Due to the ongoing travel restrictions, the first MSI-DIG meeting, scheduled on 16 and 17 March 2020 in Strasbourg, could not take place. Members of the Expert Committee on Freedom of Expression and Digital Technologies convened a first exchange of views via videoconference to discuss their expectations and priority concerns to be addressed in 2020 and 2021. The second MSI-DIG meeting has been provisionally scheduled for 15-16 September 2020 in Strasbourg. Until then, rapporteurs will be preparing first outlines for their upcoming policy advice on two themes of crucial importance in today’s world: a ‘draft recommendation to member States on the impacts of digital technologies on freedom of expression’, and a ‘guidance note on promising content moderation practices’.
