Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 31 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 31a. Notes with concern that the concepts of ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’ lack a clear, universally agreed and objective legal definition; emphasises the fundamental legal principle of lex certa, which requires any restriction on the freedom of expression, as protected by Article 11 of the Charter, to be prescribed by law with absolute clarity and precision; warns that empowering governments or EU bodies to regulate poorly defined and inherently subjective concepts risks creating a chilling effect on legitimate political discourse and lays the groundwork for arbitrary censorship; |
