No More Free Speech!
Facebook and Twitter promise to crack down on internet hate speech
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft have promised a crackdown on hate speech, signing up to new EU rules that require them to delete the majority of offending comments within 24 hours.
The four internet giants have agreed a code of conduct with the European Commission that binds them to removing the majority of reported illegal hate speech within 24 hours.
Online companies have been under pressure to do more to deal with abusive speech amid the refugee crisis and fears that social media is being used as a recruiting ground for terrorists.
