Euronews is publishing op-eds from 🇺🇸lobbyists & pretending they're news articles. It blasts "decoupling fantasies & grandstanding" from those wary of 🇺🇸, and praises VDL's 🇺🇸🇪🇺 surrender deal. It was written by "EU Tech Loop", the blog of a 🇺🇸 lobbying group. But it's labelled as a normal news article

Good to have my suspicions concerned. My feelings of distrust of Euronews had been growing over the last few months for a variety of little reasons, but my last straw was when they recently promoted engaging with their AI news chatbot to get information. That's a HUGE red flag for me.

"EU Tech Loop" is the blog of Consumer Choice Center Europe, a lobbying organisation that you can learn more about here. They have an agreement with Euronews to publish these 'articles'. Nothing wrong with op-eds or sponsored articles when they're *labelled as such*, but this is deceptive.

To make matters worse, Consumer Choice Center Europe is fully funded by Meta and Google! The 'EU Tech Loop' articles on Euronews should be seen as part of US Big Tech lobbying against the EU’s digital rulebook ⚠️ See also our report published earlier this month corporateeurope.org/en/2026/02/a...
