In March, European Union officials warned tech companies that they weren't doing enough to curb the spread of terrorist content and gave them a list of demands. Apparently, their response didn’t cut it. On Wednesday, the EU published details of how the bloc will seek to make these recommendations obligatory. Hany Farid, a digital forensics expert at Dartmouth University and senior adviser to the Counter Extremism Project, said that the tech giants are still not doing enough, and that the legislation doesn’t go far enough to force them to solve that problem. “The dragging of their feet for the last three, four, five years is particularly offensive given that we had already solved this problem in the child pornography space,” he said. “It wasn't that they couldn't do it — they honestly didn't want to do it.” Farid believes the new legislation should make it mandatory for companies to prevent this reuploading of content. “If you don't want to play the whack-a-mole problem with this content and with these groups, once it has been identified, you should say this must be entered into your hashing database — which the tech companies claim to have.”
