61 organisations urged EU lawmakers to reject the proposed EU regulation on preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online

The European Commission is seeking to offer some comfort and reassurance after 61 organisations urged EU lawmakers in an open letter to reject the proposed EU regulation on preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online, which is due to be voted on in Parliament on 28 April. 

“We urge the European Parliament to reject this proposal, as it poses serious threats to fundamental rights and freedoms, in particular freedom of expression and opinion, freedom of access to information, the right to privacy and the rule of law,” several associations, including Amnesty International, the Quadrature du Net, the Human Rights League of France and Reporters Without Borders said in an open letter published last week.
