LinkedIn has announced that it has formally signed up to the European Commission’s Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech Online
Lexis®Library update: According to the Commission, the implementation of the code is ‘evaluated through a regular monitoring exercise set up in collaboration with a network of organisations located in the different EU countries. Using a commonly agreed methodology, these organisations test how the IT companies are implementing the commitments in the code’.

LinkedIn is the latest tech company to join the code. Instagram, Snapchat and Dailymotion all signed up to the code during 2018, Jeuxvideo.com in January 2019, and TikTok joined in September 2020.
