European Commission
@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu  ·  activity timestamp 2 days ago

Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰

Journalists give voice to the voiceless, hold power to account, and keep citizens informed often at great personal risk.

Too many face intimidation, censorship, and violence simply for doing their job.

This World Press Freedom Day, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting journalists and defending independent media.

Because free press is the foundation of democracy.

@EUCommission does that mean
Henna Virkkunen has resigned?
Let the press be free! And everyone else too.

@EUCommission then stop chat control, ID verification for social media, the digital omnibus and protecteu - all of these laws aim at surveiling and deanonymizing the internet which will make independent journalism much more difficult

@EUCommission Then why are pro-palestinian voices so oppressed in Germany? Why did Germany decline 3 places in the press freedom index?

@EUCommission To include (please) "free from the private ownership/control of oligarchs, also known as "press barons".

The better model for a free press is ownership by a Board of Trustees pledged to uphold basic principles of probity & objectivity. Presently sadly lacking in the United Kingdom, with calamitous consequences for citizens.

@EUCommission Then it would be nice if you'll stop with #digitalomnibus , #ChatControl 2.0, ID verification and similar changes that exposes the identities of these free press journalists.

@EUCommission In Europe we are now not even free to call en veggieburger the way we want... And press may be free, but not independent from commerce and politics...

@EUCommission The free press relies on the ability to be pseudonymous, both for the journalists and their sources.

Don't undermine the foundation of our open societies by building infrastructure for ubiquitous online identity verification.

@EUCommission Except when the truth is mildly inconvenient to those in power or those with wealth. Then the truth will be muted and reporters will lose funding.

@EUCommission then start cleaning your own house, if I look at the World Press Freedom Index personally I think that anything under 90% in our EU is unacceptable and should be fixed immediately! Naturally if you want to silence press by #chatcontrol or forcing to publish sources.....

Germany for example already losses 3 places at the Press Freedom Index.

Then why sanctions against Journalists?

Why are there no sanctions against states, which are stomping with their feet on Press Freedom, and which are killing journalists nearly daily?

Journalism that depends on advertising and "clicks" will only ever echo the needs of the oligarchy.
