On Wednesday, the Parliament adopted the regulation on addressing the dissemination of terrorist content online. The regulation aims to set out the parameters on content removal and the liability of service providers.
The Greens/EFA Group criticized the regulation due the impact on SMEs with the threat of fines, the lack of independent removal authorities and the excessively wide-reaching cross border removal orders. Protection of the fundamental rights of free speech and media freedom remain a priority. Therefore, the Greens/EFA Group voted against the regulation.
