Social media and messaging apps have become the best way to communicate, not only with our friends and family, but also with other people that our publications can reach. This type of platform has also become the communication platforms of extremist groups.
Despite the fact that the European Union hadn't really messed with the durability of this type of content In the different platforms where it has appeared, leaving them to regulate themselves autonomously, it seems that the results they are obtaining are not being to their liking and they have gotten down to work so that they are eliminated in the shortest possible time.
As we can read in The Financial Times, the European Union is working on a draft that, again, will threaten Hefty fines to all those platforms and websites that do not eliminate the extremist content published before one hour after being published, which will force all platforms to control at all times and almost in real time all the content that is uploaded, written, published ... including images and videos.
Without going further. The amount of content that is uploaded to both YouTube and Facebook every hour is so high that both companies will have to create new algorithms to automatically detect all this type of content, whenever possible, or they will have to change the the way they work, without allowing us to post videos immediately until it has been reviewed by human personnel.
In addition, the review of all content, it would mean millionaire investments for companies that they are not willing to do, despite the fact that some of them already make use of artificial intelligence to detect this type of content, but they are tools that are not available to everyone and are not 100% perfect.
