Follow the Commission on social media

The European Commission presents its work through various widely-used social media channels. We invite you to contribute to conversations on our accounts and to share our content.

We are pleased to see different views and opinions expressed, but we will not accept comments that are either offensive or could be hurtful to others. 

Be kind and avoid inflammatory, insulting or offensive language. Show respect to fellow users and the fundamental principles we all share. We say no to racism, xenophobia, and discrimination of any kind (religion, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). We also do not tolerate calls to violence. Any content breaching our moderation policy will be removed.

Please keep your comments related to the topic of our posts. We do not tolerate spam, and any comments with suspicious links will be removed. Also, avoid sharing misleading information, especially if it could harm others or is intended for personal gain.  

We strongly believe that our page should be a safe and welcoming space, where everyone can feel comfortable sharing their views.  To maintain this positive environment, we may hide or delete comments, and users can be banned when they repeatedly violate our moderation policy.

We aim to respond to as many questions as possible as quickly as we can. Did we miss yours? Please let us know at comm-social-media-teamec [dot] europa [dot] eu (comm-social-media-team[at]ec[dot]europa[dot]eu).
