EU to give internet firms 1 hour to remove extremist content
2018-09-14
[ABCnews] European authorities are planning to slap internet companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook with big fines if they don't take down extremist content within one hour.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in a speech Wednesday that the Commission is proposing the new rules as part of efforts to step up the bloc's security.

He said that removing material within an hour is important because it's "the critical window in which the greatest damage is done."

#2  Proposed. Assuming Hungary, Poland, et al go along with it — that lot have been feeling a bit salty recently about the “migrant” bullying.
