The prime minister is to call on investors to boycott social media platforms that do not delete and censor perceived “extremist” views. Speaking at the Davos World Economic Forum, Theresa May will argue that not enough is being done to fight terrorism and paedophiles online.
However, right-wing opinions are already frequently censored on social media and other schemes championed by Mrs. May, such as the Prevent count-terror programme, have been used to target critics of Islam and members of UKIP.
“Technology companies still need to go further in stepping up to their responsibilities for dealing with harmful and illegal online activity,” the prime minister will say according to advance extracts of her speech.
“These companies simply cannot stand by while their platforms are used to facilitate child abuse, modern slavery, or the spreading of terrorist and extremist content.”

I think Mz May is at her wit’s end, frankly. Bring on the Mogg!
Uh, WUT? was that terry?
I think Theresa May’s position is pretty “extreme”. It should be the first example.
‘I can’t define extremism, but I know it when I see it.’
I REALLY despise the Twin Bitches of Teresa May and Angela Merkel.
Fine, as long as I am the one who decides what is “extremist”.
Will you agree with that Ms. May?
I thought so.
Yeah well Theresa May can go *** herself. Cuz I doubt anybody else wants to.
The utter decline and drop in Morality and Sensibility continues across Western Europe.
Thuggy ‘elites’ have always hated free speech... well actually any speech of the common people who might not buy into their bullsh^t.
Wasn’t there some discussion about how they couldn’t get a specific definition of “hate speech” a while back?
Censorship of your electoral opponents is reprehensible enough. Outsourcing censorship to faceless, unaccountable bureaucrats... beyond tyrannical.
Britain, I fear, is lost.
Mizz May, seems you are a person a lot like Hitler.
Well, her view seems very extreme.
Preceived by whom?
As they say in Ireland, “F*#k the bloody English.”
“The prime minister is to call on investors to boycott social media platforms that do not delete and censor perceived “extremist” views.”
Oh do bugger of you virago.
Ireland’s gone too.
“Britain, I fear, is lost.”
And to think Churchill...may he rest in peace...thought Hitler was Britain’s biggest threat. Can’t wait til they really get in trouble again and come begging us for guns so we can tell them to pound sand.
