I am working on an analysis of the Commission's leaked legislation plans on Artificial Intelligence. And I would like to hear your opinion on #AI definition. How do you read it? Does that definition fit? Too broad? Too narrow?

Covid pasy: Co to je? Co musíte vědět? Co prosazují Piráti? A kdy začnou covid pasy platit?

Latest Czech parliamentary election poll by Kantar confirms that our coalition of Pirátská strana (Greens/EFA) and STAN (EPP) is in the lead. It is clear that Czech citizens want a change. Thank you!

Jak ovlivní akt o digitálních trzích české digitální prostředí?

Přesně o tom budeme zítra od 10:00 debatovat. Hosté byli vybráni tak, aby nechyběl pohled ze strany ochrany práv uživatelů a byznysu.

Pojďte debatovat s námi, budu se těšit! https://fb.me/e/7z8nvVitC

Another agency puts the coalition of Piráti and STAN on the first place in a Czech parliamentary elections poll! Many thanks to all our supporters!

In Czech parliamentary election polls, Piráti (Greens/EFA) and STAN (EPP) have been gaining more and more support! Czech citizens are getting fed up with the lack of the current PM's leadership during the pandemic and want a change. We truly appreciate the trust!

Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Margrethe Vestager is our guest in the IMCO committee this morning. According to her, competition law enforcement cannot address systemic issues on the markets, and that's why we need the #DigitalMarketsAct. I fully agree. We need strong #DMA.

For the first time in years, there is a new leader in Czech parliamentary elections polls! The coalition of Piráti (Greens/EFA) and STAN (EPP) takes the lead with 29.5%. We are really grateful for the support and we continue to work hard for the citizens!

As recent events in the US have shown, big tech platforms---due to their size---have a systemic role in information amplification. With the new #DigitalMarketsAct, we need to give people the possibility to choose. The possibility to take back control.

The first poll for the Czech national elections taking into account the recently formed coalitions is here: Piráti + STAN (Greens/EFA + EPP) polling at 25%, 2nd just 1.5% behind ANO (Renew). We'll work hard in the next months to win. https://www.novinky.cz/domaci/clanek/prvni-model-s-koalicemi-dominance-ano-je-pryc-blok-piratu-a-stan-je-tesne-za-nim-40349671

In my plenary speech in the European Parliament this week, I reflected on the suspension of Donald Trump's accounts by social networks. I condemn his statements; however, it is really dangerous if companies decide what is appropriate. What is illegal should be decided by courts.

Rekapitulace mojí práce v loňském roce: Byl v mnohém opravdu náročný, ale práce v Evropském parlamentu pokračovala dál. Nabízím souhrn věcí, za které jsem osobně rád, že se povedly. Vždy jedna na měsíc.

The Czech Pirate Party general assembly is backed by Jitsi and runs absolutely flawlessly. Kudos to our technicians who have been doing a great job and long live Free and #OpenSource Software! :-) https://cf2021.pirati.cz

It happens way too often that posts on social networks get taken down for no apparent reason. Let's change that. The Greens/EFA proposal for Notice and Action would help ensure that illegal content gets taken down while legal stays up. https://www.kolaja.eu/en/post/20201215-greens_efa_proposal_for_notice_and_action/

Christmas is approaching and I have only one wish. Sensible rules for the Internet. Tomorrow, the European Commission shall present their proposal of the #DigitalServicesAct. What should it include? Read more in my latest blog post. https://www.kolaja.eu/en/post/20201211-a_christmas_gift_proposal_for_future_internet_regulation/

The final #TERREG trilogue on political level took place today. Read my latest blog post to know what was at stake. https://kolaja.eu/en/post/20201209-trilogue_on_terrorism_content_on-line_whats_at_stake/

Dnes bude debata o velmi zajímavém tématu. Dopady digitalizace na demokracii a nezávislá média. Je to jedno z témat, kterému se v Evropském parlamentu věnuji. Dalšími hosty jsou Věra Jourová, Michal Klíma a Josef Šlerka. Moderuje David Klimeš. Budu se těšit! https://www.facebook.com/events/2875523729398861

Semi-virtual meeting of my political group. Huge improvement in the videoconferencing system of the European Parliament: Video now works in Chromium! Full participation in remote meetings using fully #OpenSource stack is now possible! Kudos to the services of the Parliament!
