Scott Morrison secures G20 deal to block violent terrorism on Facebook and social media

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has gained an agreement from world leaders to put new pressure on Facebook and other social media giants to halt the spread of violent terrorism online in the wake of the Christchurch attacks in March.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has persuaded world leaders to back his plan to crackdown on social media companies hosting violent terror-related material.The statement from the G20 puts pressure on the companies to act immediately when contacted by authorities to remove terrorist content such as the live video of an attack or other violent posts that seek to spread terror or recruit followers.

The joint statement was a significant breakthrough because Mr Trump and his officials had expressed concern about any stance that could be seen as a restriction on freedom of speech."The internet must not be a safe haven for terrorists to recruit, incite or prepare terrorist acts," they said.

CroweDM This will go down in the annals of history just like Hockey’s 2014 G20 2% extra world growth communique. Garbage ScoMo will get moved on in the not too distant future like Joe was. Both Murdoch stooges with no redeeming features for the betterment of ordinary Australians auspol

CroweDM sounds all good but don't they first start chatting like they your friend and its when they meet the ones in real is when they ask them to kill the non believers and themselves in the name of their human written book. How you going to stop that part

CroweDM and a free trip for JOE

CroweDM Do you think anyone knew who he was?

CroweDM It's a PM Ardern's initiative, not Morrison's. Morrison's just pushing the issue. The victory is PM Ardern's. nzherald

CroweDM Oh !! My hero, demanding this, demanding that on the 'world stage'. Yesterday he was 'begging' people. Scott's PR team needs to get their stories straight. Other countries started doing this months ago, we are running behind again. He simply agreed, that is all folks,

CroweDM That sounds very noble . . . but on the hand why is it always Australians pushing censorship, nanny state control and public safety causes. Australian government already blocking websites!

CroweDM A significant victory for our PM would be when Facebook, Google, Uber & Co start paying taxes in Australia

CroweDM Gee what about free speech!!!!

CroweDM ScoMo becomes a world leader. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

CroweDM Translation: no big issues solved.

CroweDM More internet censorship by the right-wing hypocrites. Such win!!

CroweDM Australia finally has a true leader.

CroweDM Censorship does no one any good.

CroweDM Define 'terror-related'.
