The British Government supports freedom of expression and of the media. We do not
support censorship of broadcasters, Russian or otherwise. The informal discussion
paper, which we and other EU partners have supported, does not advocate media censorship,
but proposes a coordinated response to Russian disinformation. The paper makes clear
that rules designed to promote objective broadcast media reporting and transparency
of interests, and to prevent incitement of hatred or propagation of violence and war,
with due respect to freedom of expression must be observed, and complaints investigated
by regulators.
