Meta, Elon Musk’s X, Google’s YouTube, and other leading tech companies have committed to intensifying their efforts to combat online hate speech.

The pledge aligns with the enhanced provisions of the European Union’s updated code of conduct, which was now integrated into the EU tech regulations, the European Commission announced on Monday.

These companies, along with other participants like Dailymotion, Instagram, Jeuxvideo.com, LinkedIn, Microsoft’s consumer services, Snapchat, Rakuten Viber, TikTok, and Twitch, originally joined the voluntary code in May 2016.

Henna Virkkunen, the EU Tech Commissioner, approved: “In Europe, there is no room for illegal hate, be it offline or online. I commend the stakeholders’ dedication to reinforcing the Code of Conduct under the Digital Services Act (DSA).”

"The DSA does not censor content. It creates efficient mechanism for the removal of illegal content defined by other EU or national law,such as illegal hate speech.Because what is illegal offline is also illegal online"@HennaVirkkunen –#DSA debate

The DSA mandates that tech companies enhance their measures against illegal and harmful content. Adherence to this updated code could influence how EU officials enforce the Act.

Under the new guidelines, these tech firms have agreed to allow non-profit or public entities with expertise in identifying illegal hate speech to oversee how they process reports of hate speech. They aim to review at least two-thirds of these notices within 24 hours.

Additionally, the companies will implement strategies like automatic detection tools to diminish hate speech on their platforms. They will also disclose information about the influence of recommendation systems and the organic and algorithmic spread of illegal content before its removal.

Moreover, they will provide country-specific data, categorized by the internal classification of hate speech, including race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
