Extremist and terrorist content online
There is widespread coverage of the Home Secretary’s comments on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show and Sky's Sophy Ridge Show yesterday in which she said that it was “completely unacceptable” for internet companies to host extremist content on their platforms and for terrorists to be able to use encrypted communications. The papers report that she called on companies to work with the Government to make sure that the intelligence services are able to access such communications in a legal way. They quote the Home Secretary saying that "there should be no place for terrorists to hide".
The Home Secretary wrote in the Sunday Telegraph yesterday about the need for social media companies to take a more proactive and leading role in tackling the terrorist abuse of their platforms. Today's Times splashes on news that Daesh are using YouTube to host propaganda and recruitment videos referring to last week's attack.
