STOA: Technical feasibility study for a European streaming platform
Establishing a European digital public sphere where all European citizens can access current affairs would present a great opportunity. Existing platforms often lack democratic discourse and exacerbate polarization by promoting emotionally charged content. Securing European democracies relies on preserving freedom of expression and ensuring access to qualitative and trustworthy content from across the EU and beyond.
The creation of a European streaming platform could serve as a multilingual hub, aggregating high-quality news broadcasts from across Europe. This platform would enable EU citizens to discover and consume content in multiple languages, leveraging advanced AI technologies such as automatic speech recognition, machine translation for subtitles, and even automatic speech-to-speech translation. The recommended study evaluates the technical viability of implementing a European streaming platform.

The Council for European Public Space is a non-governmental new-style think-and-do tank that brings together eminent European personalities and develops evidence-based and politically viable strategies to create an open, fair and safe digital European Public Space. It works like a think and do tank by initiating research and studies, bringing together actors from politics, science, and civil society, and initiating joint projects that advance Europe on the path to a democratically constituted digital public space.
