Tech firms must improve to remove terror content.
Theresa May will address the United Nations telling them that technology companies must go further to help with the removal of extremist content.
But perhaps the time for rhetoric is coming to an end and we should follow the lead of Germany where they are introducing a law where technology firms must remove material within 24 hours or face a fine of up to 50 million Euros.
Whilst Google is backing counter terrorism projects in the UK, it is improvements in their content editing that is required. I am sure that the German model of telling the Tech firm they must do it or face the fine will work, but it’s not without its down side; many of the posts it will be asked to take down will fall under ‘free Speech’ rather than terrorism. If the Tech company is faced with a fine of 50 million Euros I think it will remove the content immediately rather than question the contents suitability.
The short-term goal is to remove content within a couple of hours and progress is being made on artificial intelligence solutions to identify and remove content whenever it’s posted.
Tech companies already spend 100’s of millions of dollars on this problem, with a company like YouTube receiving over 200,000 content complaints per day. Even so, technology companies did come in for criticism following the London Bridge terror attack and it highlighted the need for improvements as the internet is still a ‘safe place’ for terrorists, and the extremists that preach such hatred and evil that ultimately is the cause of terrorism.
The G7 will discuss progress at the end of October giving internet companies a month to prove they are dealing with this problem – perhaps the threat of a 50 million euro fine each time will do the trick!
