Summary/Abstract: In December 2020, the European Commission adopted the Counter-Terrorism Agenda. It enhances coordination of counter-terrorism activities at the EU level and assumes a strengthening of the competences of Union bodies, such as Europol. Although the document properly identifies threats, controversy has arisen over the rules under which states should remove hate speech and terrorist content from the internet. An additional challenge is how to increase the effectiveness of preventing social radicalisation.
