The European Commission is planning to order websites to delete extremist content on their sites within an hour to avoid the risk of being fined. The regulation would affect Twitter, Facebook and YouTube among others. The crackdown would lead to the EU abandoning its current approach - where the firms self-police - in favour of explicit rules.
The shake-up comes in the wake of high-profile terror attacks across Europe over the past few years.
Julian King, the EU's commissioner for security, told the Financial Times [Subscription required] that the EU would "take stronger action in order to protect our citizens".
The BBC has confirmed the details of the report.

Just because, you're the top dog doesn't negate the fact that others have similar power. In reality, anyone attacking any of those 3 would have signed their own death warrant. Any real conflict between those 3 powers while likely that the USA would come out "on top", it would be bloody and definitely put the entire world on edge. When you have the kinds of power that a Nuclear Arsenal gives you, it really is too much.
