(Hill) Rep. Max Rose (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday introduced a bill that could help reduce the amount of terrorist content circulating across the country’s top social media platforms.
The Raising the Bar Act would create a government-backed program to help tech companies eliminate the scourge of posts, images and videos from terrorist groups such as ISIS and al Qaeda on their social networks.
“The social media companies have established standards for themselves that everybody agrees on for terrorist content … it should have no place on their platforms,” Rose told the Hill in a phone interview Tuesday. “This bill is about establishing a public-private partnership that holds the social media companies to their own standards.”
