No longer the carrot, now the stick: the European Commission is considering imposing an hour-long deadline for social networks to remove terrorist and extremist content after voluntary measures appear to have failed. On pain of heavy fines, the social networks will need to detect and remove content such as videos, images, audio, and potentially live streams which promote or encourage extremism. EU security commissioner Julian King told the publication that not enough progress has been made to clamp down on terrorist content, and "we cannot afford to relax or become complacent in the face of such a shadowy and destructive phenomenon."The crackdown comes at the time when many technology vendors claim that automatic tools are handling the issue well. Google, for example, claims that 90 percent of terrorism-related content uploaded to YouTube is detected and removed automatically, according to the FT. However, a recent study from The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) suggests that ISIS content is still being uploaded and made available for hours afterward. Over a three-month period, 1,348 ISIS videos were uploaded to the platform, garnering more than 163,391 views.
