"Britain will give Facebook just 24 hours to remove sickening, illegal content or prosecute the social media giant under a new law, the Daily Express can reveal today. The Daily Express and the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) compiled a collection of violent and hate-filled material seen and shared on Facebook, which is meant to be used only by those aged 13 and over. The research found 26 terrorists behind global attacks - including London and Manchester - were at least partly radicalised on social media. Our file of 33 gruesome films include sick recruitment drives by banned neo-Nazi group National Action, which celebrated the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox in 2016. We handed it to Damian Collins, chairman of the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, who last night demanded a personal explanation from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Mr Collins said: 'If you don't take down illegal content, radical content, when you are notified; if you don't take every reasonable step to find it for yourself, then we will take action against you as a company.'"
