Register Now: CEP Webinar On Terrorist Content Online Regulation In The EU And
Lessons Learned From Germany’s NetzDG Law

 

(Berlin) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) invites you to join us in a May
6 webinar discussion about European regulation of extremist and terrorist
content online.

 

The European Union and its member states have worked to propose new online
content moderation laws given the tech industry’s continued inability to
prevent the upload and re-upload of extremist material from their sites. The EU
is currently considering its Terrorist Content Online (TCO) regulation, which
focuses specifically on the issue of terrorism online, as well as the broader
Digital Services Act (DSA). At the national level, German lawmakers are
debating amendments to the Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG), which in its
current form, requires online platforms to remove illegal content within 24
hours of notification.

 

This webinar will focus on the objective and implications of such regulation
and legislation and the status quo of the discussions surrounding them. It will
also address critical issues like automated content moderation (e.g. upload
filters) and the need for comprehensive transparency across social media
platforms.

 

The webinar will be conducted in English.

Date:

Wednesday, May 6, 2020

Time:

10:00 a.m. EDT / 4:00 p.m. CEST

Speakers:

Yolanda Gallego-Casilda Grau, Head of the Prevention of Radicalisation Unit in
DG Migration and Home Affairs (DG HOME)

 

Roderik De Turck, Policy Advisor for MEP Kris Peeters (member of the Committee
on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, European Parliament)

 

Alexander Ritzmann, CEP Senior Advisor, lead on the internet regulation/NetzDG

Moderator:

Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, CEP Senior Director
