Agree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP), being a center-right political group, generally supports measures that ensure the integrity and security of information while also valuing freedom of speech and enterprise. They have shown support for regulations that combat misinformation, as seen in their backing of the EU's Code of Practice on Disinformation. However, their support is balanced with a concern for individual freedoms and the autonomy of businesses, suggesting a moderate agreement.

Slightly agree

Yes, social media companies are politically biased and need to be regulated

While the EPP might agree that there is political bias in some social media companies, their approach to regulation would likely be more nuanced than simply imposing regulations due to perceived political biases. They would probably advocate for transparency, accountability, and fairness in how social media platforms operate, rather than outright stating that these platforms need regulation solely because of political bias.

Slightly disagree

No, social media companies are private and should not be regulated by the government

Although the EPP supports the free market and the autonomy of private companies, they also recognize the unique role and power of social media platforms in shaping public opinion and the democratic discourse. Therefore, they might support some level of oversight or regulation to ensure these platforms do not become conduits for harmful misinformation, albeit with caution not to overregulate.

Disagree

No

While the EPP values the principles of free enterprise and might be cautious about excessive government intervention in private businesses, including social media companies, they recognize the threat posed by misinformation and fake news to democratic processes and societal harmony. Therefore, they are unlikely to completely oppose some level of regulation aimed at combating these issues.

Disagree

No, the government should not determine what is fake or real news

The EPP, given its commitment to democratic values and the rule of law within the EU framework, would likely disagree with the notion that the government should not determine what is fake or real news. They would probably argue that there is a role for public authorities in ensuring the veracity of information, especially when it impacts public health or security, albeit with necessary safeguards to protect freedom of expression.
