'Dark patterns' – how the DSA draft on platform design needs to be improved

The social media news feed that never ends. The pop-up on the booking page that screams to users "74 people are watching this too! There are only 3 offers left!". The privacy settings page or account deletion page that can only be found after a marathon of clicks: These are all corporate design decisions that define the everyday online lives of millions of people. At best, such design practices are just annoying. At worst, they are intrusions on people's freedom of choice in the name of maximizing attention and profit. That's why the European Digital Services Act ("DSA") for tech platforms needs to explicitly focus on design issues.

What about the displaced climate?

Climate heating is already leading to global migration movements. We cannot wait until disaster strikes before we act. We should already consider processes for planned migration with dignity that will allow people in vulnerable areas to relocate before the worst impacts occur.

Putin's Potemkin military

Russia may be militarily superior to Ukraine. But the passion with which Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom, combined with Western sanctions that make it difficult for Putin to produce weapons, among other things, could turn the tide of Putin's war.

Health Union: Is it needed?

The legislative package to create a European Health Union was the EU's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Health Union Communication stated more broadly that "a strong European Health Union will protect our way of life, our economy, and our society." This raises the question of whether the Health Union should be limited to crisis prevention and management or have a broader public health approach, writes Anne Bucher from the think-tank Bruegel.

How Europe can sustain Russia sanctions

Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine is a dramatic wake-up call for Europe. The European Union can no longer be a passive player in global affairs. It must reinforce its own security structure within the broader context of NATO.

Opinion

The economic consequences of the Ukraine war

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been rapid and dramatic, but the economic consequences will be much slower to materialize and less spectacular, writes Jason Furman. In the long run, however, Russia is likely to be the war's biggest loser.

War in Europe: it's not just about Ukraine

Russia has been the global loser since 1989, a development that President Putin is now reversing, writes former Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel. In today's opinion, he analyzes the current development and the consequences for China and Europe. His conclusion: the continent must invest in its own security and move closer together economically. Putin will make his next steps dependent on Europe's clarity and strength.

He wants more: Putin and his historic role

The Russian president has broken all treaties and agreements concluded by Russia and the Soviet Union since the CSCE Final Act. From his point of view, the principles of sovereignty and territorial identity would have no validity – probably including the Baltic states.
