Social websites companies Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have created a joint database of terrorist videos and images after MPs accused them of "passing the buck" in the fight against online extremism.
The tech companies, which has been criticised for allowing their online platforms to become a key recruiting tool for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, said they would be able to identify propaganda more effectively by pooling their resources.
It comes after MPs warned that social mass media sites were unwilling to crack upon terrorism because they feared it would "damage their brands" and that they were becoming the "vehicle of choice" for extremists.
