The coalition Government take the threat of online extremist or hate videos very seriously. Where such unlawful videos are hosted in the United Kingdom, the police seek their removal and also have the ability to sanction this under the Terrorism Act 2006. In cases where unlawful videos are hosted overseas, we work closely with our international partners and the internet industry to effect their removal.
