This includes working closely with the EU and other international partners to push industry to take a more proactive approach to detecting and removing terrorist content from their platforms, including by legislative means.</p><p>On 12 September, the European Commission announced a regulation to tackle terrorist content online. The UK has worked with the Commission and other Member States to ensure the proposed Regulation is ambitious and has meaningful impact on the problem.</p><p>If agreed, the Regulation would have direct effect in domestic law and as such, we do not consider that any changes to domestic law would be necessary. This would be dependent on the outcome of EU Exit negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 21/12/2018 17:35:22 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>This Government has been clear there should be no safe space online for terrorists and their supporters to radicalise, recruit, incite, or inspire. In March 2017, the Home Secretary held a very positive meeting with industry to discuss online terrorist content. Subsequent to the roundtable, Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft made a public commitment to look at options for establishing an industry led forum focused on tackling terrorist and extremist content online.</p><p>This was formally announced by the companies on 26 June 2016. We continue to work closely with industry to come up with new, innovative ways for tackling terrorist use of the internet but, as the Prime Minister has made clear, we will also explore the possibility of creating legal requirements for communications service providers if they fail to take the necessary action to remove unacceptable content.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 04/07/2017 09:23:17 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
