SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15 — The British government has unveiled a
tool that it says can block extremist content on the Internet with
reasonable accuracy.
The new software, developed by London-based data science firm ASI on behalf
of the British government, can identify and block 94 percent of IS
propaganda video with 99.99 accuracy, according to British Home Secretary
Amber Rudd here on Tuesday. Rudd is on a two-day visit to San francisco
meeting with tech giants and U.S. officials to discuss how to better combat
extremists on Internet platforms.Rudd said the software is designed to be
offered to small tech firms that cannot afford to develop such systems. She
did not rule out forcing technology companies to use it by law.”We’re not
going to rule out taking legislative action if we need to do it,” she said.
The secretary said that last year, all of the five attacks on British soil
had an online component.”It does seem that those who commit terrorist
murders on our streets are increasingly influenced by what they read and
what they see online,” Rudd said.Last year, IS supporters in Britain used
more than 400 separate online platforms for propaganda, according to
British Home Office analysis. – XINHUA
