One thing is good to know that other big social networking firms like Google and Twitter gives great response and are likely to reinforce Facebook’s plan so that they can develop safe and effective tools to fight against online terrorism or extremism.

Government agencies put pressure on Facebook to take an initiative to fight online extremism.
Last week I wrote an article about twitter has suspended 125,000 accounts of ISIS or the accounts of people who are supporting them. Twitter also introduced the council named – TRUST AND SAFETY.

They have been working hard on the development between promoting free speech and limiting on their platform.
Facebook made a strategy against terrorism last year which came out with great results.
