The European Union announced Monday that it will launch in December a forum bringing together Internet firms and law enforcement agencies to combat online extremism.
"We need to counter this abuse of the internet and its growing role in radicalization with determination and a shared plan of action. That is exactly the reason why we are setting up the EU Internet Forum," EU Home Affairs Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said.
"I will officially launch the Internet Forum on December 2 this year, with most of the large internet players around the table," he told a meeting of home affairs ministers in Brussels.
