Attorney General defends controversial bill on social media
Attorney General George Savvides supports a bill criminalizing threatening and condemnable behaviors on the Internet and Mass Media. The bill aims to draw a line between freedom of speech and recklessness, focusing on manifestly threatening and insulting behaviors. Savvides assures that the bill does not target criticism or expression of opinions, and journalists with professional standards have nothing to fear from it. The bill requires the Attorney General’s consent for criminal prosecution, ensuring that private individuals cannot misuse it.
