SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for November 7, 2023 | SaltWireBRUSSELS - Video sharing app TikTok and social media platform X both need to step up their efforts to counter illegal hate speech, European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova said after meetings with their executives on Tuesday.
The tech giants have faced mounting scrutiny in the past month, with a surge in harmful content and disinformation in the wake of the attack on Israel on Oct. 7 by Hamas, which the EU considers to be a terrorist organisation. Under the European Union's Digital Services Act, which entered into force a year ago, very large tech platforms and search engines must do more to tackle harmful and illegal content or risk fines.
Jourova said on X and via her spokesperson that she was pleased by some improvements and urged TikTok to continue stepping up its work against illegal and harmful content and child abuse.
