Facebook, Google and Twitter are stepping up efforts to combat online
propaganda and recruiting by Islamic militants, but the internet
companies are doing it quietly to avoid the perception that they are
helping the authorities police the web.
Facebook said it took down
a profile that the company believed belonged to San Bernardino shooter
Tashfeen Malik, who with her husband is accused of killing 14 people in a
mass shooting that the FBI is investigating as an "act of terrorism."
Last
week the French prime minister and European Commission officials met
separately with Facebook, Google, Twitter and other companies to demand
faster action on what the commission called "online terrorism incitement
and hate speech."
The internet companies described their policies
as straightforward: they ban certain types of content in accordance
with their own terms of service, and require court orders to remove or
block anything beyond that. Anyone can report, or flag, content for
review and possible removal.
