I’m not sure though, because of this quote:

> In March, the EU's civil service published details of the current voluntary arrangement, which noted that "terrorist content is most harmful in the first hours of its appearance online".

This makes me think it may be timed from the upload, not the report.

Then that would basically mean that all content would have to be moderated in the EU, which would cripple forums and chat sites.

I can't even begin to imagine what repercussions that will have.
