    under orders and supervision from a judge and/or court of justice

    Are you sure? It’s not like that in Germany and the EU directive only asks for the possibility of judicial redress.

    Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure the prompt removal of online content constituting a public provocation to commit a terrorist offence, as referred to in Article 5, that is hosted in their territory.

    Measures of removal and blocking must be set following transparent procedures and provide adequate safeguards, in particular to ensure that those measures are limited to what is necessary and proportionate and that users are informed of the reason for those measures. Safeguards relating to removal or blocking shall also include the possibility of judicial redress.

    The police orders the removal in Germany, not a judge:

    Das Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) erlässt Anordnungen, nach denen die terroristischen Inhalte entfernt werden müssen.
