News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU’s Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our #MediaFreedomAct. @elonmusk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon.

Elon Musk’s Twitter has dissolved its Trust and Safety Council. That's the advisory group the company formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform. https://t.co/W9UOiaS5lk

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Discrimination & hate speech are early warning signs of genocide - and they are on the rise everywhere.

I call on every country to take concrete steps to protect communities at risk, including minorities, and address discrimination & persecution.
