Europe to push for one-hour takedown law for terrorist content Artificial intelligence Latest Technology News Prosyscom.tech

The European Union's executive body is doubling down on its push for platforms to pre-filter the Internet, publishing a proposal today for all websites to monitor uploads in order to be able to quickly remove terrorist uploads. The Commission handed platforms an informal one-hour rule for removing terrorist content back in March. It's now proposing turning that into a law to prevent such content spreading its violent propaganda over the Internet. For now the'rule of thumb' regime continues to apply. But it's putting meat on the bones of its thinking, fleshing out a more expansive proposal for a regulation aimed at "preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online".
