Uk may use taxes on tech giants to prevent Terrorism.

Its a ridiculously stupid policy. Aside from it being physically impossible to keep all objectionable material off of the web and playing catch up to it will always be just that the idea that the state has a monopoly on what they deem to be 'terrorist material' is the thin end of the wedge imo.
This is leaving aside the much bigger issue that this will do not one iota to stop lone wolf style attacks.

But surely the Tech Giants like Facebook aren't doing enough to stop the terrorist recruitment material that is out there. There have been reports of quite plain simple IS videos that had been flagged multiple times and they had failed to be taken down. I support this move and it should be spread to apps like Instagram and Twitter.

If someone wants to view radical material this token move really isnt going to stop them though. Not to mention the logistics of it make it completely impractical.
My main objection though is the slippery slope it represents with respect to freedom of speech.

"A slippery slope with respect to freedom of speech"

It's already illegal to incite and support a banned terrorist organisation this new tax is not going to affect free speech just merely stopping the spread of radical extremism and if you think this will not help prevent radical material being widely available then you are mistaken a new study by National Radicalisation Research shows " 70% of people who are radicalised are from the internet" most posts take around hours to be taken off this measure will most likely force Social media sites to take them off instantly.

According to London Reuters " Britain may impose new taxes on tech giants like Google and Facebook unless they do more to combat online extremism by taking down material aimed at radicalising people or helping them to prepare attacks, the country’s security minister said."

What do you guys think do you support the move or is it too harsh?
Is the government doing enough to prevent terrorism?

Edit: as Napp said before me:

Tech giants aren't going to look closely at each post and determine which to remove fairly. That would be incredibly expensive. Far cheaper to do blanket removals.

Many people with views outside the norm will be caught up in this censorship, whether or not they promote violence. And it would be a great opportunity to slip in a few people the tech giants themselves don't like.
