The end of terrorist content online?

Korte inhoud:Over time, the EU has taken several initiatives to tackle terrorist content, in addition to its historically well-developed counter terrorism criminal policy. While notice and voluntary take-down procedures for malicious terrorist content online have for years been facilitated and initiated by the Europol-based EU Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU) and the network of Member State level IRUs, the EU has decided to introduce a more compelling system upon providers offering services in the EU. The Terrorist Content Online Regulation, adopted mid-2021, grants the Member States’ competent authorities the power to issue removal orders to service providers, requiring them to remove terrorist content or disable access to it in all Member States. While its objective may be justified, its impact on the right to free speech is undeniable.
