Human rights advocates warn that government attempts to regulate the internet could threaten freedom of expression and that efforts to address online extremist content must be consistent with international human rights norms. “Using a combination of technology and human review, we work aggressively to remove terrorist content from our platform as soon as we become aware of it,” according to Facebook.
In response, some tech companies defended their efforts to identify and remove extremist content. May said she plans to pursue international agreements to regulate cyberspace and criticized internet companies for providing “safe spaces” that allow extremists to communicate.Īdding to May’s comments, UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the government wanted tech companies to do more to take down extremist content and to limit access to end-to-end encryption. In response to the most recent terror attack in London, UK Prime Minister Theresa May is callingfor tighter internet regulations in order to combat terrorism.
