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

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.
Today @FacingFactsEU attends the High Level Group on Combating #HateSpeech and #HateCrime to foster exchange and concrete discussions between national authorities on how to fill existing gaps in hate crime recording & data collection practice across the #EU.
The work of the High Level Group on Combating #HateSpeech and #HateCrime focuses on:
👉providing better support to victims, in line w/ Victims Rights Directive
👉improving hate crime training for law enforcement
👉enhancing recording, reporting and data collecting of #HateCrimes
We are offering a free counselling service within the existing support structures of Tell MAMA.
