#Cyprus: IPI is alarmed by a draft bill which would authorise surveillance of journalists & allow authorities to lift source protection. The bill - presented as part of Cyprus’ effort to align with #EMFA could actually weaken protections for the press.
Proposed Cyprus Bill Allowing Journalist Surveillance Sparks Outcry
Press freedom at risk, say watchdogs, as Cyprus law could force reporters to reveal sources. Proposed legislation allows spyware and sweeping surveillance of journalists.

There’s nothing anyone can do about the decadence of the Republican Party but Democrats like @blumenthal.senate.gov must do a whole lot more than just say the right things. If they don’t actually do more, they too will be viewed as complicit.
