Cameron calls for removal of IS propaganda from internet

  • Cameron calls for removal of IS propaganda from internet
British Prime Minister David Cameron Friday called on governments and internet companies to do more to remove from the web the propaganda of the Islamic State (IS) Sunni radical organisation.
 
Addressing the Australian parliament, Cameron praised Australia's tough stance on the issue of foreign fighters joining IS extremists in Iraq and Syria and foreshadowed his own new counter-terror legislation, such as banning extremist preachers, to be introduced in Britain, much of which matches Australia's plans.
 
But he said a "new pressing challenge" was getting IS material wiped from internet, the Canberra Times reported.
 
"There is a role for government in that, we must not allow the internet to be ungoverned space but there is a role for the internet companies too," Cameron told MPs and senators in Canberra.
 
He said he expected internet companies to live up to their "social responsibilities" and said, while progress had been made, there was more to do.
