The EU gave an ultimatum to Facebook and Google about hate speech – The Verge
The European Union is once again asking Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other web companies to crack down on hate speech and speech inciting violence and terrorism but this time, its taking things a step further. The European Commission has issued guidelines for web companies to follow, and its warning the companies that, if they dont comply, the Commission may pass legislation. And that legislation, of course, could lead to some huge fines.There are a handful of guidelines so far. The Commission recommends that web companies appoint a dedicated point of contact, who law enforcement can contact when illegal content is discovered. It wants web companies to allow third-party trusted flaggers with specific expertise in identifying illegal content to come in and monitor potentially illegal posts. And it asks web companies to invest in technologies that can automatically detect potentially illegal posts and speech.
