Be honest, did you buy the swords for yourself?

We hope to stimulate and provoke debate about free elections, election falsehoods, and the future of positive obligations in the Strasbourg Court.

We thread our arguments through the analytical prism of Bradshaw and others v. The United Kingdom. With this judgment being released this week, our arguments are extremely timely, in the event that this case is referred to the Grand Chamber and also for inevitable future cases which are to follow.

Katie Pentney and I make the normative case for the ECtHR to rethink its analytical approach to the right to free elections under Article 3 of Protocol 1 in cases involving disinformation and Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI).

Would be funny if it wasn’t so horrific ! 🥵

Thanks for sharing Colin!

Important point ! Thanks :)

@ethanshattock.bsky.social notes that the recently approved code of conduct on disinformation matters because it codifies this as a systemic risk under the DSA. He does worry, however, about insufficient references to freedom of expression protections

Completely naive to think that this is practically achievable. If the funding isn’t there to go to existing conferences, how are people going to have the ability to ‘build’ their own?
