Client Overview:

The European Anti-SLAPP Monitor is a public platform designed to track and report on the progress of EU and Council of Europe member states in implementing Anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) regulations. The platform serves as a transparent, easily accessible resource for policymakers, journalists, activists, and the general public interested in understanding how countries are addressing the misuse of legal systems to silence criticism and free speech.

Problem:

Tracking the implementation of Anti-SLAPP regulations across multiple EU and Council of Europe member states is a complex process. Information is often scattered across government reports, NGO publications, and media sources, making it difficult for stakeholders to access up-to-date and accurate data. Without a centralized, public-facing platform, it is challenging to assess each country’s progress, identify gaps, and hold authorities accountable for regulatory changes. This lack of transparency limits the effectiveness of advocacy efforts and weakens public awareness of Anti-SLAPP measures.

Goals:

  1. Create a unified platform where users can access real-time updates on the status of Anti-SLAPP regulations across member states.
  2. Ensure the website provides clear, accessible, and user-friendly information on the regulatory progress of each country.
  3. Empower activists, journalists, and policymakers with tools to monitor and report on Anti-SLAPP measures.
  4. Develop an intuitive interface for easy navigation and access to key data points.
  5. Build a platform that can be updated regularly as new regulations and progress reports are released.

Solution:

The European Anti-SLAPP Monitor was developed as a centralized, user-friendly platform to provide comprehensive, real-time tracking of Anti-SLAPP regulatory progress. The platform’s structure allows for dynamic content updates, ensuring stakeholders can access the latest information as new regulations are introduced or amended.

Results:

  • Increased Transparency
  • Public Accountability
  • Improved User Experience
  • Efficient Content Updates
  • Boosted Advocacy Efforts
