Free Speech Advocates Warn EU Commission
More than 100 free speech advocates, including former U.S. and European officials, have urged the European Commission to reconsider a key internet regulation.
The advocates warn that the EU's Digital Services Act risks censoring global speech and undermining international free expression rights.
The EU’s Digital Services Act creates “a pan-European censorship infrastructure” with vaguely defined limits that could suppress lawful content across borders.
According to human rights group ADF International, the 113 signatories sent a letter to the executive body of the European Union expressing their concerns.
