EU OKs law to make tech companies take down terrorist content in less than an hour
SHARE
The European Union announced today that it has approved a law to require technology platforms to flag and take down terrorist-related within one hour or face hefty fines.
“The new regulation will target content such as texts, images, sound recordings or videos, including live transmissions, that incite, solicit or contribute to terrorist offenses, provide instructions for such offenses or solicit people to participate in a terrorist group,” the EU said in a press release.
It won’t happen immediately, since the law first must be written into the EU’s official journal. It will then be applied 12 months after the entry, and subsequently, each member will have to adopt it.
WASHINGTON (AP) â A wary Supreme Court on Wednesday weighed whether public schools can discipline students for things they say off campus, worrying about overly restricting speech on the one hand and leaving educators powerless to deal with bullying on the other.
The justices, hearing arguments in the case of a 14-year-old high school freshmanâs Snapchat F-bombs, struggled to fit the need to protect studentsâ political and religious expression with the ability of schools to get at disruptive, even potentially dangerous, speech that occurs outside the school setting.
In one of many examples members of the court offered, Justice Elena Kagan described boys who keep a sexually charged online ranking of girls based on their looks. âYou canât put people in jail for commenting on peopleâs appearance, but shouldnât a school be able to deal with it?â Kagan asked.
