Uniunea Europeană va sancţiona platformele online care difuzează execuţia în direct a americanului Nidal Hasan, condamnat la moarte pentru uciderea a 13 persoane în 2013

The EU has warned online platforms against broadcasting the execution of former US military psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, scheduled for December 3. Hasan was sentenced to death for a 2009 shooting that killed 13 people. The Pentagon initially indicated the execution would be streamed live, but later statements were less definitive. The EU emphasized that platforms must adhere to their own rules regarding content, with specific prohibitions on broadcasting capital punishment. The European Commission highlighted the Digital Services Regulation, which could be enforced if platforms fail to comply with their guidelines. The US government has criticized EU regulations as censorship.
