The Government has asked the user to user sites to do so voluntarily, so let's hope that they defy convention and have
the decency to do so.
Unfortunately, but as expected, the Home Secretary said this morning that much of this material, including an Al-Qaeda training manual, has not been taken down.

She went on to say that, if the Online Safety Act didn't deal with this as expected, that the law would be strengthened.

No doubt these sites will then start whining that their right to publish free speech has been curtailed.
