The new law would see tech firms fined up to 4% of their global turnover if they 'systematically and persistently' fail to comply.
Social media giants could face heavy fines if they fail to remove terrorist content within an hour, under new legislation proposed by EU lawmakers.
The new law would see tech firms fined up to 4% of their global turnover if they"systematically and persistently" fail to comply. The legislation targets any material — such as text, images, sound recordings or videos — that incites or solicits terrorist offences, provides instructions for the carrying out of terrorist offences, or solicits participation in the activities of a terrorist group. It will also apply to content providing guidance on how to make and use explosives, firearms and other weapons for terrorist purposes.
"This propaganda can be linked to actual terrorist incidents and national authorities must be able to act decisively," he said."Any new legislation must be practical and proportionate if we are to safeguard free speech. Without a fair process we risk the over-removal of content as businesses would understandably take a safety-first approach to defend themselves. It also absolutely cannot lead to a general monitoring of content by the back door.
