Google unveils changes before strict EU rules kick in

Google vowed Thursday to be more transparent about content moderation across its services, including its ubiquitous search engine, as tech firms rush to meet stricter European Union rules that kick in this week.

Sweeping rules will apply from Friday to Google, alongside 18 other large social media platforms and websites including Meta-owned Instagram, Twitter (rebranded as X) and TikTok, forcing the companies to better police content, or face the risk of billions of euros in fines.

Among the Google products listed were YouTube, Google Maps, Play, Search, and Shopping.

Auschwitz Memorial criticises Musk's X for not removing antisemitic content

The Auschwitz Memorial on Thursday criticised social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, for failing to remove an antisemitic post on the site.

X's owner Elon Musk has described himself as a free speech absolutist, but some critics have said his approach is irresponsible. Researchers have found an increase in hate speech and antisemitic content on the platform since he took over, and some governments have accused the company of not doing enough to moderate its content.

The EU is doing more — lots more

Think back to 2016, the year of Britain’s referendum. Remember the predictions that a leave vote would see the EU collapse under the weight of its intrusions into national affairs? Sovereigntists were on the march, the Brexiters declared. Brexit would beget Frexit and the whole house of cards would collapse. It was delusional stuff but tapped into a scepticism about European integration that reached beyond the UK.

And now? The little Englanders, it turns out, were right about one thing. The EU has changed profoundly during the past seven years. The forces, however, have been centripetal rather than centrifugal. Far from breaking up, the EU is doing more. Lots more.

Governments that were once jealous guardians of national competences have been shifting more decision-making to Brussels.
