Fighting Extremism And Terrorism On Social Media Platforms: The Possibilities And Limitations Of The EU’s Digital Services Act
An Event Hosted by CEP and the DGAP
(New York, N.Y. / Berlin) – The German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) and the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) cordially invite you to a hybrid panel discussion:
“Fighting Extremism And Terrorism On Social Media Platforms: The Possibilities And Limitations Of The EU’s Digital Services Act”
On November 16, the EU’s long-awaited Digital Services Act (DSA) came into force. It aims to curb the spread of online hate speech, disinformation and extremist and terrorist content with which democratic societies are increasingly confronted.
At this event, we will explore the implications of the DSA combating extremism on social media platforms. How will it affect existing national regulations such as Germany’s Network Enforcement Act (Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz (NetzDG))? How will the new legislation impact the technological aspects of the fight against online extremism? How is extremist infrastructure adapting online in the face of regulation? We look forward to discussing these and further questions with you.
