Tématem setkání byla primárně problematika ochrany dětí online a oblast regulace technologií a moderování online obsahu. Nebavili jsme se o konkrétní legislativě, zajímal se primárně o to, co očekávám od Komise, že navrhne; mě zajímalo, jak se Google postaví k DFA.

I met in the EP in Strasbourg with Ms. Zhala Bayramova, Azerbaijani Human Rights Lawyer and daughter of Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu (Azerbaijani academic and anti-corruption fighter prosecuted by president Aliyev´s regime and nominated for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought 2024).

Schůzky se nakonec také účastnil Jakub Michálek, pirátský poslanec, jelikož tento časový slot pro něj byl vhodnější než ten se Zdeňkem Hřibem.

I was asked by Ms. Anna Zevako, on behalf of the Ukrainian human rights organization Media Initiative for Human Rights (MIHR), for an online meeting. MIHR is focusing on documenting the unlawful detention of civilians in the Russian-occupied territories and advocating for their release. Therefore, they wanted to discuss the broader issue of civilian detentions and potential avenues for advocacy. They contacted me due to my letter to one of the Ukrainian political prisoners, Serheii Kovalskyi. They asked me to also send my answer through them, as they are in contact with his lawyer, and medialize his case. I already had that in plan before this meeting.
