Australia threatens socialmedia executives with jail over terror images

SYDNEY - Australia warned social media giants Tuesday that executives could be jailed if they fail to quickly remove extremist material from their platforms.

"They should be able to pull down this sort of terrorist material and other types of very dangerous material in the same sort of time frame and apply their great capacities to the real challenges to keep Australians safe," he added. Attorney-General Christian Porter said the response from firms during Tuesday's meeting was"thoroughly underwhelming".
