Abstract
During the negotiations of the EU Regulation on addressing the dissemination of terrorist content online, digital and human rights activists raised concerns regarding the safeguarding of fundamental rights. These actors were partially successful in influencing aspects of the final text of the Regulation, thus, raising the question of how such groups have managed to influence traditionally “securitized” counterterrorism policy. This study compares the discourses employed by the different EU institutions and digital and human rights advocates during the negotiation period. Approaching this through the lens of politicization, this study demonstrates that whilst securitizing discourses persist to a certain extent, some aspects of EU counterterrorism law are open to contestation.
