(Sydney Morning Herald) Prime Minister Scott Morrison has gained an agreement from world leaders to put new pressure on Facebook and other social media giants to halt the spread of violent terrorism online in the wake of the Christchurch attacks in March.
The declaration at the G20 summit in Japan is a significant victory for Mr Morrison and the Australian government in demanding faster action by all companies to take down violent terror content.
The Osaka summit ended on Saturday afternoon with a warning to the social media companies to lift their standards, a message backed by all members including US President Donald Trump after months of Australian diplomatic effort.
