The White House said in a statement today that it would host a meeting this week with tech companies about online extremism, following this weekend’s two mass shootings.
“The White House has invited internet and technology companies for a discussion on violent extremism online,” White House spokesperson Judd Deere said in a statement. “The staff-led meeting will take place Friday and include senior administration officials along with representatives of a range of companies.”
It wasn’t immediately clear, though, which companies would be involved in the meeting. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment. Facebook and Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
