Facebook has also deleted profile and groups who were violated the policies.
Fishman said further “ We have made important developments in identifying and dealing with such posts”. He said, “ We are not in an illusion that we had done sufficient work”. Facebook was having a team of 150 members which has been increased to 200 people.
They further added “ We take terrorism as an organisation who wants to procure political, religious and ideological agenda, by treating normal population, government and international organisations and organising preplanned violence to capture the public property.
The terrorist organisation always try to put hurdles in our system. It is notable that, Twitter recently made an announcement that microblogging website has suspended more than 10 lakh accounts involved in spreading terrorism.
