Conspirators.sk won the court with a controversial Czech website. They were waiting for it for seven years
This is the second success in court.
BRATISLAVA. After March Victory against the Diary Standard Today, the project Konspiratorati.sk also succeeded in the court against the controversial Czech media parliamentary letters. It is considered a political boulevard among Czech experts, but it is also known for the spread of misinformation, Russian propaganda or conspiracy narratives.
Parliamentary Letters have been judged with the creators of the project since 2018. At that time, they reached an urgent measure on the basis of which conspirators.sk had to be removed from their public list Disinformation, conspiracy and otherwise problematic websites. It is to serve primarily to marketers and advertisers of advertising to avoid advertising on problematic content.
The creators of the project for seven years were waiting for the trial. The action of the Czech media was dismissed in its entirety in full by the Bratislava III.
Victory for freedom of expression
Parliamentary letters were sued for unfair competition and damaging reputation.
« It is important that the court again confirmed in this case that our project is not a non -curled procedure and gave preference to our right to freedom of speech over the right to the applicant’s right to the possibility of spreading misleading, propaganda or hateful content, » commented the decision founder of the project and chairman of the Civic Association, Ján Urbančík.
They parody them
- In the Czech Republic, the satirical project Parallel letters, which is won against disinformation, has also been established in the Czech Republic.
- In March, the project made it visible when he caught Babiš’s deputy Berenik Pestová, who wrote a letter to Mark Zuckerberg for deleted status. The parallel letters married Facebook chief and Pestová assured that they were personally dealing with her status. Even after Pest’s media coverage continued to refuse to get caught.
Parliamentary letters could theoretically stay on the public list.
The project was originally operated by Nesuccess, which was directed by the above -mentioned precautionary measure. Since 2019, the project has been operated by the civic association Konšpiratersi.sk, for which the decision was not covered.
However, the authors of the project were respected by the original verdict and waited for the litigation.
The Czechs sued Nesuccess and the civic association – but they had withdrawn the lawsuit before. The court awarded both the defendants the costs of the proceedings in its entirety.
Conspirators.sk advises that parliamentary letters can return to the public list in the foreseeable future.
At present, the re -evaluation of the project’s expert commission is being re -evaluated. If they are re -assigned to the list of conspirators, they will also publish an expert opinion that will justify this step.
Opened the door to another dissatisfied
The public list of conspirators is designed primarily for marketers and advertisers. They can voluntarily use it to protect the reputation of their companies and products so that they do not inject on dubious websites from the list.
However, although the list of recommendations has been a character, in recent years, several misinformation projects that have appeared on it have been won. Parliamentary letters were the first ever medium to succeed in June 2018 in court – albeit on the second attempt – with a request to issue an urgent measure to remove their name from the list.
The Standard Diary after the Court Loss may remain on the list of conspirators Read
It opened the door to another disinformation actors who tried to do the same. In the following years, the main news and the main diary gradually succeeded. Even in their case, however, the courts later decided that their objections are not in place and today are again on the list of the website kakpiratorati.sk.
Downloading from the list also tried to reach the Internet daily Standard. However, last year, however, failed to apply for an urgent measure and two weeks ago the court also dismissed his lawsuit for the civic association.
