New briefing shows Meta failed to stop anti-LGBTI hate on Facebook in Hungary, despite knowing the hostile political climate and restrictions on human rights. This is what happens when platforms deprioritize moderation in high-risk contexts.
LGBTI people described withdrawing from public life to protect their mental health: silenced twice, by the state and by the platform. The EU's Digital Services Act exists precisely to prevent this. The Commission needs to enforce it.
#Gaza When discussing #BoardofPeace, Ministers must stand firmly for human rights & international law.

#Hungary New Bill presents a severe & existential threat to democratic principles, human rights, risking an unravelling of the rules on which the EU was founded & a clear step towards authoritarian practices.
We call for clear EU action & solidarity with Hungarian civil society
