Terrorist content online regulation: a boost to safety or a threat to free speech online?
Virtual press briefing with Pirate MEP Patrick Breyer on Wednesday 1 April 2020 from 10:00 AM.
We would like to invite you to a virtual press briefing on 1st April on the negotiations on the proposed EU Regulation on Preventing the Dissemination of Terrorist Content Online. The briefing will be with Patrick Breyer, Pirate MEP, who is active in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, and is co-negotiating the Terrorist Content Online file as the group’s shadow rapporteur.
The European Parliament, Council, and Commission have been finalising the details of the EU terrorist content filter regulation since October 2019, in response to terrorist organisations’ increased use of online networks for propaganda and recruitment. However, the proposed text as it stands does not necessarily add anything to the current ad hoc approach and could pose serious issues for free speech online. Civil society and media organisations, the Fundamental Rights Agency and UN Special Rapporteurs, and Internet industry have been ringing the alarm bells.
Who? Patrick Breyer, Pirate MEP
When? Wednesday, 1 April 2020, 10:00 AM
Where? Online via virtual conference (access details will be provided after registration)
The press briefing will be held in English. To RSVP, please email: Alex.Johnson@europarl.europa.eu.
