12:16 pm
illegal and harmful content from their platforms. the regulation will also ban advertising aimed at children or based on sensitive data such as religion, gender, and race. the companies could face hefty fines for violating the new rules. now, under the new regulations, governments can request companies remove content that promotes terrorism, child sexual abuse, and commercial scans. social media platforms such as facebook and twitter, we'll have to make it easier for users to fac, harmful content. and i'll also apply to e commerce companies, such as amazon for counterfeit or unsafe products companies will be banned from using deceptive techniques. for sign up for services, repeated breaches could see them banned for trade from trading in the well, i speak to adrian. we're clear about this. he joins us from island, his tech editor of the irish independent. thank you, adrian for being with us. so what do you make of this law? the digital service act? it's called will it get large tech companies to clean up their platforms of harmful
12:17 pm
content? yes, it will slightly because the european union has now become the world's internet regulator. and this is a collection of new rules and regulations, but as you say, will actually force them to clean off some of the rock. i mean, some of the measures here are very versed stansell and it shouldn't be underestimated, but it's a 6 percent of global revenue. fine if they don't complain about would be billions and billions of dollars non profit or revenue. so the idea behind this digital service is essentially to make the internet safer, particularly for kids, but also for the rest of us using it on a day to day basis. often we don't know how to get her there are profiles, haven't i got retired decisions, all of that should become a lot clearer. ok, you say this is meant to make the internet safer for kids and, and for the rest of us. but as i understand under these new regulations, gov men, scant can also request that companies remove content that promote terrorism. for
12:18 pm
example, ah, you know, could that be problematic when it comes to 2 issues of free speech? right? yes, it could in certain circumstances, given the death and breath of the countries in the european union, they tend to take a different approach when it comes to the balance between security and freedom of speech. for example, we see long last wants to buy twitter at the moment. the reason he wants to buy twitter, he says, is for more free speech unless content moderation. and he might have a different view on what should be allowed as an opinion to say somebody in eastern europe or southern europe or western europe or northern europe, are effectively the rest of the world. they're going to be some very interesting test case here as to what is allowed for from different lobby groups, different political parties. and there is going to be a lot of attention there. right. and i was going to ask you about the challenges. what will be the challenges in implementing this law and,
12:19 pm
and can companies diminish laws impact through through courts? the biggest challenge, ultimately, in the long term, is our own inability to agree with ourselves what the edge cases are for what is offensive, what is hate speech? what is dis, information? what is unacceptable? in germany, for example, they are very, very tight laws on discussing the 2nd world war, the holocaust and they're much, much treasure than they are in some other countries. it's going to be very interesting to see how those laws, for example, are negotiated through this new digital services. so ultimately, this is going to be something that will have to settle down over the next 5 to 10 years, right? i was going to ask you about whether you think this could be adopted globally. i mean, we have the digital services act. what we also have, are you the digital markets at which your european lawmakers agreed on in,
12:20 pm
in march to, to curve the dominance of big tech companies. these various legislation certainly seem to be cementing europe's leadership as the most assertive regulator big tag. and, but the question is, do they raised the bar and, and will it be adopted globally? so to questions, does it raise the bar? yes, it raises the bar. i know from talking to executives, both facebook tick tock and twitter, google, most of which are based here in dublin, in ireland that they take this very seriously. they're adding hundreds of people to their teams, from a regulatory on a moderation point of view to deal with laws like this. it will also probably have a global impact in so far as these giant tech platforms are not going to implement these rules just for the european union. they're going to start applying it to other territories around the world, even if the laws and regulations of those territories don't necessarily go as far
12:21 pm
