Police across Europe will ?patrol? Facebook, Google and Twitter for postings supporting terrorism under an EU project detailed in a leaked report.
Internet firms also face an array of new obligations to monitor their services for extremist material, according to a document about the?Clean IT? initiative?seen by The Telegraph.
?It must be legal for police officers to ?patrol? on social media. This includes having a profile, joining user groups, sending and receiving messages, on the platform,? the document says.
Officials are also preparing proposals for ?semi automated detection? systems and buttons to allow users to report suspicious activity on social networks and chatrooms to authorities.
?Users must be provided a way to flag/report terrorism and radicalising content as a separate, specific category to flag/report,? the report, produced last month, recommends.
?Providers of chat boxes, email services, messaging systems, social networks, retailing sites, voice over internet protocol ad web forums must have flagging systems.?
The monitoring and flagging systems would be linked to law enforcement agencies, with data shared across Europe.
Civil rights activists warned that Clean IT, funded by a 400,000 euro grant and led by Dutch counter-terrorism officials, could mandate ?vigilantism? online and a clampdown on free speech.
