A U.N. panel is calling for Internet and social media companies to respond
to
the exploitation of their services by al-Qaida and other extremist groups
who
use the web to recruit fighters and spout "increasingly horrific
propaganda."
The panel recommended in a report circulated Wednesday that these companies
brief the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against
al-Qaida, its
affiliates and the Islamic State group on measures they are taking to
prevent
such exploitation.
