Social media should have 1 hour to remove terror propaganda: EU 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe European Union proposed steps Wednesday to compel social media and websites to remove “terrorist” propaganda within an hour of receiving the order from authorities. If they do not, companies such as Facebook and Twitter will risk massive fines under the legislation mooted by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. “Member States will have to put in place effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties for not complying with orders to remove online terrorist content,” the commission said. “While we have made progress on removing terrorist content online through voluntary efforts, it has not been enough,” EU Security Commissioner Julian King said in a statement.
