Regulation (EU) 2021/784 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2021 on addressing the dissemination of terrorist content online (Text with EEA relevance)
This policy document, seemingly of European Union origin given the references to the "Official Journal of the European Union," and the identification of the European Parliament and the Council as originating bodies, appears to outline a set of regulations spanning multiple articles (Article 1 through Article 24). The document also includes Annexes I, II, and III. Specific legal principles "force majeure," "de facto," and "ne bis in idem" are mentioned, suggesting the policy likely addresses situations involving unavoidable circumstances, factual realities, and the principle of not being tried twice for the same offense, respectively. The document designates a President representing both the European Parliament and the Council. Further analysis would require access to the full content of each article and annex to determine the precise subject matter and scope of the policy.
