The warning mirrored previous cautions to Elon Musk, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and TikTok’s Shou Zi Chew.
Commissioner Thierry Breton’s letter to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai urged compliance with the European Union’s Digital Services Act.
In the latest in a series of messages to tech chief executive officers that has already seen him sparring with Elon Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter, the EU industry commissioner wrote to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. “Following the terrorist acts carried out by Hamas against Israel, we are seeing a surge of illegal content and disinformation being disseminated in the EU via certain platforms”, Breton wrote.
Breton noted that YouTube in particular is used by many children and teenagers and warned that Google thus has a special responsibility to protect users from propaganda and violent or harmful images.
