Fighting for facts in the era of Trump and Musk The alliance between Donald Trump and social media platform bosses such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg represents a global threat to free access to reliable information. Le Monde has therefore decided to stop posting its content on X and increase our vigilance on platforms such as TikTok and Meta.

Today we stand by French journalist @arialavrilleux.bsky.social who's facing five years in prison and a 75,000€ fine for doing her job as a journalist.

She was summoned this morning with a view to a possible indictment for ‘appropriation and disclosure of a national defence secret’.

A heartfelt thanks to my stellar colleagues from ECPMF, CASE, and the Council of Europe for making this conference possible!

In Italy, engaging policymakers on the Anti-SLAPP Directive remains a challenge, but CASE Italia is part of a strong network of civil society groups defending public participation.

Last week, I presented OBCT and CASE Italia’s work at the 2024 Anti-SLAPP Conference in Strasbourg, alongside fantastic colleagues who always inspire me.
