<p>As part of our work to deliver the Serious Violence Strategy, we have established
a social media action group to bring together Government, social media companies,
police, and community groups to tackle violent material available via social media.
The social media companies represented include Google (YouTube), Facebook, Twitter
and Snapchat. The group meets regularly and has received updates on the development
of the new police capability to tackle gang related content online, which was announced
by the Home Secretary on 17 June.</p><p>The Home Secretary has not met social media
companies to specifically discuss violent online material. However on 11 June 2018,
representatives from Google and Facebook attended a meeting of the Serious Violence
Taskforce chaired by the Home Secretary, to present the action being taken to tackle
violent content online.</p>
