Require social media companies to remove extremist content within one hour

Any future Online Harms Bill should ensure that companies in the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism commit to reviewing all extremist content within one hour of it being reported. This is happening in France to achieve the removal of terrorist content online.

The UK Government wishes for this country to be the safest place in the world to go online and the recent delay of introducing an Online Harms Bill allows for this bill to go even further in terms of removing extremist content online. By making these sites committed to the removal of content, parents would feel safe that their children are protected against extremist content to ensure nothing slips through the net. Internet safety is extremely important and this proposal can help strengthen this.
