  I dunno. Like, cheese? EU cheese?

  Maybe baklava?

    Sorry if I misunderstood. I consider the EU to be a government body.

    I assume cheese and baklava manufacturers are allowed to advertise wherever they like.

    Does this mean the EU is not allowing these cheese and baklava companies to advertise where they want?

      The EU is advertising itself and its initiatives, like DiscoverEU and other programs. They want their programs to be seen and used

  In September 2023, the EU Commission used unlawful micro-targeting on Twitter (X) to promote its heavily criticized chat control regulation.
