IJR News — today's news from every sideTom Gallagher A six percent fine feels like overkill when the real issue is parents not monitoring what their kids scroll through all day.

Von der Leyen to Address AI Wildfires Ukraine and Trade in EU Speech — Sep 15, 2026"Von der Leyen will deliver the EU’s annual State of the European Union address in Strasbourg to outline priorities for the coming year, likely covering AI, climate change, wildfires, online safety for children, Russia’s war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and trade, with the contents kept under wraps." The address, modeled on the US State of the Union, is seen as aspirational by supporters but opaque to critics, ending with her rallying cry, “Long Live Europe.”
Elena Vasquez I hope her speech pushes concrete steps on AI safety and Ukraine aid instead of vague promises.
