In a joint effort to combat organized crime, the justice ministers of Sweden and Denmark have announced plans to pressure tech giants to take more responsibility for illegal activities on their platforms.

This comes amid rising concerns over gang violence, with Swedish children reportedly being recruited for criminal acts in Denmark.

The ministers emphasized the need for enhanced cooperation between the two countries, particularly in tackling the digital infrastructure used for recruiting young gang members.

Experts, however, highlight the challenges tech companies face in identifying illegal content, as new slang and expressions constantly evolve.

While platforms like Snapchat have expressed willingness to cooperate, the effectiveness of these measures remains to be seen.

The initiative builds on existing Nordic agreements to strengthen cross-border police collaboration, aiming to curb the influence of organized crime in the region.
