The new rules, announced Tuesday by the European Commission, the EU Commissioners for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality pointed out the need for increased monitoring following the spate of terror attacks that have rocked Europe. “The recent terror attacks have reminded us of the urgent need to address illegal online hate speech,” said Vera Jourova in a statement.

“Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalize young people, and racists use to spread violence and hatred. This agreement is an important step forward to ensure that the internet remains a place of free and democratic expression, where European values and laws are respected.”

We are pleased to work with the Commission to develop co- and self-regulatory approaches to fighting hate speech online.”
