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.

True enough.
I was just making the point that in most Western nations people travel overseas, and will be more likely to have actually visited America, whereas the average American seems to view foreign countries as on another planet or something.
I live several thousand kilometres away from the US across an ocean, but I don't think I know anyone who hasn't actually been there.
