Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, has said that the government is considering taking action against websites which promote Islamic extremism.
"If we are ready and willing to take action to stop the grooming of vulnerable young people on social networking sites, then I believe we should also take action against those who groom vulnerable people for the purposes of violent extremism," Smith said on Thursday.
She said that the government was examining ways in which extremist material could be tracked and removed. She said:
"In the next few weeks, I will be talking to industry and critically to those in the community about how best to do this, how best to identify material that is drawing vulnerable young people into violent extremism.
"Where there is illegal material on the net, I want it removed."
