A manual on media freedom and the internet
The OSCE presented a new publication by the the Representative on Freedom of the Media, Miklos Haraszti, which "voices concern over limitations of access to the Internet and offers "recipes" on how to preserve the freedom of the Net. [...] The Media Freedom Internet Cookbook, further attempts to help users and governments fight "bad content", for example hate speech, without jeopardising freedom. "Regulatory activism can lead to suppression of freedom regardless of whether [the] censorship was intended or came as a consequence of ignorance. I intend to warn about the dangers over the Internet just as I do in the case of 'classic' censorship in the print press or the broadcast media" Haraszti added.
