AM-64-1 to R4: European Digital Democracy: Sovereignty, Rights and Online Safety

The European Green Party calls for:

1. A European strategy for digital sovereignty and transparency, including open
standards, ethical AI, radical lobbying transparency, and strict regulation of
dominant platforms.

2. Develop secure EU-wide management and messaging systems for public services, safeguarding critical infrastructure from external interference.

2. Strong regulation on platform interoperability and by using opportunities to
promote opening up the social network infrastructure so users can access third-
party applications, such as recommender systems, and allowing third party
additional applications.



3.Safe and democratic digital environments must become the norm, by switching
off recommender systems by default, banning behavioural profiling of minors, and
enforcing algorithmic transparency to safeguard pluralism.

4. Promote a fair and sustainable digital transition by ensuring
interoperability between systems and platforms, preventing technological lock-in
and guaranteeing users’ freedom of choice through open standards,data
portability and security.



5. Ensuring fair taxation and European sovereignty funding, making Big Tech pay
what they owe, and guaranteeing that part of these revenues finances the EU
digital strategy to strengthen Europe’s sovereignty.
