answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2017 answer text <p>This Government takes seriously the issue of online terrorist content, hate crime, and abuse.</p><p> </p><p>We work in partnership with major technology firms across the spectrum of online harms, identifying ways to tackle threats.</p><p>In the UK our dedicated police Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) refers content that they assess as contravening UK terrorism legislation to industry. If industry agree that it breaches their terms and conditions, they remove it voluntarily. Through this process, in 2016 CTIRU secured the removal of over 120,000 pieces of terrorist material. The Home Office can only obtain the specific data requested on terrorism at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Last year we published a new Hate Crime Action Plan which focuses on reducing hate crime both on and offline, increasing reporting and improving support for victims.</p><p>As part of this, we agreed with internet service providers including Google, Facebook and Twitter that they would remove illegal content within 24 hours of it being posted, meaning people are better protected online. Snapchat and Whatsapp both contain end to end encryption on their messages, which means the content sent between their users is not publically viewable.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 23/03/2017 14:52:56 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
