Theresa May calls for harsh new security measures
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has called for international agreements to be introduced to help regulate the internet following the tragic London Bridge attacks.
Speaking outside Downing St, the Prime Minister said technology firms were not doing enough to “deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online”.
Ms May said “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.
“We need to work with allied democratic governments to reach international agreements to regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremist and terrorism planning.”
Mr May also said Britain had become too tolerant of extremism, are argued that “pluralistic” British values should be established as superior.
The PM’s comments come after the third terror attack on the UK in three months.
