CEPA: Tech Must Fight Terrorist Hate Speech
CEP Senior Advisor Lucinda Creighton interviewed: "Europe’s terrorist content bill came into effect just two months ago and represents a positive step forward.

The bill is not a vague catchall like hate speech legislation, which is subjective, open to misinterpretation, and raises legitimate freedom of expression concerns. This terrorist content law defines what type of videos and other content are considered to be terrorist. It is explicit. Bomb-making videos, for example, are forbidden. These videos are not a reasonable expression of speech – they are designed for malign purposes. Under the new European law, police notifications to remove such content are binding."
