EU, tech giants boost cooperation on fighting online hate
European justice ministers and tech giants Google’s and Meta agreed on Friday that a clear legal framework was needed to step up cooperation against online hate, France’s justice minister said.
Social media and online platforms face a raft of legislative proposals on both sides of the Atlantic that will require them to do more to counter online hate speech and disinformation.
In the EU, the Digital Services Act would force tech giants to do more to tackle illegal content on their platforms, with fines of up to 6per cent of global turnover for non-compliance.
“It is high time that we adopt an EU legislation so that platforms don’t have the last word,” said Eric Dupond-Moretti, who was hosting the meeting in the northern France city of Lille. “We need a clear, precise framework that respects freedom of speech.”
Google’s chief legal counsel Kent Walker, who took part in the meeting, told Reuters in an emailed comment that the company welcomed the EU’s plans to facilitate the sharing of digital evidence.
