<p>Extremist and terrorist organisations, notably social media sites, are exploiting

to support their aims. Some vulnerable individuals, including young people are being
misled by this damaging propaganda.</p><p>We are working closely with responsible
internet and social media companies to take robust action against terrorist and extremist
material and safeguard users. Since 2010 over 140,000 pieces of terrorist-related
material have been removed by industry from various online platforms at the request
of the dedicated police Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU). Approximately
58,000 removals were made in 2015 alone.</p>
