(Reuters) Σε ένα κόσμο που οι τρομοκρατικές επιθέσεις αυξάνονται συνεχώς, η Microsoft ανακοίνωσε την Παρασκευή νέες πολιτικές που έρχονται για να πατάξουν αυτό που ονομάζεται “τρομοκρατικό περιεχόμενο” σε ορισμένες από τις services to its consumers.
In a blog post, the company announced that it would ban any "terrorist content" for some of its services, such as Xbox Live, the consumer version of Outlook e-mail, and any services they may share ( sharing) files consumers.
As for the Bing search engine, Microsoft said it would only remove links when "required by search providers and local law."
Initially, Microsoft will rely on consumers who should report any inappropriate content. The company also announced that it would fund research into a content scans tool that will mark inappropriate images, audio and video.
“Θα θεωρούμε τρομοκρατικό περιεχόμενο, υλικό που δημοσιεύτηκε από ή προς υποστήριξη των οργανισμών που περιλαμβάνονται στη λίστα κυρώσεων του Συμβουλίου Ασφαλείας των Ηνωμένων Εθνών (Consolidated United Nations Security Council Sanctions List), η οποία απεικονίζει γραφικά τη βία, την ενθάρρυνση της βίαιης δράσης, την υποστήριξη τρομοκρατικών οργανώσεων ή τις τρομοκρατικές πράξεις, την ενθάρρυνση συμμετοχής σε τέτοιου είδους ομάδες , κ.α.” αναφέρει η δημοσίευση στο blog.
All of this, of course, illustrates the difficult situation many businesses face in balancing public security with the protection of individual rights.
The issue came to the fore after Apple and the US government clashed over whether federal authorities could compel Apple to create a software that could unlock an iPhone (and more) used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists last year.
"The events of recent months are a powerful reminder that the Internet can be used for the worst purposes imaginable," says Microsoft.
Microsoft also said that users would be able to use an online form to recommend content removal.
"Use this web form to report content posted by or in support of a terrorist organization that graphically depicts violence, encourages violent actions, supports a terrorist organization or its actions, or encourages the people to participate in such groups,” the guidelines state.
