Social Media Giants Step Up Joint Fight Against Extremist Content (reuters.com)

Social media giants Facebook, Google's YouTube, Twitter and Microsoft said on Monday they were forming a global working group to combine their efforts to remove terrorist content from their platforms. From a report: Responding to pressure from governments in Europe and the United States after a spate of militant attacks, the companies said they would share technical solutions for removing terrorist content, commission research to inform their counter-speech efforts and work more with counter-terrorism experts. The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism "will formalize and structure existing and future areas of collaboration between our companies and foster cooperation with smaller tech companies, civil society groups and academics, governments and supra-national bodies such as the EU and the UN," the companies said in a statement.

And they'll need to explain the difference between terrorist and freedom fighter/revolutionary/protester.

How do so few people have access to a dictionary?

terrorism
: the unlawful use or threat of violence especially against the state or the public as a politically motivated means of attack or coercion

freedom fighter
: a person who takes part in a resistance movement against an oppressive political or social establishment

protest
: a complaint, objection, or display of unwillingness usually to an idea or a course of action
