The Prime Minister said terrorists had ‘safe spaces’ online
New international agreements should be introduced to regulate the internet in the light of the London Bridge terror attack, Theresa May has said.
The Prime Minister said introducing new rules for cyberspace would “deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online” and that technology firms were not currently doing enough.
The Prime Minister made the comments outside Downing Street on Sunday morning in the aftermath of the van and knife attack that saw seven people killed and dozens injured.
“We cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed – yet that is precisely what the internet, and the big companies that provide internet-based services provide,” Ms May said.
“We need to work with allied democratic governments to reach international agreements to regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremist and terrorism planning.”
The call was one plank in Ms May’s speech following the attack. The Prime Minister also said Britain was too tolerant of extremism and that “pluralistic” British values had to be established as superior.
An interesting comment from the article: "When did the chinese started using their great firewall? Did that stop the terrorist from terrorizing chinese? I don't think so. Random stabbing still occur and a few years ago a car crashed in Tiananmen square driven by a terrorist. The truth is, most of these terrorist bombings are planned by the government to make people accept their agenda to control people."
