It is generally but rightly said that while everyone understands what terrorism is, no one has agreed on its definition yet. The scenario is no different when it comes to the issue of online terrorist content. The ambit and the scope of legal definition pertaining to the terrorist organization online has always been an issue for the European Union Member States. With the increasing frequency of online terrorist content and their changing spectrums has made this task for the jurists a bit difficult and hard nut to crack. There was always a need to not only analyze the issues that the EU Member States face in defining the ambit of it, but it seemed quite necessary that the scope of those provisions which pertains to the distribution of terrorist content online much be re-defined or at least defined. The legal framework that has been taken into account has somehow served the purpose in this regard. However, holistic efforts are required in this regard. On the similar account, the surveillance of the online terrorist content in European Union is needed to be tighten up. For that, this study assessed the ways in which the EU Member States are monitoring and handling online terrorist content and related issues in the region. In this regard, number of commissions under the ambit of European Union and other working under national authorities have shown significant work.

The weaknesses and strengths of the European Union Members States to counter online terrorist content is of grave concern. There is need to present and evaluate the EU Member States’ strategies regarding online terror related content. Analysis can be made over case studies of France and Germany. The study moves forward by assessing and evaluating the remedial measures in this regard as well. The major focus is based upon assessing the remedies and complaint procedures to address the distribution of terrorist content online under the Regulation (EU) 2021/784. Similarly, an effort has been made to explore the current implementation status and hurdles regarding the Regulation (EU) 2021/784. Lastly, the analysis could only be cemented through recommending reforms at administrative and legislative level in the EU for efficient mitigation of online terrorism and associated threats. It is need of hour to enact such laws, statutes and regulations that not only accurately defines the illegal or terrorist content but also enables the Internet Services Providers to have clear litmus test for such content along with the authority to be given to the Internet Services Providers and other regulatory authorities to struck down content falling under the criterion set for the online terrorist conten
