📢 together with @enablingNGOlaw, we launch new joint paper on the DSA Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments. We call on @EU_Commission to ensure that fundamental rights risks imposed by big tech are adequately assessed and mitigated!

French authorities must lift the ban on TikTok in New Caledonia and #KeepItOn!

We recognize the need for prompt response to the spread of illegal content threatening people’s safety. But we remind the @EU_Commission that anti-terrorist measures cannot be used to silence historically opposed groups and to reinforce discrimination ⬇️

Foreign agent laws belong to authoritarian toolkit of oppressive regimes, Russia included. They prevent CSO from exercising their key function: to be independent watchdogs monitoring state power and state’s compliance with the rule of law.

“The era when this country was ruled by civil society organizations is over”This is a lose translation of Róbert Fico’s statememt, calling for a foreign agent law to crack down on civic space in Slovakia 🇸🇰

We urge #EU to call for an immediate ceasefire to protect people of Gaza! Palestinians are being dehumanized online and offline, while Islamophobia in Europe is intensifying. #CeasefireNow

[Eliška Pírková @EPirkova]

DSA enforcement needs to be robust but it must follow due process & rule of law. This is of absolute importance when people’s lives are at serious risks.

🔴 Palestinians need internet access now more than ever! 🔴

A continued Gaza blackout endangers lives! With more than two million people in darkness, it's more difficult to document events, access life-saving info, or connect with loved ones. #KeepItOn

“People start to forget why we arrived to the point when journalists can be blown up in brought daylight. If it weren’t for journalists, people wouldn’t find out about organized crime and ongoing corruption. These are European problems, not just of few Member States.”

Our friends at @EFF, Christoph Schmon & Paige Collings wrote a solid analysis of dangerous must carry obligation and it’s negative consequences for the DSA enforcement for @TechCrunch ⬇️

Rejection of amendments to EMFA proposal by the @Europarl_EN is bad news for independent media & public discourse. Not adopting full ban on spyware and keeping privilege treatment of media content in the text with no additional safeguards is a huge mistake.

[Liberties.EU @LibertiesEU]

The @Europarl_EN has adopted the @EPCulture proposal for #EMFA. Now the file enters the next legislative phase: the trilogue.

The Parliament rejected amendments on media privilege in #Article17 that would’ve created a balanced media regulation across the EU. 🧵
