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... 30/01/2025 | 17:37:08 Mister Chairman, colleagues, Today we present a report that addresses one of the most complex challenges of our time: the regulation and moderation of content on digital platforms.

Colleagues, As has been well said in the introductory report and as has emerged in the discussions of the Monitoring Committee, we are talking about a state whose democratic institutions not only have a very old tradition. It is the oldest sovereign state in existence in the world, as well as the oldest constitutional republic in the world.
