'The U.S. government’s failure to be at the table to discuss those policy approaches shows it doesn’t take the fight against violence and terror online seriously,' University of Sydney professor Fiona Martin said.
President Donald Trump is"fence-sitting to please political extremists" by declining to sign an international pledge to confront online extremism, an expert in digital media governance and regulation said.
"In saying it supports the agreement, but won’t sign it, it’s fence-sitting to please political extremists in its constituency," Martin said in a statement."Trump’s government wants to reply on productive speech or counterspeech as the solution to terrorist speech. This approach doesn’t work, and wouldn’t have stopped the Christchurch attack livestream or its frightening aftermath.
The White House did not respond when asked by Newsweek to clarify concerns regarding freedom of expression.
