TORONTO—Canada and its G7 partners have warned the world’s biggest internet companies to do a better job of deleting “vile” material from their platforms and dangled the threat of forcing them if they fall short.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said he and his fellow G7 security ministers delivered that message in their April 24 meeting with Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft: do more to prevent their platforms from being exploited by terrorists, sexual predators, human traffickers, and purveyors of fake news.
