The Dominican Republic Bar Association (CARD), under the presidency of Trajano Potentini, expressed its support for the new policy announced by the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
This measure establishes visa restrictions for foreign officials who attempt to censor content disseminated on digital platforms based in that country.
As Rubio explained, the initiative's main objective is to protect freedom of expression, a fundamental value for democracy.
The policy is part of a series of actions to curb the influence of governments seeking to silence critical voices through censorship in digital media.The CARD positively valued this decision, considering it an important step towards the defense of fundamental rights in the digital environment.
He also highlighted the need to protect the free flow of information on the networks, especially in a global context marked by growing attempts of governmental control over the internet.
