From the BBC
The European Commission is planning to order websites to delete extremist content on their sites within an hour to avoid the risk of being fined.
The regulation would affect Twitter, Facebook and YouTube among others.
The crackdown would lead to the EU abandoning its current approach - where the firms self-police - in favour of explicit rules.
The shake-up comes in the wake of high-profile terror attacks across Europe over the past few years.
Julian King, the EU's commissioner for security, told the Financial Times that the EU would "take stronger action in order to protect our citizens".
The BBC has confirmed the details of the report.
COMMENT:-
Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are **A*M*E*R*I*C*A*N** companies and The Socialist Hordes Of Europe are threatening to prosecute **A*M*E*R*I*C*A*N** companies for exercising their **A*M*E*R*I*C*A*N** constitutional rights.
This is totally intolerable and Mr. Trump should do something about this flagrant violation of **A*M*E*R*I*C*A*N** law.
A good first step would be a total embargo on all European products and a total ban on all sales to Europe (anyone selling [or even attempting to sell] to Europe is, obviously, a traitor and should be punished accordingly).
The real test of Free Speech is whether you defend even the right of others to say things which you find offensive.
Right?
Social media faces EU fine if terror lingers for an hour
