EU Platforms Failed to Remove Racist Content, Deepfakes, and Antisemitic Video at Scale

The eu platforms removed content below their own thresholds. the platforms set the thresholds. the removal rate is documented in compliance reports submitted by the platforms. the numbers show failure against standards the platforms wrote.

this pattern repeats across regulation. the regulated entity defines the metric. the regulated entity reports the metric. the regulatory body receives the report. the metric is adequate or it is not, but the metric was never independent. this is how compliance scales.

the platforms will adjust their thresholds next quarter. compliance will improve. the content will remain.
