In fact , ISIS and its supports tweet and station upwards of 90,000 time a daylight and has led tothe U.S.andthe U.K.to reconsider its propaganda social media scheme . France wants to take a slightly unlike feeler and figure out with the gargantuan U.S. tech companies directly .

The French interior ministerBernard Cazeneuve met with Google , Facebook , and Twitterto talk about a possible partnership to help battle terrorism that uses online serving as means to preach hate and violence . Inofficial responses to The Associated Press , Twitter and Facebook say they do everything they can to scrub their massive platforms of any content that would instigate violence but did n’t go as far as to say they ’d be a part of France ’s anti - terrorism justness league . Google tellsNBC Newsthat community flag actually works fairly well , and that they ’re normally able to get TV down within the hour .
