  1. Interesting:

    "Taken together, the [European Media Freedom Act]’s provisions offer a tiered but genuinely meaningful landscape for strategic litigation.

    Strategic litigation is, however, neither a panacea nor a guarantee. Its effectiveness depends on judicial independence, adequate legal resources, and the willingness of courts to engage with politically sensitive (legal) questions."

  2. On the same day, the EU Commission launched an infringement procedure against #Hungary for failing to implement the European Media Freedom Act #EMFA + the Audiovisual Media Services Directive #AVMSD:

    "Hungary does not comply with provisions re interference in the work of #journalists", "restricting their economic activities and editorial freedom."

    Nor "offer adequate protection of journalistic sources & confidential comms, nor effective judicial protection when these rights are breached."

    1/ Desde agosto, en vigor la Ley de Libertad de Medios UE #EMFA

    Buena noticia…a medias.

    L'#EMFA obliga a transparència en la propietat dels mitjans, i amplia la protecció de fonts.

    ⚠️ Però la #MediaExemption (el mitjà té privilegis de visibilitat si s'autodefineix com tal) posa en risc la contra-informació i desmentit a la desinformació sistèmica.

  7. 📆 Today marks the full entry into application of the European Media Freedom Act (#EMFA), a landmark step towards strengthening media pluralism and independence across the EU.

    When implemented, the EMFA needs to provide:

    🔹 Concrete safeguards to protect journalists, sources, & civil society

    🔹 Greater transparency on the use of surveillance technologies

    🔹 Accessible legal remedies for victims of #spyware

    🔹 Clarification & strict limitation of national security exceptions

  8. A key takeaway of the panel: while the European Media Freedom Act (#EMFA) entering into force this August is a crucial step, loopholes around the undefined ‘national security’ exception risk undermining its safeguards.

  9. Tausende #Ungarn demonstrieren gegen Mediengesetz

    "Angesichts der komfortablen Mehrheit der FIDESZ-Partei von Regierungschef Viktor Orban gilt eine Zustimmung als Formsache."

    Und genau deshalb sollte die Europ. Kommission deutlichere Schritte setzen, als nur die Gesetzesrücknahme zu fordern.

    Die EK sollte nicht aus Rücksicht auf 🇩🇪 Abhängigkeiten so schwach auftreten. 🔥

    ✊ Es gilt: rechtsstaatliche europäische Grundwerte aufrechtzuhalten & den #EMFA durchzusetzen.

  10. RSF fordert, wichtige Vorhaben in der 🇩🇪 Gesetzgebung konsequent umzusetzen, z.B. die #EU-Verordnungen European Media Freedom Act (#EMFA), den Digital Services Act (DSA) und die Anti-#SLAPP-Richtlinie.

  11. 1/
    W związku z wdrażaniem w Polsce Europejskiego Aktu Wolności Mediów (#EMFA) zwracamy uwagę na konieczność wzmocnienie niezależności polskich mediów, ochrony dziennikarzy i redakcyjnej integralności.

    W liście wysłanym do Ministerstwa Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego zaapelowaliśmy o:

    1. wzmocnienie gwarancji niezależności redakcyjnej dziennikarzy zatrudnionych w mediach publicznych,

    2. prowadzenie wyspecjalizowanego ciała samoregulacyjnego,

  12. Im September 2023 nominierte die EU-Kommission die ersten sechs Gatekeeper: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft."

  13. 1/
    Europejski akt o wolności mediów #EMFA ma wzmocnić ochronę źródeł dziennikarskich.

    Przy tym EMFA dopuszcza użycie wobec osób pracujących w mediach oprogramowania szpiegującego (typu #Pegasus) – ale tylko w przypadku najpoważniejszych przestępstw i pod warunkiem, że osoby inwigilowane mają np. prawo do informacji, a zgodę na inwigilację wydaje niezależny organ sądowy.

    Polska tych warunków nie spełnia. Zdaniem nie tylko Panoptykonu, ale też #RPO, @UODO , #NIK, #ETPC

  14. 2/3 🚨 The European Media Freedom Act #EMFA, adopted by the EU yesterday, aimed to protect journalists from EU governments abusing #spyware.

    Despite its lofty ambitions, #EMFA lacks crucial safeguards, and may even end up promoting the use of spyware against journalists ❌

  15. 🇬🇧 #Pirates on EU media freedom law #EMFA: We welcome the protection for journalists, but criticise the lack of a ban on using spyware on journalists, as well as possible censorship of foreign media. Criticism must not be silenced!

  16. 🇩🇪 #Piraten zum EU-Medienfreiheitsgesetz #EMFA: Wir begrüßen den Schutz der freien Presse, kritisieren aber das fehlende Verbot des Ausspionierens von Journalisten und die mögliche Zensur von Auslandsmedien. Kritik darf nicht verstummen!

  17. Yesterday, @EPCulture confirmed the EU Media Freedom Act #EMFA deal.

    ❌ They missed the chance to ensure sufficient protection for journalists against state interference, & took a dangerous step toward legalising #spyware in the EU.

    #EU #media #journalism #giornalisti #UE

  18. 3/3 The EU Media Freedom Act #EMFA deal by @EPCulture adopted yesterday sets a concerning precedent for future state interferences and abuses.

    🚨 This is alarming, with several Member States expressing a clear desire to expand #surveillance and law enforcement competencies.

  19. 2/3 @EPCulture's confirmation of the #EMFA deal means the introduction of the 'media exemption' — a broad exception from DSA provisions for independent entities.

    This risks increased dis- and misinformation.

  21. Statt Journalismus als einen der wichtigsten demokratischen Kontrollmechanismen zu schützen, drängen EU-Mitgliedsstaaten auf die Legitimation von staatlichem Hacken gegen Journalist:innen & berufen sich dabei auf „nationale Sicherheit“. #EMFA #PEGA derstandard.at/story/300000019

  26. At #Disinfo2023 Diana Wallis reminds the words of
    Vera Jourova last year on #MediaExemption': an idea “in the box of good intentions leading to hell".
    One year later, media exemption has been rejected in the #DSA BUT voted in #Article17 of #EMFA. "A media needs help to be free. What happens here neither helps us, nor the media."

  30. ¿Con la #EMFA y la #MediaExemption estamos en #Europa a las puertas de la instauracion de una "dictadura mediatica"?

    ¿O seria que la #censura a #RT y #Sputnik (y del idioma #ruso en varios paises europeos) ya nos estaba mostrando el camino que los oligarcas han tomado en el Jardin de #FuckBorrell?

    ‼️Demasiada tibieza en las regulaciones #UE sobre Libertad de los Medios #EMFA y la de #PoliticalAds

    Dependerán de la presidencia española.
    Incluso orgs. activistas como Edri son demasiado laxas.
