Facebook, Microsoft and Google stand against hate speech!

European regulatory authorities notified the IT giants - Microsoft, Facebook and Google - about hateful content being rolled out on their respective sites or on services which was later agreed by these organizations and promised to get it removed as soon as possible.

After the attacks in Brussels and Paris, European Union is committed to remove the hateful speech of any kind on social media platforms or on any other websites. A specific code of conduct has been released just to push web companies to remove such content as soon as possible for which they all have agreed. Meanwhile, Facebook has been working with Germany to combat racist speech and content over their platform.

It may have put in difficult situation for the tech organizations but it is still necessary to combat terrorist over the social media by removing and taking serious steps of preventing hateful speech.
