In light of the escalating censorship measures across almost every country I decided to prepare the text for a ECI that would grant increased free speech safeguards against public moral laws.
Of course there’s no guarantee that it’ll come to pass or achieve its goals, but if it did I believe it would greatly benefit the goals of your foundation and the goal of several others too.
I believe right now is the best time to gain support for such a thing due to recent controversies that are spreding to mainstream society, as it will get support from many groups: after all companies would benefit from it too.
Best case scenario it could even lead to CLSD being unbanned.
But I don’t have the resources needed to start the initiative. I believe this foundation can gather the necessary people to carry it on.
Can you help me? I’ll post the text later if this gets attention.
TLDR: get legal reforms that ensure public moral and obscenity legal justifications can’t be used to completely prohibit the sale and distribution of content, products and services. They can only be used to restrict it for minors and require labeling.
Can you please hold this stuff back until the german supreme court has decided on the CLSD ban? They already said in their press releases that it is scheduled for this year. It would give you an example for the EU that it violates human rights (should the court agree) esp. given that the infringed rights in Germany’s constitution are 1:1 copies of the “Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union”. You will just be seen as someone “infiltrating” a social movement if you do it now imo.
Multiple experts told me, in private, that it will be ruled unconstitutional with a decision expected in autumn.
I don’t understand the argument about infiltrating a social movement if I’m being honest?
To tell the truth CLSD are only incidental to my proposal, its wording is much more general and encompasses all restrictions based on public moral
It’s more about defining its scope so that sale would be protected, only content warnings or sales restriction for minors would be considered necessary in a democratic society
As fare as case cited I wrote about Bastien Vivès: clear case of legal uncertainty created by overly broad laws
Either way at the moment I don’t have the requirements to put it in place, just a WIP text
