Asha Allen, CDT Advocacy Director for Europe, Online Expression & Civic Space, commented, \u201cThis type of public political pressure and confused understanding of the DSA will only foster an environment in which certain platforms will be incentivised to over-enforce their own policies and restrict lawful speech. We know that, in this case, such an approach will likely result in the silencing of human rights defenders, Palestinian activists, and journalists in the region.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
