فاس نيوز ميديا جريدة الكترونية جهوية تعنى بشؤون و أخبار جهة فاس مكناس – متجددة على مدار الساعة
The Digital Content Observatory follows with deep regret and grave concern the escalating wave of digital campaigns systematically targeting national sovereign institutions, foremost among them the security establishment, through social media platforms and dubious media outlets. These campaigns are marked by inciting rhetoric ranging from insults, defamation, doubt-casting, to public death threats.
As an independent civilian body dedicated to monitoring and analyzing digital interactions, our observatory records the following:
- Despite this systematic targeting, the national security institution continues to perform its duties quietly and professionally, within the framework of legal compliance and constitutional guarantees, far from any political posturing.
- The absence of clear official media responses and the failure to adequately address these campaigns open the door to dangerous misinterpretations and weaken public trust, especially at a time when we are witnessing an information war that extends beyond judicial arenas to influence public opinion.
- The use of slogans such as “freedom of expression” and “fighting corruption” as a cover for digital defamation and blackmail constitutes an imminent threat to digital stability and the moral security of citizens and institutions.
- The political and institutional silence in the face of these assaults is unjustified and often perceived as implicit complicity or abandonment of constitutional roles in protecting institutions and the nation’s defenders.
Accordingly, the Digital Content Observatory:
🔹 Calls on public media, elected institutions, political bodies, and civil society to explicitly reject these campaigns and fulfill their roles in defending the image of national institutions domestically and internationally.
🔹 Demands the restructuring of public media to align with new digital challenges and keep pace with the transformations imposed by the digital battleground.
🔹 Emphasizes the necessity of strengthening institutional communication strategies through regular statements, proactive clarifications, and targeted digital campaigns to reinforce societal trust and restore the dignity of those unjustly targeted.
🔹 Reminds that freedom of expression does not justify incitement, defamation, or harming the dignity of individuals or institutions, and stresses the importance of distinguishing responsible criticism from digital chaos.
In conclusion, the Observatory announces its full readiness to offer its digital and legal expertise to national institutions to contribute to formulating a strategic vision for protecting the national digital space and confronting the systematic threats targeting it.
