Sixty-one members of the European Parliament called on the President of the @EU_Commission, @vonderleyen, and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs & Security Policy, @kajakallas, to make stronger calls for foreign journalist access to Gaza. The letter says that security can no longer be invoked by Israel as justification to deny access. Read the full letter⤵️

Freedom of expression, academic freedom, and creative liberty should never be taken for granted.

It's a collective achievement, reflected in your everyday actions.

In the EU, you have the space to speak your mind without having to shrink who you are.

CPJ, @FPAIsPal, the Union of Journalists in Israel, and @RSF_inter filed an emergency motion to the Israeli Supreme Court asking the justices to expedite a decision on allowing the international media to enter Gaza. https://t.co/5QoY0R7Jni

📊 Este estudio de Reuters Institute (en el Reino Unido) es demoledor: https://t.co/ieHTg8O3kB

1️⃣ No es ya que los jóvenes están migrando masivamente de los medios de comunicación a las redes sociales, algo obvio; es que los jóvenes cada vez están menos interesados por las noticias (vengan de donde vengan): Solo el 35% de los jóvenes de 18-24 años están muy interesados en las noticias.

2️⃣ El 39% de los jóvenes de 18-24 años se informa por las redes sociales (frente al 21% de esa misma franja de edad, hace 10 años).

3️⃣ Las noticias políticas interesan a un 22% de los jóvenes de 18-24 años, frente al 51% de los mayores de 55.

4️⃣ En la cohorte 18-24 años, Instagram es la principal fuente de información (30%), seguida de YouTube (23%), TikTok (22%), Twitter / X (20%), Facebook (16%) y WhatsApp (15%).

5️⃣ El 59% de jóvenes de 18-24 años consume pódcasts, frente al 24% de los mayores de 55 años.

6️⃣ Los más jóvenes (18-24 años) prestan mucha más atención a los creadores de contenido y personalidades (51% vs. 39%), que los mayores de 55 años (32% vs. 46%).

Podle nového výzkumu švédského institutu Varieties of Democracies je svoboda projevu USA „na nejnižší úrovni od konce druhé světové války“. „Rychlost, s jakou se rozpadá americká demokracie, nemá v moderní historii obdoby.”

What does it mean to put people—not profit—at the center of #AI? At #YCF2 in @UN Vienna, #PCMS explored how AI can support #SDGs or undermine them without governance.
Better AI > more AI.

🚫 O těchto mediálních restrikcích a manipulaci informačních toků v US by se v ČR mělo mluvit více. 👉 Napříč politickým spektrem i občanskou společností.

Je to omezování svobody projevu, když se prezident chlubí, že zařídil vyhození k němu kritických novinářů z medií? Co ns to @SOS

The spread of misinformation, disinformation & hate speech online are fueling prejudice & violence.

The UN Global Principles for Information Integrity are a starting point for the creation of a more humane information ecosystem.

📵 What does digital sovereignty really mean beyond slogans?
At the Digital Sovereignty Workshop in Brussels led by @ISOCBelgium & @Brussels_School, #PCMS explored #BigTech lock-in, #EU alternatives & why moving away isn’t just switching tools.👉 It means rethinking dependencies.

Russia ranks 4th on CPJ’s #2025PrisonCensus with 28 imprisoned journalists following an uptick of arrests in retaliation for coverage of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Belarus, ranking 5th, continues its crackdown on the press with 25 journalists in prison. https://t.co/AyDaC3ox3l

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

Democracy doesn’t require perfect truth—but it does require something more fragile: independent voices. The “wisdom of crowds” depends on independence between judgments. If a single actor can speak through thousands of inauthentic accounts, the apparent consensus of the crowd stops being informative.

The most dangerous outcome is not a single viral lie—it is synthetic consensus: the illusion that “everyone is saying this,” which can quietly bend beliefs and norms.

🚨CPJ’s 2025 Prison Census found China, Myanmar, and Israel are the world’s three top jailers of journalists in connection to their work. At least 330 journalists were behind bars globally on December 1, 2025, reflecting growing authoritarianism and escalating numbers of armed conflicts worldwide.

Komentář našeho Jana Vobořila:

"Jak je možné, že některé české školy v podstatě nutí děti mladší třinácti let k zapojení do školních whatsappových skupin, protože se prostě jinak k některým informacím nedostanou nebo je to pro ně mnohem obtížnější?"

Journalist imprisonments remain near record highs worldwide, fueled largely by political repression as corruption and abuse of power flourish.
