou are intensifying competition, which makes life unbearable for local communitiesAll this just to sell more cars, wine and luxury goods, which are not basic necessities

@EUCommission EU Commission: A very good start, yes. Now, be strong and stand by your pledge: Wreck the Digital Omnibus right now, right here, and instead protect EU consumers by keeping the high standards of GDPR, Digital Services Act, and whatever. Crack down hard on surveillance capitalism, not on our Digital Rights. People before business! Foreign corporations doing business in the EU must abide by EU law, no concessions and no shortcuts. Equal rights and equal duties for eyeryone, that's what we call a level playing field.And protect our freedom and privacy instead of pursuing the wet dreams of mass surveilance. Mass surveillance in EU would scrap both EU consumer rights and EU citizens' freedom rights.

@EUCommission Yes this is true but maybe worth mentioning that the advocacy is done not by the EU Commission but by a tireless civil society like the folks @beuc and @Bundesverband. Also: passenger rights in #CrossBorderRail please and hands off our right to #privacy ! #omnibus #GDPR #ePrivacy #AIAct

@EUCommission How easily people pocket all the benefits and bellyache about what's still to do -- there's plenty, and no time for any complacency. But đ. Onwards and upwards.

@EUCommission Data protection rights are protecting consumers too. You might want to remember that while you're pushing for your Digital Omnibus to be enacted.

@EUCommission you are right, we do have a lot of comon sense in our European laws & protection of civilians that has been lost in other places on this earth. Please, in this current time & context, do not neglect the data protection & sovereignity - we need independance from USamerican tech & data control to stay a strong community, able to stand on its own as world leading economic & science power. Protect our goverment's & PERSONAL data from foreign grabs.

@EUCommission Consumer protection is definitely one of the EUâs strengths, and we can see the results in our daily lives.But thatâs exactly why we shouldnât stop at celebrating: we need rules that are truly effective against new forms of digital abuse, from disinformation to platforms that try to bypass existing safeguards.Protecting consumers today means ensuring transparency, clear rights, and a digital environment that doesnât leave anyone behind.

@EUCommission Just phrase it that way:When it comes to consumer protection, the other parts the world do it EVEN WORSE than Europe. đȘđșOne of the worst examples: "Nutri-Score"Confusing, misleading, and often plain nonsensical:Declarations that claim to HELP consumers must be absolutely clear and right.It is bad to implicitly expect consumers to look closely at how the Nutri Score is meant - and how it should NOT be understood.Nutri Score: Unrealistic 'solution' invented by dreamers!

@EUCommission let's see you take on the fascist tech bros, then we can truly applaud. It is high time that Meta, X, TikTok etc. are made to comply with laws and to be held responsible for pushing disinformation. On the current trajectory these companies will likely achieve the destruction of European democracy through their *active* support for far right and fascist parties.

@EUCommission World consumer rights day.EU Law, is WEAK If a fault appears within 6 months of purchase, it is presumed to have existed at the time of purchase.After 6 months from purchase, the consumer may need to prove the fault was not the result of normal wear and tear or misuse.Dutch law states that the guarantee duration is dependent on the expected lifespan of a product. Portugal and Spain 3 years warranty.About time for 5 years warranty on all products over 50 Euro.

@EUCommission Nicedo you also protect me against Google wanting every developer for Android Apps to register with them or else their Apps will not run on android? I as a consumer want to decide what Apps I install by myself

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I don't see any actions against AI, quite the opposite, so I don't see that consumer protection you're talking about.(I know they are not reading this but...)

Hi @henry_null, thanks to our DMA regulation we are giving power back to developers by reducing their reliance on Apple and Googleâs app stores. Developers can now directly inform users about better oïŹers outside of app stores. They can also distribute their apps via alternative app stores or directly from the web. Consumers beneïŹt too, as they can now be informed within the apps about better and cheaper oïŹers and be redirected to them.More here: https://link.europa.eu/HJTPCb

Hi @paranormal_distribution, what we are addressing in our Digital Omnibus are calls for targeted amendments to clarify, simplify and harmonise certain aspects of the GDPR. There is no move to weaken user rights or limit people's control over their data. Access, correction and erasure remain at the centre of our data protection approach.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @paranormal_distribution@fosstodon.org Currently, how this omnibus is written is just a total annihilation of all GDPR protections.

Hi @r_alb, the rights, principles and safeguards that define EU data protection are not in question. What we are addressing in our Digital Omnibus are calls for targeted amendments to clarify, simplify and harmonise certain aspects of the GDPR. There is no move to weaken user rights. Access, correction and erasure remain at the centre of our data protection approach.

@EUCommission That is what the press releases say, yes. But the actual proposal speaks a different language. NOYB has published a few analyses, including this one: https://noyb.eu/en/digital-omnibus-eu-commission-wants-wreck-core-gdpr-principles
