Position Paper: Safeguarding Palestinian Digital Rights in the EU Policy Framework

7amleh, in collaboration with RNW Media, has released a new position paper titled: “Safeguarding Palestinian Digital Rights in the EU Policy Framework.”

The paper highlights how current EU policies fall short in protecting Palestinians online, often enabling censorship and discriminatory moderation in times of conflict, and calls on the EU to:

• Require platforms to transparently report state-issued content moderation requests
• Ensure platforms follow EU standards on freedom of expression and privacy when responding to takedown demands
• Strengthen oversight to prevent politically motivated censorship
• Implement Article 40 of the DSA and grant access to data on moderation in war zones
