Hoekstra, it's time to disclose any past fossil fuel ties before representing the EU at #COP28 this week.

Over a month ago, the European Parliament raised concerns and urged Hoekstra to share his clients at #McKinsey .

Today #FossilFreePolitics allies join the call. We must ensure transparency

We talked to Lorraine Chiponda, from @DontGasAfrica,on how they are organised and what is the movement's view on a just transition towards renewable energy. Filmed during the #powertothepeople conference in Vienna.

🤝 The report documents more than a 1000 meetings between interest groups and member of the @EUparliament on the #AIAct

56% of those meetings were with industry while only 13% were with civil society.

The report shows Big Tech has used all the lobbying tricks in the book to water down the #AIAct.

🕴️ Used shady groups to lobby on its behalf
💵 Funded academics and think tanks
👥 Pushed its agenda through a crucial expert group
🇺🇸 Mobilized the US government to lobby the EU

🔥New report shows how Big Tech has watered down the Artificial Intelligence Act.

❌ AI systems have trapped people in poverty, enabled workers surveillance and racially discriminated people.

We should not let Big Tech get away this time
