Governance rules give more cyber power to the Europol

The European Parliaments civil liberties committee has approved new governance rules that give Europol new cyber powers to tackle down terrorists online. The new regulation gives more power to the Internet Referral Unit, which is in charge of destroying terrorist propaganda and extremist activities on the Internet. In January 2016, the director of Europol Rob Wainwright announced the opening of a new European counter-terrorism centre to fight the terrorism. The EU requests to the Europol to promptly respond to emerging threats, in particular to terrorist threats.”]
