TikTok, X, and Instagram Face EU Scrutiny for Terrorist Content Exposure
The media regulator An Coimisiún na Meán has determined that TikTok, X, and Instagram are ‘exposed to terrorist content’ following EU removal orders. In compliance with the Terrorist Content Online Regulation, these platforms must implement measures to prevent the distribution of terrorist materials and report their compliance efforts. This includes updating their terms of service to address misuse. Failure to comply may result in significant fines, potentially reaching four percent of their global revenue, highlighting the heightened scrutiny on social media platforms regarding online safety.
