I wanted to offer another reply:
I think it's dangerous to engineer for moderating against terrorism/extremism.
Surely there are things Google and Facebook could do but if it were me I would not want to. There are automated ways to look for extremism, but to do it ~well~ it would certainly require a human to rule out false-positives. At that point Facebook and Google become an extension of law enforcement, and if something is not caught it then becomes a liability to have involvement in the first place. No sane person wants to see anyone get hurt, but is the gov paying for assistance from Facebook/Google? They can't just put engineering hours toward something for the Greater Good (tm). Lets create a task force within Google to assist law enforcement for the 200+ countries "fighting extremism".
The gov wants what it wants without considering the harm to civil liberties of its citizens or what risk it might be exposing corporations to.
It all feels like manipulation.
