EU readies tougher tech enforcement in 2026 as Trump warns of retaliation

One thing that I think Europe is really overlooking is part why the US is the way it is today is because the education system is based around trying to train people to be suitable for employment rather than educating and enriching the next generation of people. Basically obedient and not thinking for yourself. I hear politicians say schools should focus on jobs way too often.

To mitigate the harmful effects of tech Europe needs to ensure that schools focus on making sure students are resilient with strong media literacy, aware of propaganda, how to use reliable sources as opposed to shaping one's views with unreputable "TikToks", "Tweets" and things like that. Also skills like resiliency, habits, attention span and emotional regulation. Social media attacks all of these things. Meta, Google and Twitter are like modern day Tobacco companies. Just like the Tobacco companies they buy politicians rather than admit their products are harmful and shut down or make changes. Schools should also emphasize civic duty and societal impact of personal choices.

Propaganda and media literacy need to be required for high school graduation.

The president with NPD rages on.

Vamooos.
