Letter to EU Com. Virkkunen to investigate and sanction Musk
Dear all,
I forward this petition, posted on the "people vs big Tech" mailing list, as it matters for the STS community.
After Elon Musk's frenetic (double) Nazi salutation it is undeniable what has been clear for long: Authoritarian Tech bros are trying to overthrow democracy.
Please sign the petition to show your support and defend democracy and free press in the EU.
With the DSA and DMA the EU has a sword - it just needs to use it.
Please forward the call to colleagues.
All the best
Jascha Bareis

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Letter to Virkkunen to investigate and sanction Musk Datum: Thu, 23 Jan 2025 13:26:37 +0100 Von: Giulio Carini An: peoplevbigtech@googlegroups.com Kopie (CC): Virginia López Calvo , Taïme Smit
Hello,
A few weeks ago, we launched a petition urging the EU to protect democracy against Elon Musk's X platform, particularly in response to his disproportionate promotion of the live stream featuring the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) far-right party.
We plan to deliver our petition , which has garnered over 125,000 signatures, to Commissioner Virkkunen, along with a letter asking her to investigate Musk for violations to the DSA and DMA, and impose sanctions.
The letter
focuses specifically on Musk. Please let us know if you would like to add your signature to the letter and/or if you have any additional input for the letter by end of the day Tuesday, January 28, 5pm CET. We hope to send the letter by the end of next week.
Thanks again,
Giulio
