Gardaí issued a removal order last year directing a social media giant to take down terrorist content on its platform. It is the first removal order under the EU terrorist content online regulation, which came into effect in Ireland in 2024. Now An Garda Síochána has published a report confirming it issued a removal order against a platform for hosting terrorist content. The Garda terrorist content online regulation transparency report 2025 states: “An Garda Síochána issued one removal order in 2025. Following the issuing of the removal order, the content was taken down.”The report said they were the competent authority for terrorist content removal orders and that Coimisiún na Meán is the relevant body for regulation.
