May calls for more work to stop online extremism

BRUSSELS, June 22 (KUNA) -- UK Prime Minister Theresa May stressed Thursday that more work should be done in order to halt online extremism.
Speaking to journalists ahead of the EU summit due here later today, May said she will be calling on other European leaders "to do more working together to ensure that we stop the spread of extremism online, that we prevent terrorists from having a safe space online and we keep our citizens safe." She expressed her pleasure to be participating in the EU summit here Thursday, "following the constructive start of our negotiation, for the UK to leave the EU." "Today I'm going to be setting out some UK's plans, particularly on how we propose to protect the rights of EU citizens and UK citizens as we leave the EU but there'll be also other issues on the agenda, such as counter-terrorism," she told journalists ahead of the EU summit.
