W Sweden entered into force on Wednesday the law ordering social platforms to remove announcements ordering killings and detonation of pay bombs.
The first specified government in the EU is intended to halt the recruitment of teenagers by drug gangs.
According to Swedish police, criminals usage TikTok and Snapchat, among others, and then reroute calls to encrypted services specified as Signal. In any cases, gang members took over net forums dedicated to computer thunder or football.
The fresh government imposes on owners of social platforms and communicators the work to remove, at the request of the police, controversial announcements "as shortly as possible", but at the latest 1 hr after notification. If this is not done on time, a fine of up to 5 million kronor (about €450 million) is threatened by the company.
