Among other things, I love that the EU has a presence on Mastodon: https://respublicae.eu/about and https://social.network.europa.eu/about , and not to mention it's one of the funders of lemmy's development, through https://nlnet.nl/ .

Putting money where the mouth is.

This is great.

Laws should be objective and precise, just like algorithms are, so it would be a good fit to have laws modeled in a more machine-readable form... sure, interpreting those laws to pass fair judgement still requires a human eye, but I believe it should be possible to at least be able to consult your local law in a more user-friendly way... which I hope this could end up helping with.

And of course something like that would need to be Free and Open Source to be trustworthy at all to begin with....
