Web Ban to Tackle Extremism to be Proposed by David Cameron
The Telegraph |
David Cameron is expected today to reveal plans to ban
hate preachers from using the internet and from working with children. In a bid
to shut down extremism, the Prime Minister is putting forward new proposals
that will inhibit the platforms available to these radicals to influence
younger generations. These 'extremism disruption orders' provide a blacklist of
groups and individuals subject to the ban whose social media use will be
curtailed in order to prevent home-grown terrorism. This is just the latest in
Cameron's campaign to fight this issue; he has already pledged 5m towards
charities committed to providing "credible alternate narratives".
According to David Cameron and Theresa May, radicalisation
is a problem that can only be overcome with the help of Muslim communities. In
a post published to Facebook, the politician called for a "positive
alternative" to extremist propaganda that is allowing for a "warped
interpretation of theology and scripture". He believes these will show
"the boy in East London or the girl in Birmingham how proud you can feel
to be both British and Muslim, without conflict or contradiction".
