23/04/2026 | 17:34:13 Thank you Chair. I speak in Italian. Dear Colleagues, First of all I would like to congratulate the rapporteur Mr Morgens JENSEN on a courageous and timely report. In a few months' time, as everyone can see by now, this will happen: a girl will type a sentence on a screen and receive a novel written especially for her, in the style she prefers. A boy will ask for a film and the film will be there, with the actors he loves, only that story will never have been filmed, those actors will never... 02/10/2025 | 18:27:24 The discussion today went very quickly in much the same way as the discussion has gone over the year and a half that we have been working on the resolution.

We launched this call for a resolution for them a year ago, to turn generic solidarity into verifiable action. First of all, the resolution calls for more protection, immediate access of international bodies to places of detention, and notification of family members and lawyers of the place of detention and health conditions, funds for... 30/01/2025 | 19:03:49 Colleagues, The discussion has been very interesting and enriching. I thank all the colleagues proving that this is a very hot topic and that platforms right now are really the crux of democracy, of the possibility of expression. We emphasised what a power social media has. In writing the report that came about after listening to both platforms, citizens' associations, and users, just to get the full picture, we should not forget, however, that it is a piece in a very important puzzle, which...
