"In video comments, the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said, "Make no mistake, under President Trump's leadership and this administration, you have the right to worship freely and safely. And if I haven't been clear already, if you violate that sacred right, we are coming after you." So people have a First Amendment right to worship that DOJ will protect, but journalists suddenly have no First Amendment right to report on issues of public interest and concern? We disagree."
"Companies, entrepreneurs and politicians are increasingly leaning on the EU's data protection rules to force journalists to back away from critical reporting about them, a new report has warned. The report into SLAPP [Strategic Lawsuits and Against Public Participation] across Europe also notes that an EU-wide law intended to shield the media from such lawsuits must be bolstered if it is to work as intended."
Arrests of Don Lemon and Geraldine Fort for reporting on a church protest can be construed as attempts to chill reporting on ICE protests. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi asserted protection of worship rights and threatened prosecution for violations, while journalists' First Amendment reporting rights appear under threat. Superinjunctions and DMCA takedowns have been used to censor reporting on data breaches, and Italian journalists experienced effects of a UK superinjunction. SLAPP suits and misuse of EU data protection rules pressure journalists to abandon critical reporting. Reports call for stronger EU-wide protections for media against such lawsuits.
