"At the moment we don't have the legislation for these types of (knife crime-related) content. I have it for terrorist content and child sexual abuse images."

The response marked one of the first times the technology companies worked together to identify problematic content and remove it from their competing platforms. Twitter, which didn't host native video at the time, began notifying video services such as YouTube of links to various versions of the video so the video service could remove them. The ex-Twitter employee said the incident was a "turning … [Read more...] about The Technology 202: Social media companies under pressure to share disinformation data with one another
