The EU Internet Forum (EUIF), launched in 2015 and led by the European Commission, brings together EU Member States, law enforcement (notably Europol’s EU IRU), tech companies, and selected experts/research projects to enhance voluntary cooperation in detecting and removing terrorist and violent extremist content online, as a complement to the Terrorist Content Online Regulation.
