France’s new cyberhate law will require Facebook and Twitter to remove racist content within 24 hours

As part of an ongoing effort to fight rising racism and anti-Semitism, the French government announced today that it will introduce new legislation requiring digital platforms to more swiftly remove offensive content.

In announcing details of the proposed law after months of review, French prime minister Edouard Philippe said France will move to adopt the cyberhate law immediately while also pressing the European Union to adopt a version of the same measures for all members. While only some of the details were revealed, the French proposal mirrors a German law that went into effect this year and threatens fines of up to €50 million ($62 million) if a social network does not take down content identified as hate speech within 24 hours.
