European Commissioner Thierry Breton warned Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday that failing to remove pro-Hamas could violate the Digital Services Act.
European Commissioner Thierry Breton warned Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday that failing to remove pro-Hamas content across his platforms could put the company in violation of new EU moderation regulations. In a letter to Zuckerberg Wednesday, Breton urged Meta “to be very vigilant” in removing illegal terrorist content and hate speech amid the ongoing war in Israel.
“Needless to say, I also expect you to be in contact with the relevant law enforcement authorities and Europol, and ensure that you respond promptly to any requests.” Breton asked that Zuckerberg respond to the EU’s concerns within the next 24 hours. On Tuesday, Breton wrote to Elon Musk warning him that X, formerly Twitter, was being used to share similarly illegal content. Breton noted that some of this content was flagged to the company by “relevant authorities” but remained on the site.
