The deadline for deleting illegal content discussed in the European Parliament will not come. The European Parliament’s rapporteur for the Digital Services Act, Christel Schaldemose (S&D), had proposed an obligation for online platforms to remove illegal content within 24 hours if it posed a threat to public safety or health. This has since been taken off the table, Schaldemose said, as she had not found support for it. „I will not propose specific deadlines for removal.“
