This proposed legislation is potentially a bit of a watershed for media freedom in the EU - definitely one to watch for those of us interested in UK media corruption & regulation.

The key sentence from the @HuffPost article linked above is this one:

«Press freedom and civil rights organizations agreed that police, the local prosecutor’s office and the judge who signed off on the search warrant overstepped their authority.»

And all of this crap to please an owner of a restaurant who had ignored a DUI-related loss of her driving license and then sent the cops after the newspaper.

This stinks. This needs an independent investigation.

When a car bomb killed Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017, Brussels promised action to better protect journalists.

The European Commission last year forwarded a directive to combat strategic lawsuits against public participation (or SLAPPs), which are used to censor and silence public critics.

Her son, Andrew Caruana Galizia, however, says the new anti-SLAPP law would not have helped his mother.

Russian prosecutors on Tuesday declared the independent TV station Dozhd to be an "undesirable" organisation.

Dozhd, which means "Rain" in Russian, moved from Russia to Latvia shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It later moved its offices to the Netherlands.

The channel had already been banned by Moscow, but the new designation means any staff or donors in Russia can be prosecuted.

Freedom of expression and media freedom are firmly anchored in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU. It's considered important for democratic societies to be able to tolerate a variety of opinions, even if they offend religious sensibilities.

However, provocations against religious communities repeatedly spark debate about the limits of this freedom.

To what extent is it acceptable to mock religion?

Politico лийкват доклада на ЕК за върховенството на правото. Според него Комисията ще предприеме последните стъпки за пълното прекратяване на уж отпадналия “механизъм за сътрудничество и проверка”, известен и като “мониторинг”.
