"'The recent surge of terror attacks in France has shown that now, more than ever before, we need to clamp down on the spread of terrorist content online,' said David Ibsen, executive director of the Counter Extremism Project. ... 

Yet Ibsen said governments face an uphill battle without concerted efforts by the companies providing the platforms that extremists are so easily exploiting.

'The continued ease of access to hyper-violent imagery and videos on social media demonstrates tech companies' failure to keep their promises and address the prevalence of extremist and terrorist content online," he said."
