EU Signals Twitter Must Improve Content Moderation to Comply With New Digital Laws

  • Twitter needs to do more to moderate content to comply with the EU's Digital Services Act according to EU Commissioner Thierry Breton.
  • Breton oversaw a review of Twitter's content moderation systems at its headquarters.
  • The Digital Services Act will require companies to address hate speech, disinformation and other harmful content on their platforms.
  • The law goes into effect August 25 for large companies and violations can result in fines up to 6% of global revenue or bans from operating in the EU.
  • Twitter says it is taking the exercise seriously and will focus on key areas to meet the law's requirements.
