UK's May urges internet firms to remove extremist content quicker
British Prime Minister Theresa May urged social media companies on Wednesday to more swiftly remove "terrorist content" from the internet, with the aim of stopping it from being uploaded in the first place.
"The tech companies have made significant progress on this issue, but we need to go further and faster to reduce the time it takes to remove terrorist content online," May said in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly of world leaders in New York.
She said there was a need "to increase significantly the efforts to stop (extremist content) being uploaded in the first place."
