No one person or group should 'decide' what counts as reasonable for everyone else, it should be an interconnected system of rigorous assessment.

But I do think we should be worried by how easy it is for corporations and banks to deplatform and cut funding support for something, it's all well and good when it's against something awful, but the same tactics could just as easily be used against some other entity they don't like.

I therefore urge all Council of Europe member states to preserve press and media freedom and ensure that measures to combat disinformation are necessary, proportionate and subject to regular oversight, including by Parliament and national human rights institutions. Measures to combat disinformation must never prevent journalists and media actors from carrying out their work or lead to content being unduly blocked on the Internet. Those countries which have introduced restrictions that do not meet these standards must repeal them as a matter of urgency.
