The Centre on Regulation in Europe (CERRE) published a paper on combating terrorism marketing by Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Read the announcement Systemic Risk in Digital Services: Benchmarks for Evaluating Management of Risk of Terrorist Content Dissemination.
