This is #Palestine with #DianaButtu | #WorldPressFreedomDay: Palestinian Voices Under Fire

"It should be no surprise that 2024 was among the deadliest for journalists in 30 years. Across the world, we’re seeing a sharp increase in attacks on media pluralism and independence, as governments of all stripes undermine the rule of law and democratic governance, erode protections for whistleblowers, and use dangerous narratives to smear journalists and human rights defenders. In many countries, governments are also passing laws that cite national security as a rationale for silencing speech they don’t like. This is happening in a context where civic space continues to shrink globally; after the U.S. administration decided to suspend funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), dozens of independent media outlets in more than 30 countries were severely impacted.

These are far from the only threats. As we mark World Press Freedom Day 2025, we’re highlighting some of the gravest and most persistent digital threats to journalism: the largely unchecked rise of spyware, persistent attacks on encryption, increased disinformation and abuse on online platforms, and the weaponization of laws to enable the silencing of journalists and human rights defenders. While these threats aren’t new, the current context puts people and communities already at risk in greater danger. Make no mistake: this is a crisis. Governments and all relevant stakeholders must take urgent and immediate action to save press freedom in the digital age."
