(Euronews) Authorities in six European countries have conducted a joint operation to remove extremist content and propaganda on SoundCloud.
The European Union’s law enforcement agency Europol said on Friday that hundreds of illegal files had been removed from the German music streaming platform.
The investigation was led by Germany’s Federal Police Office, alongside authorities in Denmark, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
German authorities said they had flagged around 1,100 profiles and audio files on SoundCloud between May 5 and 13.
This included “jihadist chants in several languages as well as audio fragments promoting violent and right-wing extremist groups.”
