There are clear words with which four state media outlets are raising the alarm: the platforms Facebook, Twitter and Google would not comply with the commitments they have made to the European Union. In a confidential monitoring for the EU Commission, which is available from NDR and WDR , the media institutions therefore recommend more extensive regulatory measures for social networks.
The previous self-regulation of the platforms was "neither effective nor proportionate", says the report. One could "speak of a system failure", says Tobias Schmid, director of the State Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia (LfM).
