BRUSSELS: A top EU official for digital policy warned Monday that big tech companies could face tougher rules and penalties in Europe if they failed to adequately curb hate speech and disinformation.
But Breton, who leads up EU digital policy along with Commission Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager, warned that new legislation by the end of the year could be much tougher on big tech. In the meetings, the founder of the world’s biggest social media network that also owns Instagram and Whatsapp emphasised the importance of better controlling hate speech and disinformation on platforms – but without muzzling free speech.
“Publisher liability laws that punish the publication of illegal speech are unsuitable for the internet landscape,” the paper said. Zuckerberg came to EU headquarters as Brussels prepares to unveil a highly anticipated strategy to regulate artificial intelligence.
