On 4 June 2025, the LIBE Committee will host a public hearing on Radicalisation online, with a focus on the recruitment of children for organised crime and terrorism. The hearing will look at online radicalisation, including the role of social media and messaging services.
It will consider the implementation of the Regulation against the dissemination of terrorist content online, the role of Europol and provide an overview on preventive measures taken to reduce and protect minors (especially vulnerable minors) from radicalisation and recruitment into criminal activities, taking into account the use of streaming services and gaming platforms by terrorist and criminal organisations.
Representatives of the Commission, Europol, the EU Knowledge Hub on Preventing Radicalisation as well as a Researcher from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention and a Full Professor in criminal law with relevant expertise in online radicalisation will intervene.
