Every year, 2.7 million people in the EU are diagnosed with cancer. 42,000 of those are brain tumour cases — and 36,000 people lose their lives to them annually.

President Ursula von der Leyen made a personal and political commitment: Europe can, and must, beat cancer.

In this speech, she outlines Europe’s 5-pillar Cancer Beating Plan:

Prevention: HPV vaccination extended to boys and girls; 40% of cases are preventable
Research: €4 billion invested, including €600 million for research projects
Faster treatments: The European Biotech Act to simplify and accelerate clinical trial approvals
Better data: Expanding the European Health Data Space — with AI, while protecting privacy
Equal access: Every EU citizen deserves high-quality care regardless of income, location, or education

#DSA #DigitalServicesAct #EU #BigTech
The internet just changed and most people have no idea.
The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) is now in force, forcing platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and AliExpress to play by new rules or face fines of up to 6% of their global revenue.
Here’s what this means for you:
You can turn off personalised recommendations and just see posts in chronological order
Ads must be clearly labelled: no more hidden targeting using sensitive data.
No more fake sellers hiding behind anonymity: marketplaces must verify who’s selling to you.
Dark patterns and addictive designs are banned: no more tricks designed to make you click "Yes" by mistake.
This is not a proposal it’s already happening.
