Home secretary Amber Rudd has echoed calls from the prime minister for internet giants to do more to crack down on extremism and is set to meet with tech firms in Silicon Valley to discuss a potential solution.
Rudd’s crusade got off to an inauspicious start however after her efforts were ridiculed by technology website The Register which dryly observed that Silicon Valley executives were tiring of posturing politicians.
Rudd is threatening to introduce new laws to tackle the spread of extremism on social media platforms in the wake of a series of terror attacks in the UK.
