Google, Facebook, TikTok and others face one of the most far-reaching efforts to clean up what EU residents see online.

    The problem is usually in the broadness of the definition. Less democratic regimes can easily use this to forbid material about opposing views and parties. Double-edged sword.

      I think the problem is that social media has been used for great evil so an attempt to curb that is good.

        At least it’s a democratic body. Way better than Musk being in capricious control of deleting speech rights.
