Freedom to speak... but is anyone listening? A question #PCMS took from the #IH21 International Symposium. Information integrity is not only about harmful content, but also who shapes its circulation, whose voices are heard and whether freedom of expression remains protected.

Hypocrisy. Double standards. Not enough self-criticism. Not necessarily the words you’d expect to take away from a Brussels conference on democracy. But perhaps some of the ones we need to hear more often. For the second year, #PCMS joined @IDDBrussels . 🧵

3/4 2️⃣ We need to question ourselves more. @VeraJourova stressed the need for greater self-reflection. Where have our approaches failed? What have we misunderstood? Why is the world moving in directions we did not anticipate? Critical thinking must also be applied to ourselves.

4/4 3️⃣ Rethink how we fund journalism. Voices from Armenia & Moldova described burdensome applications, reporting and training that don’t always match needs on the ground. Do they need “another workshop”? They need resources, flexibility and time to do journalism. #IDDBrussels

“Bad Practice” has won the IJ4EU Impact Awards! One of three winners, the awards celebrate Europe’s top cross-border investigative journalism. A collaboration between OCCRP, Norway’s VG (@vgnett) and the U.K.’s The Times (@thetimes) with 45+ media outlets, the project exposed systemic failures that allowed doctors who have lost their medical licenses due to major wrongdoing — including sexual assault and botched medical treatments — to relocate and practice in different countries. Special thanks go to our project partners, whose reporting helped confirm more than 100 doctors banned in at least one country and licensed in another, still just the “tip of the iceberg.” You can read our award-winning investigation here: occrp.org/en/project/bad-pra…

Democratic resilience is not a communication campaign. It is a system property. 👉At #ECREA2026 in Brno, #PCMS presented “Prepared Alone, Vulnerable Together.” Systemic crises do not stay within organizational boundaries. Preparedness should be tested. pripravmese.cz

Uběhlo půl roku od rozhodnutí soudu, dle kterého je stávající právní úprava uchovávání dat z mobilů nezákonná. Snahu o nápravu však nevidíme. Nově po ní volá také Výbor pro lidská práva a moderní technologie, kde byl podnět schválen i přes tuhý odpor. 👉 digitalnisvobody.cz/blog/202…

Morocco’s government has long denied using the Israeli spyware Pegasus to surveil its citizens. Now, a former Moroccan intelligence officer has detailed how Morocco’s domestic intelligence agency used Pegasus to spy on a journalist. The whistleblower said Morocco’s intelligence agency avoided creating a paper trail tying it to Pegasus by procuring the spyware via a private intermediary company – a tactic confirmed by a second intelligence source.

Propagandistická síť News Pravda chrlí statisíce článků denně. Její česká mutace patří k nejaktivnějším. Skoro nikdo ji přitom nečte. Dezinformace a konspirace v mnoha jazycích mají zamořit tréninkové datasety a AI boty a přes ně světovou veřejnost. investigace.cz/rusky-server-…

V právním státě stojí zákony nad všemi politickými představiteli a chrání práva občanů, kteří jsou si před zákonem rovni. Podle nové evropské Zprávy o právním státu si Česko v této oblasti vede dobře, nedostatky má ale například v nastavení pravidel pro korupci či střet zájmů. Stejně důležité je také ale nepodkopávat důvěru veřejnosti v instituce státu a především v nezávislost justice. O tom i dalších tématech jsem se dnes bavil s experty na setkání přátel právního státu.

Media freedom needs #RuleOfLaw. Good discussion at @EU_Commission's 2025 Rule of Law Report w/@prezidentpavel @ZEK_Praha @Glopolis @Transparency_CZ @demokracie_cz . 📰 Independent journalism thrives where courts are independent, institutions accountable, citizens trust democracy.
