Fact:
On May 8, 2019, Taliban insurgents detonated an explosive-laden vehicle and then broke into American NGO Counterpart International’s offices in Kabul. At least seven people were killed and 24 were injured.
The Counter Extremism Project (CEP), an international not-for-profit group, said it was “deeply troubling” that WordPress, owned by San Francisco-based Automattic, continued to provide an online platform for the group. David Ibsen, executive director of CEP, said: “The fact that WordPress continues to provide technical support to ScottishDawn.com even after the neo-Nazi group’s website was notified by CEP is deeply troubling. At the very least, it is evident that WordPress does not have in place an adequate system for quickly and transparently addressing flagged content, let alone spotting and blocking extremist and terrorist websites unprompted.” Speaking earlier this year, Ms Rudd described National Action as a “vile racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic group which glorifies violence and stirs up hatred.
