BRUSSELS:
Europe’s justice commissioner told Facebook, Twitter and Google  on Thursday to do more to bring their user terms in line with EU law, saying proposals submitted by the tech giants were considered insufficient.

The authorities across the bloc, who requested the changes last year, have the power to issue fines if the companies fail to comply.
