📢 EU #MediaFreedomAct Shouldn’t Revive Dreaded Media Exemption

"The #EMFA's proposed special treatment of #media content on the internet must not end up serving as a tool 🛠️ that enables those who spread #disinformation."

🇪🇺 #MediaFreedomAct: Don’t Break What Works

"If EU policymakers want a healthy and balanced online information ecosystem, they should improve the special treatment of #media content under the #EMFA and clarify important definitions."

See, this is why we need a The Crown-style #TV show but for the #history of the #EuropeanUnion

(The #EPP character arc from hero with Konrad Adenauer to 0 with #ManfredWeber would be 🔥)

Cal una #MediaFreedomAct ambiciosa per evitar situacions com aquesta, en què tota la dreta d'un país ataca una periodista per haver fet la seva feina: fiscalitzar i destapar fake news. Protegim els mitjans de les tendències il·liberals de Polònia, Hongria... i Espanya #Fakejóo

Mejor no ir. Yo ni la veo ni voy.

...demanded for in the EU’s #MediaFreedomAct #EMFA are not going to help. They are setting dangerous precedents for a two-tier #moderation system that is going to benefit some very prolific producers of disinformation and hatred online: Think #CNews in #France, the #DailyMail in the #UK, or any state-affiliated outlet in #Hungary and #Poland. There's a reason why even temporary ‘must carry’ obligations have been rejected in the #DSA and they should absolutely not be added to #EMFA. [4/8]

Re @EU_Commission @EU_Justice 3⃣ Media: Improvements in transparency of media ownership and the strengthening of the independence of public broadcasters.
Better protection of journalists needed everywhere. High time to agree on #MediaFreedomAct.

Pleased to address @EBU_HQ General Assembly #EBUGA.
The role of public service media is absolutely crucial also in the fight against #disinformation.
We have to balance powers in information space without introducing censorship!

Thank you Minister @miqueliceta for your strong support for the #MediaFreedomAct.
I warmly welcome the willingness of the #EU2023ES to get a final agreement by the end of the year.
We need safeguards at EU level to protect journalists and the media asap. https://t.co/3wfSi0MQq2

Svoboda a pluralita médií je jeden z klíčových pilířů demokracie. Mám radost, že se Rada dnes shodla na své pozici k Evropskému aktu o svobodě sdělovacích prostředků. Dík patří i @EU2022_CZ, které na návrhu pracovalo během předsednictví. 🙏🏻 Teď už jen akt co nejrychleji schválit! https://n.respublicae.eu/VeraJourova/status/1671457830388334592

Ca suffit 🇫🇷!
L'espionnage de journalistes est illégal et doit le rester.
La liberté de la presse est un pillier de l'Etat de droit.
Et la protection des sources est indispensable.
La sécurité nationale ne peut justifier de fonctionner en dehors des lois!

🚨 Le #MediaFreedomAct, censé protéger les journalistes, risque finalement d'entériner l’utilisation de logiciels espions à leur encontre !
Cela constituerait une atteinte gravissime à la liberté d'informer.
L'État de droit s'incarne au quotidien, il ne se décrète pas. #EMFA
