Several Commissioners will meet tomorrow in Brussels with representatives of online platforms to discuss progress made in tackling the spread of illegal content online, including online terrorist
propaganda and xenophobic, racist or hate speech as well as breaches of intellectual property rights. The meeting will be a good opportunity for a frank and open exchange about progress made and
lessons learned. Vice-President Andrus Ansip, Commissioners Dimitris Avramopoulos, Elżbieta Bieńkowska, Věra Jourová, Julian
King and Mariya Gabriel issued a joint statement ahead of the meeting, saying: “The Commission is counting on online platforms to step up and speed up
their efforts to tackle these threats quickly and comprehensively, including closer cooperation with national and enforcement authorities, increased sharing of know-how between online players and
further action against the reappearance of illegal content. We will continue to promote cooperation with social media companies to detect and remove terrorist and other illegal content online, and
if necessary, propose legislation to complement the existing regulatory framework.” The full statement is available here.
Tomorrow’s meeting follows the Commission guidelines and principles for online platforms
presented in September 2017 to increase the prevention, detection and removal of illegal content online. Further details are available here.
