euronetPol
euronetPol is an agency set up in 2009 to monitor social media sites for material that is seen to endorse or promote terror.

Its remit also includes hate speech, particularly with regard to matters of race, gender, sexuality and sectarianism.

It is estimated that its work has led to nearly 3000 prosecutions since 2009. The number of prosecutions each year has risen from 300 in 2009 to over 1000 in 2013. There have been 700 prosecutions in the UK.

Every country in the Eurozone has signed up to euronetPol.

STRUCTURE

Little has been made public about the structure of the agency. Its operatives are thought to sift through social media sites in every region targeting key words. Information may then be passed on to local law enforcement agencies for investigation or further action.
