Ireland's media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, has taken a firm stance by issuing a decision against Meta's Facebook, demanding measures to curb terrorist content dissemination. This follows similar moves against Meta's Instagram and other platforms, reinforcing their commitment to enforce EU regulations.
The enforcement of the pan-EU law on terrorist content takedowns mandates that social media platforms act promptly - within one hour of content being reported. Non-compliance could result in significant penalties, reaching up to 4% of a company's global annual revenue.
Coimisiún na Meán's role highlights the importance of regulatory oversight in the digital space, especially given that many tech giants have their regional headquarters in Ireland, leading to rigorous compliance expectations.
While specifics about the type of terrorist content reported on Facebook are not disclosed, the regulator emphasizes that multiple final removal orders can trigger heightened scrutiny under the EU's stringent online safety laws.
