The European Union's (EU) industry chief Thierry Breton said on Wednesday that he had asked social media platforms to prepare for the risk of Hamas live-streaming executions.
"As part of our interactions with the platforms, we have specifically asked them to prepare for the risk of live-streaming executions by Hamas – an imminent risk from which we must protect our citizens – and we are seeking assurances that the platforms are well prepared for such possibilities," Breton said in a speech at the European Parliament.
